About Drainage News

Drainage News is a UK trade news site for the people who design, build, approve and maintain drainage: engineers, contractors, developers, local authority officers and flood risk specialists.

What we cover

Drainage design, flood risk management, sustainable drainage systems, green roofs, soakaways, attenuation and rainwater harvesting. We publish several stories each day, each with a key facts box, background, reaction, what happens next and common questions answered.

Who writes it

Our reporting is organised into specialist desks, each with its own beat. Meet the desks.

How we work

We report from published primary material and credit our sources on every story. Read our editorial standards.
