Manual
The content of the manual is based on the direct experience of the LIFE BEWARE pilot project, which allowed the implementation of different types of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) in two municipalities of the Alto Vicentino, namely the municipalities of Santorso and Marano Vicentino. The purpose of this manual is to provide both public and private planners, managing bodies and professionals, as well as ordinary citizens, with practical guidelines for the correct choice, or realisation and maintenance of SuDS. In this context, the aim was to give communities a sense of responsibility towards the management of urban runoff by encouraging them to carry out small interventions themselves that could have a positive effect on the community (decrease in the risk of flooding, reduction of the heat island effect, etc.), and on individual homeowners (accumulation of water for irrigation, increase in property value, etc.). The manual, therefore, has the ultimate goal of favouring the diffusion of SuDS in particular by facilitating the work of planners who will be able to find in it a support tool both in terms of the choice of possible solutions and their hydraulic dimensioning.
LIFE BEWARE Tools
At this link you can access the following tools developed by the BEWARE project:
- Tool for the interactive visualization of the results of the cost-benefit analysis: the tool allows you to navigate on a map and view, at the local level, the benefits of the widespread adoption of natural water retention measures on the territory of the Municipalities of Santorso and Marano Vicentino (for details consult report 4 on the socio-economic impacts of the interventions).
- Tool for the application of the kinematic reservoir method, useful in the dimensioning of natural water retention measures and other interventions of hydraulic invariance.
- Tool for applying the Rainfall-only method, useful in the dimensioning of natural water retention measures and other interventions of hydraulic invariance.
