We analyse the implementation of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) as a solution to better
manage storm water runoffs and reduce urban flooding, and at the same time provide significant
Ecosystem Services (ES). ES vary from temperature control at urban and building scale to ma in water
savings, depending on the type of SuDS considered. The general objective is to incorporate the
monetary value of SuDS' ecosystem services into the decision making process on storm water
management (SWM) of an urban catchment affected by regular floods, and to optimize the design of
the drainage solution, in order to justify the feasibility of larger investment on this type of systems.
The case study is an urban catchment of 220 ha in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay, where
approximately 600 houses are affected by pluvial floods. Rain barrels and green roofs are the two
types of SuDS considered in the study. An optimization algorithm together with the hydraulic model
of the drainage system is used to determine the optimum size and distribution of the drainage elements
(SuDS and storages). The results show that the inclusion of ES benefits justifies significantly larger
investments on SuDS. When detention storages are considered in combination with SuDS, the largest
flood reductions are achieved as well as the largest total benefits.
