The current (2025) Swiss national framework for municipal drainage planning, replacing the 2010 Musterpflichtenheft. Every Swiss municipality must maintain a Genereller Entwässerungsplan (GEP) and update it on an 8–10-year cycle. The Leitfaden covers situation analysis, sub-project scoping, data management and an action plan — validating the sub-catchment approach and source-control logic used throughout the IUWMP.

The SuDS Manual is a comprehensive technical guide on Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), developed by CIRIA to support the planning, design, construction and maintenance of sustainable urban drainage solutions. It promotes approaches that reduce flood risk, improve water quality, enhance biodiversity and create more attractive urban environments through integrated surface water management. The manual also provides practical guidance on topics such as green roofs, permeable pavements, wetlands, rainwater harvesting, maintenance, community engagement and climate resilience.

This document is a research deliverable from the EU-funded STOPUP project focused on managing urban stormwater quality through a risk-based approach, developing tailored water quality management plans for several European case study cities. STOPUP emphasises identifying and mitigating pollution risks at source. The deliverable provides practical frameworks for assessing and controlling contaminants in urban runoff before they reach receiving water bodies.
