Plasma water quality treatment for SuDS development

Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) design and management can contribute to a healthier and greener urban development. We show how the inclusion of innovative approaches to SuDS namely the plasma engineering can lead to a more effective and less detrimental water quality treatment. The treatment method using Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma actuator, can be retrofitted to the current urban setting, it is cheap and provides efficient alternative for water purification and pollution treatment. We present its environmental benefits causing minimal impact to the surroundings while controlling and managing the pollution. We investigate this in both the city and catchment scale contexts.
