New report about Decision Support for Rain- and Stormwater Harvesting
The project Decision Support for Rainwater and Stormwater Harvesting has resulted in an SVU report, which is now published and can be used as guidance in planning and decision-making regarding stormwater reuse.
The main findings of the report can be summarised as follows:
- The MCA methodology proved to be a useful tool for structuring complex decisions on the reuse of rainwater and stormwater, particularly when several stakeholders with different goals and perspectives are involved.
- By involving different stakeholder groups in scoring and weighting, a shared understanding and dialogue was created on how technical, social, environmental and economic aspects should be valued when choosing a solution.
- Experience shows that tools based on MCA do not automatically provide a ready-made decision, but they create the conditions for well-balanced decisions by highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of different alternatives.
- The report also includes suggestions for criteria and scoring methods that can be applied in similar projects and in future planning processes.
