Quantifying the effects of urban stormwater management - towards a novel approach for integrated planning

Abstract

Integrated planning of stormwater management requires a quantitative description of positive<BR>and negative effects of possible measures. We suggest quantifying these effects with generic<BR>performance indicators within eight categories: building physics and services, landscape<BR>quality, urban climate, biodiversity, groundwater, surface water, direct costs and indirect<BR>environmental costs. The results indicate that the defined performance indicators allow an<BR>objective pre-selection of measures based on their ability to reach local stormwater<BR>management goals. The final selection of measures should be based on an evaluation for a<BR>specific city quarter (to reduce indicator uncertainty) and reviewed by local stakeholders.In.: Quantifying the effects of urban stormwater management - towards a novel approach for integrated planning / Andreas Matzinger. - 8 S. : graph.
