| Short description: |
The control and treatment of urban surface water runoff involves a variety of stakeholders in the
selection of sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) as the design process needs to consider not
only water quantity but also water quality and amenity. Thus technical, environmental/ecological,
social/community and economic cost factors become prime potential sustainability criteria in
terms of assessing long term, cost-effective drainage options. The paper develops a multi-criteria
analysis (MCA) methodology for the evaluation, ranking and selection of SUDS structures.
