Pond filled from sustainable drainage, Holland Park
The pond is in the Ecology Centre garden. A notice about SuDS Sustainable Drainage Scheme includes "A pond has been created in the Ecology Centre garden, using water from the channel. The pond will be deeper in wet seasons and shallow or even dry out when the weather is dry." The photo was taken after a very wet February, there had been more rail in the night. With its hard surface and drainage channels the path dries quickly, but the water is conserved and soaks into the ground in the park. Other untreated paths in the park were wet and muddy at this time.

Rainwater conservation path and gutter, Holland Park
"The two main sloping paths and linking paths will be resurfaced with bespoke resin-bonded gravel to provide a more robust surface. Granite sett cross channels at regular intervals will direct surface runoff into micropools, which overflow via swales into shallow basins . ." Quote from Robert Bray Associates description of the project.

Rainwater storage ditch, Holland Park
The park slopes down to Abbotsbury Road which is just beyond this strip of woodland. Most rainwater in the park is trapped higher up to soak into the ground. This deep ditch catches any overflow; after a wet February there is water in it in the photo. Photo
