| Short description: |
Structural and non-structural “Best Management Practices” (BMPs) in the field of stormwater
source control are not equally distributed throughout Europe. The DayWater project aims to
encourage the use of urban stormwater pollution source control measures by building a
prototype of a relevant adaptive decision support system (ADSS). A major characteristic of the
ADSS is its adaptability to internal (e.g. variety of stakeholder viewpoint and knowledge,
urban political constraints) and external (e.g. spatial scale, rain/snow patterns) conditions of the
decision-making procedure. The DayWater project focuses on stormwater which is treated
locally in urban areas using various structural source control techniques such as detention and
re-use, swales and soakaways, catch-basins, wetlands, ponds, porous paving etc. or nonstructural
methods as public regulations (e.g. stormwater related taxes) or private actions (e.g.
street sweeping). Runoff water management operations such as stormwater source control,
encounter acceptance difficulties because of their numerous interactions with urban life and
developmental issues. These aspects demonstrate the necessity of heterogeneous data
collection and a complex decision-making processes involving numerous stakeholders (urban
and civil engineering, as well as environmental associations etc).
