Criteria for Evaluation of Urban Drainage and Flood Control
The evaluation of urban drainage and flood control (UDFC) projects is a familiar problem to engineers in the public sector. Benefits for UDFC projects can best be understood by breaking UDFC systems into major and minor sub-systems and thereafter considering major drainage mostly as a protective service and minor drainage mostly as an environmental management service. In this regard, the use of traditional evaluation tools is more applicable to the major system evaluation problem because of the quantifiable nature of the direct benefits (damage reduction). The evaluation of minor drainage systems is restricted to the procedure of setting drainage standards and criteria, then finding minimum cost solutions for meeting the standards.
