Performance indicators for the efficiency analysis of urban drainage systems

Area of Science:

• Environmental Engineering
• Urban Planning
• Systems Analysis

Background:

• Urban drainage systems (UDS) require robust evaluation methods for effective management.
• Decision support systems (DSS) can integrate technical, managerial, and economic factors for UDS assessment.
• Environmental impact is a critical consideration in prioritizing UDS improvements.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present the performance indicators within the MOMA FD decision support system (DSS).
• To detail the information processed by MOMA FD for evaluating urban drainage systems (UDS).
• To highlight the role of environmental impact assessment in UDS improvement prioritization.

Main Methods:

• Implementation of performance indicators in a DSS for UDS evaluation.
• Collection and processing of diverse data for present and future scenario analysis.
• Integration of environmental impact assessment into the decision-making framework.

Main Results:

• MOMA FD provides a comprehensive framework for UDS technical, managerial, and economic evaluation.
• The system effectively processes data to assess current states and future development scenarios.
• Environmental impact is identified as a key factor influencing UDS improvement priorities.

Conclusions:

• The MOMA FD system offers valuable tools for informed decision-making in UDS management.
• Prioritizing UDS enhancements requires a holistic approach considering environmental, technical, and economic aspects.
• Effective DSS implementation can lead to more sustainable and efficient urban drainage infrastructure.
