Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying stormwater management opportunities in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for identifying stormwater management opportunities comprises gathering spatial data for a region; rasterizing the spatial data into a set of raster data layers; forming a plurality of benefit maps using subsets of the set of raster data layers, wherein the plurality of benefit maps corresponds to a plurality of benefit categories; generating an opportunity map by combining a subset of the plurality of benefit maps using weights corresponding to the plurality of benefit categories; and displaying the opportunity map on a user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention are software models that present information in a format directly usable by stormwater managers to inform annual program decisions and consistently evaluate the effectiveness of stormwater management actions. Stormwater modeling systems in accordance with many embodiments of the invention provide a tool that can be used by stormwater managers to estimate load reductions. In a number of embodiments, a user interface is provided that streamlines user input data requirements. In this way, the stormwater modeling system can extend the utility of event-based model inputs, generate results that inform management decisions, and demonstrate progress using a common scalable unit.
