Resource description:
The MULTISOURCE Planning Platform enables the generation and systematic comparison of urban stormwater management scenarios with and without nature based solutions. It provides decisional support for cities in selecting the most economical and sustainable option in the urban environment for stormwater management.
The Planning Platform is composed of a set of stand-alone tools written in python language and organised as independent packages. Each tool is presented in Section 2 in the form of factsheets, as well as the directory structure, and a description of the modules and functions developed within the package. Two exemplary Planning Platform workflows that utilise different tools are illustrated in Section 3.
In this section is reported the code to import the packages and export the results of the tools using the data of the Ecully catchment. When applying the Planning Platform tools to another European city, the workflow can be adapted to target specific objectives in the urban stormwater management and include other constraints.
The python repositories containing the tools of the Planning Platform will be published in GitLab until the end of the project. In a further step, links to other MULTISOURCE tools, the Hydraulic Disconnection Module and the Technology Selection Tool will be automated.
