Article title
This move to was made in accordance with policies of WP:PRECISION and WP:SINGULAR. The subsequent move to does not cite a policy, but is presumably made with reference to WP:COMMONNAME. I've reincluded the former term (which is sourced) in the lead. It would seem to me that the non-specific term is "sustainable drainage system". If some people choose to apply the principles and the term in specific urban environments then so be it. However, they're the same thing. If the term "sustainable urban drainage system" is to be used exclusively, the article should only discuss urban systems. -- Trevj (talk) 05:33, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Reliable sources seem to use both terms, both before and after the creation of this article on 25 May 2006, e.g. papers found at http://www.riool.net/riool/udird.do, ASCE (apparently interchangable terms in title and abstract), CIRIA literature review of Feb 2004. The National SUDS Working Group (including within its Jul 2004 "Interim Code of Practice for SUDS") uses the term "sustainable drainage systems", although vaious CIRIA publications include the "urban" term. -- Trevj (talk) 08:05, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

General Article Improvements
Historical information about the history of drainage systems and the invention and emergence of SuDS is needed.
 * This paper, Historical Perspectives of Urban Drainage by Burian and Edwards, could provide some useful background information about the evolution of drainage systems: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/e073/156af4624e4ad3171da15eb39078010c8705.pdf
 * This State of Green whitepaper also outlines modern efforts nicely: https://stateofgreen.com/files/download/8247
 * Urban Storm Water Preliminary Data Summary by the EPA gives this article some good supporting evidence: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-10/documents/usw_b.pdf

Examples of implemented SuDS would also improve this page. The included list of drainage systems (basins, rain gardens, swales, etc.) should be augmented with pictures and specific sites where those systems are in use. Ccluff4 (talk) 06:51, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * A convenient list of case studies of SuDS in use in the UK can be found on the Susdrain website: http://www.susdrain.org/case-studies/
 * More case studies in the Hudson Valley, New York: http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/58930.html

Proposed merge of Green infrastructure for stormwater management into Sustainable drainage system
Basically the same topic with the same outline of topics, not sure if the terms should be merged. Content that doesn't combine with the sustainable water management could also be partially integrated with green infrastructure. Sadads (talk) 13:27, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
