Summary: Urban water management has traditionally been aided by hydrological and water quality modelling, used by engineers. The advent of Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) also introduced urban planners into urban water management, bringing different types of models with them. So-called “Planning Support Systems” (PSS) are spatial tools that aid planning processes and can enhance BGI siting strategies. In this webinar, Mr. Kuller will provide a brief introduction into the power of PSS, and discuss the (im)possibilities to evaluate their performance
