Green Infrastructure Modeling Toolkit
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
*Includes: Stormwater Management Model (SWMM), National Stormwater Counter (SMC), Green Infrastructure Wizard (GiWizard), Watershed Management Optimization Tool (WMOST), Visualizing Ecosystems for Land Management Asessment (VELMA) Model, Green Infrastructure Flexible Model (GIFMod), Community-enabled Lifecycle Analysis of Stormwater Infastructure Costs (CLASIC) Tool, and the Integrated Decision Support Tool (i-DST)
This modeling toolkit links to several EPA modeling tools that can be used to manage runoff in urban and other environments. Some use cases include: determining efficacy/runoff mitigation potential, estimating annual runoff amounts, creating customized reports with EPA tools and resources, screening the cost-efficacy and sustainability of combined gray and green strategies, predicting hydraulic and water quality performance, and life cycle cost assessment.
