Description:
To assist stormwater management professionals in planning for best management practices (BMPs) and low-impact developments (LIDs) implementation, USEPA is developing a decision support system, called the System for Urban Stormwater Treatment and Analysis INtegration (SUSTAIN). This tool will help develop, evaluate, select, and place BMP/LID options. SUSTAIN, a generic public domain framework, will provide a thorough, practical, and informative assessment of management alternatives considering the economic, environmental, and engineering factors. SUSTAIN supports evaluation of BMP placement at multiple scales from a few city blocks to large watersheds.
