SUDS research at Coventry University Stephen J Coupe Coventry University SUDSnet meeting The University of Sheffield, 30 th November 2005

Historical Context Permeable pavements are well represented Long association with Formpave Ltd Interdisciplinary research has been successful Recycled water safety, water harvesting and reuse, ‘intelligent feeding’ of microbes and pesticide attenuation and biodegradation are new areas of work.

Oil attenuation and biodegradation

Microbial biofilms

Nutrient provision Geotextiles containing nutrients

Water harvesting and reuse

Other projects Analysis of the structural stability of plastic crate storage systems. Modelling of evaporation and infiltration through novel geotextiles. Microbial environmental indicator studies. Analysis of alternative sub-base materials.
