I. SWRP PROCESS: Project Prioritization Approach Project Ranking An objective method to rank project relative to a set of stormwater multi-benefits with two components: 1. Spatial Prioritization Analysis: Identify areas of greatest stormwater/dry weather flow impacts/potential benefits. 2. Project Multi-Benefits Assessment Combine multiple criteria for estimating overall value from SW multi-benefits of projects. Water Supply Water Quality Flooding Environmental Community
I. SWRP PROCESS: Project Prioritization Approach Criteria Metrics Impacts + Potential Benefits Water supply Water quality Flood risk Quantitative measure of criteria Dry weather water use GW elevation change Subsidence GW recharge potential Modeled runoff Modeled pollutant loading Sold erodibility Length of impaired WB Impervious area Potential flooded area

III. SWRP PROCESS: Criteria Weighting Scoring Projects Based on Weighted Criteria For each of the multi-benefit criteria: Step #1: Determine the Project Score Project Score is a measure of how well a project satisfies the criteria. Step #2: Project Score x Criteria Weight = Criteria Score Step #3: Sum of all Criteria Scores = Final Project Score Final Project Score is a measure of how well a project satisfies ALL the criteria Step #4: Compare Final Project Scores of all Projects and Rank Projects

Overview building How can we transform the roof? nt ready opportunities for harvesting from roofs through small-scale embedded facilities are one aspect of smart building optimize feedback between environment hieve net energy production, or regenerative us sustainable development, which is carbon ties are chosen according to the level of desired. The simplest service is groundwater of stormwater runoff. Gutters and leaders water create concentrated discharges and or of devices that slow, spread, and soak ut the site. A higher level of service involves en roofs, which absorb and evaporate a cultivated plant and soil community. Green building insulators, minimizing heating and Green walls minimize solar gain during the summer and wind loading during the winter. ing offers three basic levels of service, cisterns with options for treatment. The s rainwater reuse for outdoor landscape complex harvesting service incorporates a supply with additional treatment for nons like toilet flushing and landscape irrigation. of service involves harvesting for potable which requires UV light disinfection for a em, and when combined with water from a utility includes proper back-flow prevention. evapotranspiration biodiversity How can we transform the walls? retention filtration treatment infiltration storage How can we transform the ground? infiltration D facilities on a building site should be ed.
