Water Resources a) Ensure Supplies by capturing rainfall that falls on the Downs and building reservoirs in the South Downs as opportunities arise. This will reduce coastal groundwater and can provide leisure facilities and enhance nature.
b) SUDS are only a partial answer to flooding. Small ponds in boggy places are more effective, better for wildlife and they enhance the environment generally. There should also be rain water capture and re-use of grey water from houses to use in toilets and water gardens, hopefully planted with copious trees and shrubs. This should be a requirement of planning permission.
