| Short description: |
The Eco.SWM is a tool to calculate the so-called 'net present value' for different planning scenarios in water management. It was developed within WP2 (Storm water Management) but is applicable in all fields of water related planning. The software is available for download from http://www.sieker.de/english/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=0&lid=8 .
Because it is often time consuming to collect prices for different alternatives and to present results properly, Eco.SWM has been developed as an application with access to a web-based database. In the database unit prices, operational cost per unit and lifetime expectancy for many different measures can be stored.
The new version 2.2 offers the following:
support for negative costs (i.e. for subsidies),
improved user-interface and
improved web-access.
