#31 - Neil Armitage: Reflections, from a canoe chute and litter traps to Day Zero and South Africa's Sustainable Drainage

  • サマリー

  • Neil Armitage, Emeritus Professor from the University of Cape Town reflects on his journey from engineering through to academia and the human side of sustainable drainage systems. We reflect on South Africa's integrated urban water management challenges and have fun picking at terminology around SuDS, WSUD, LIDs and the like. We see what Neil is up to at the moment and look back at the major lessons he has learnt.
