Yes, they command what we would call the water quantity part of SuDS. SuDS has four elements; bioimmunity, biodiversity, water quality and water quantity. And so water quantity is where the SuDS element with attenuation tanks comes in just because essentially it’s dealing with that quantity of water. An attenuation tank does not constitute a SuDS system, it’s part of a SuDS system. A SuDS system is a entire holistic design to now protect them in the same biodiversity of the site and now for future generations. But an attenuation tank is a very important part of SuDS to cope with that water quantity.
