Water Sensitive Cambridge CIC

Water Sensitive Cambridge is on a mission to get rain back into the ground close to where it falls. We will do this by retrofitting rain gardens and other sustainable drainage features near highways using existing green spaces or creating new ones. The benefits to nature are numerous, such as biodiversity and giving water support for existing green infrastructure (tree plantings, low traffic neighbourhoods, verges), but also softens the built landscape and creates cooler and more pleasant streets. These features also improve the quality and flow of rivers, by filtering, sinking and slowing the flow of water.
