Description
Discover how to turn flood risk and sustainable drainage guidance into a compelling, landscape-led design story for your projects.
This webinar, hosted by Vectorworks’ Marketa Hermova, uses a UK attenuation pond case study to show how SuDS principles, Environment Agency Flood Zone mapping, and CIRIA SuDS Manual best practice can become a powerful narrative for clients, planners, and communities.
Learn how Vectorworks Landmark can help you quickly interpret flood maps for planning data, shape basin form and planting to C753 checklist parameters, and visualise water storage and flow paths in ways that non-technical audiences immediately understand.
You’ll also see how to create clear graphics, data-rich drawings, and visuals that communicate water quantity, quality, amenity, and biodiversity benefits — positioning you as the go-to consultant for nature-based surface and stormwater management solutions in the UK.Learning outcomes
- Interpret Environment Agency Flood Map for Planning data and Flood Zone classifications to define appropriate surface and stormwater SuDS strategies for UK sites.
- Apply CIRIA SuDS Manual (C753) basin design principles – including geometry, slopes, storage, and planting — to attenuation pond concepts that balance water quantity, quality, amenity, and biodiversity.
- Use Vectorworks Landmark to geo-reference flood data, model catchments and storage, and produce clear, data-rich drawings and visualisations that communicate SuDS benefits to clients, planners, and multi-disciplinary teams.
