Abstract
Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) are increasingly being implemented around the world. A common barrier to the wider use of SuDS in South Africa is the uncertainty regarding their total cost. The need for reasonable predictions of life cycle cost is vital, both in terms of ensuring the viability of the proposed projects as well as to allow for comparison with more conventional designs that have historically relied on concrete pipes and culverts to transport the stormwater to nearby receiving water bodies as quickly and efficiently as possible.
