Key features

The urban realm works of the Molí d’Animeta sector, with 14.4 ha of impervious area, is a good example of integrating SuDS strategies with the conventional drainage system to meet the requirements at the point of discharge. By using permeable pavements, rain gardens, attenuation basins and infiltration ponds as runoff control elements, it has been possible to reduce the directional drilling diameter under the V-30 highway and to guarantee an adequate water quality prior to the discharge into the new Turia riverbed.

From the early planning stages, the needs of the different SuDS techniques have been considered, mainly in terms of space and their integration into multifunctional infrastructures.
