Abstract: Integrated storm and wastewater management is one of the key aspects of sustainable urban development. A variety of tools exist among which Hydrodynamic models is one of the most important. Additionally, Low Impact Development measures (LIDs), or blue-green infrastructures, among other names, are approaches for management of stormwater runoff with many additional advantages. However, their acceptance and adoption remains lacking. This study presents a tool that models LIDs in a hydrodynamic model in a user friendly and interactive way that showcases the effect of mitigation measures on urban pluvial floods. Thus enabling knowledge transfer of sustainable management approaches for stormwater management to different types of stakeholders and to engage more sectors of society.
