Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS)
Construction, extension, operation and renewal of urban drainage systems facilities that mitigate pollution and flood hazards due to discharges of urban runoff and improve the urban water quality and quantity, by harnessing natural processes, such as infiltration and retention. The activity includes SUDS promoting infiltration, evaporation and other stormwater treatments.

Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.80): Stormwater separation is a specific sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) implementation that falls within the broader SUDS activity scope.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.75): Infiltration ponds are a specific type of sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) for stormwater management and water infiltration.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.70): Flood retention areas share water management and resilience objectives with sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), though SUDS is more narrowly focused on drainage.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.65): Flood management infrastructure relates to sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), though SUDS is more specifically focused on drainage rather than broader flood management.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.75): Stormwater management overlaps with SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems), though SUDS is the more specific EU activity addressing both stormwater and water retention.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.98): Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) is named identically in both taxonomies and represents the same activity.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.78): Stormwater management relates to sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), though SUDS is more specific to nature-based drainage solutions.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.65): Nature-based systems for drought/flood prevention overlap with SUDS concept, though the activity is broader and covers flood/drought prevention beyond urban drainage.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.98): Activity name and definition match directly with the EU taxonomy activity for Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS).
