Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Urban Planning
  • Water Resource Management

Background:

  • Urban stormwater system design is complex, especially when incorporating Best Management Practices (BMPs).
  • Traditional drainage design often relies solely on pipe techniques.
  • Evaluating multiple design aspects simultaneously presents a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a decision aid methodology and software (AvDren) for urban stormwater systems.
  • To facilitate the evaluation and comparison of drainage scenarios using BMPs.
  • To support decision-makers in selecting appropriate alternatives and planning investments, particularly in developing countries.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a simple decision aid methodology.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Creation of the AvDren software tool.
  • Evaluation of drainage scenarios based on technical, sanitary, social, environmental, and economic criteria.

    • Main Results:

    • AvDren provides a structured approach to compare diverse drainage scenarios.
    • The software integrates multiple assessment criteria for comprehensive evaluation.
    • It offers a practical tool for informed decision-making in urban stormwater management.

    Conclusions:

    • The AvDren tool simplifies the complex process of designing urban stormwater systems with BMPs.
    • It is particularly valuable for developing countries facing sanitation issues and budget constraints.
    • The methodology aids in selecting optimal drainage solutions and planning investments effectively.
