The D4Runoff project

Urban water runoff plays a role in the deterioration of the quality of surface water, so finding ways to prevent and manage diffuse pollution is key.

D4RUNOFF overall goal is to create create a new framework for prevention and management through the data-driven design of hybrid nature-based solutions for current and future risk scenarios. Its approach will benefit urban planners, water utilities and policy makers. By defining urban runoff and stormwater management plans, the project will help optimise the quality of water that flows into bodies of water.

(Consult the D4Runoff official website for more information about the project)

The PoMM in the AI-Assisted urban runoff management platform

This documentation is provided by KlinK within the scope of the D4Runoff project and is intended to help D4R partners and users in the use and improvement of the policy making module PoMM.

If you already know what to do, you can access the [Policy Making Module PoMM].

Otherwise, please keep on reading.

The knowledge base and user's documentation is organized in the following sections.

PoMM Documentation

PoMM User's Manual

For those short of time, the Five Minutes Guide to the PoMM offers a quick-start tutorial and essential instructions to help users navigate and utilize the k-SDSS.

If you are planning to get the most out of the PoMM, the PoMM User's Manual contains detailed information on the PoMM approach, its application, and best practice. Following this guidance you will understand and successfully utilise the system.

More about the PoMM and D4Runoff

This chapter offers an overview of the D4RUNOFF project and the role of the decision support platform within it.

Getting Started

This chapter briefly describes the steps to start using PoMM.

Features Overview

This chapter outline the PoMM core functionalities, highlight how the system may aid policymakers by providing exploratory insights, how it may help to streamlining CEC-NBS decision-making, and how the system may enhance collaboration.

Workflow of a PoM experiment

This chapter covers essential workflows options when setting-up and interpretating CEC-NBS experiments related to policy analysis and decision-making.

The Case Study Lab

The Case Study Lab is where the main experimentation processs takes place. This chapter provides a guide on how to set-up and make experiments effectively. It serves as a practical manual for users, equipping them with the necessary tools to configure, document, and execute PoM experiments to support interventions on policy making efficiently.

Modelling and Simulation with Agents (ABM)

This chapter provides a guide on how to set-up and make PoM experiments based on Agent Based Modelling and simulation (ABM) effectively. The ABM component of the PoMM D4RUNOFF aims to help the assessment of viability and sustainability of policy changes (related to NBS and CECs) through scenario generation. Though it is part of the Case Study Lab, the ABM simulator is used at a later stage, when potential interventions have already been chosen and you want to explore scenarios of their acceptability.

Thesaurus and Controlled Vocabulary (TheVoc)

This chapter describes how to use the Thesaurus and Vocabulary tool within the PoMM. The PoMM Controlled Vocabulary facilitates the retrieval sharing of agreed meanings across the project's disciplines by ensuring consistent terminology, reducing ambiguity, and enabling effective communication and interoperability between diverse stakeholders. Thanks to the Thesaurus, terms are then organised in a structured list of related terms showing synonyms, hierarchies, and associations.

Help

This section is intended as quick help when working with the PoMM Lab application, from where help requests link here. Content regards the functions New Session, Restore Session, working with Process Templates, Thesaurus & Vocabulary, Ontology Viewer and Agents Simulation.

FAQ

Here PoMM Users find a collection of common questions and answers about a specific topics, designed to provide quick and helpful information.

Tutorials

This section contains step-by-step instructional guides designed to explain PoMM tasks, concepts and processes through structured explanations and examples.
