Team reed bed is where a reed bed is part of an overall system , like the final polishing of water after passing through a sewage treatment plant, or an industrial process or an Anaerobic digester etc.
Reed bed basics can also become part of, or a whole, Raingarden. Raingardens are an important part of flood controls as well as enabling plants to survive dry conditions.
They can be used in shopping/office developments or in front of houses as a car park.
They provide a space, that when correctly made and planted, will offer real alternatives to paving blocks and tarmac coverings upon which to park the family car.
The successful Raingarden is dependant upon the most suitable plants for the area to ensure the best anchorage possible when in a thunderstorm, and the best chance of survival in a drought. It must be noted that not all plants will thrive in south west England and north west and Scotland.

REED BED DESIGN BASICS
Reed bed design is not a generic solution, not a one size fits all, it is very site specific, and does not need to be the size of a football pitch, quite the contrary in many cases.
Furthermore, reed beds should be incorporated into the landscape and augmented with bank planting and trees.
Reed bed design should include maintenance
Reed bed design should allow for weather extremes
Reed bed design should meet discharge standards
Reed bed design should include expansion potential
Reed bed design should include bio diversity where possible
Reed bed design should include safety measures
Reed bed design should include green engineering where possible
