The D4Runoff project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. Grant agreement 101060638. You may find more information about the project at its official website.

Here you will find an organised collection of knowledge about the PoMM made available to the D4Runoff partners and users.

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.

Overview of the PoMM in D4Runoff

The Policy-Making Module (PoMM) is a component of the AI-assisted platform, which is a deliverable of the D4Runoff project.

About D4Runoff

D4Runoff objective is to help preventing and managing pollution from urban water runoff through the design of data-driven hybrid nature based solutions.

The AI-Assisted Platform is a key element of D4Runoff: its core includes a calculation engine and four decision-making modules:

  • operational and strategic
  • risk assessment
  • policy-making (PoMM)
  • social engagement

The Policy-Making Module

The Policy-Making Module is developed by KlinK

The objective of the Policy-Making Module (PoMM) is to enable users to analyze the impact of changes in the policies related to the adoption of NBS and hybrid NBS for mitigation of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) from urban runoff, hence enabling users on both science and policy sides to devise what changes would be more effective.

In order to link the PoMM to real-world applications, this general objective is grounded into three specific objectives that apply to the D4RUNOFF pilots and the foreseen replication cases.

These specific objectives regard enabling decision makers to explore, in a given context, the best ways

  • to include NBSs among customary or preferred solutions in spatial planning;
  • to include CECs in water monitoring plans;
  • to develop a pilot management plan of CECs from urban runoff that includes hybrid NBS solutions.
The PoMM hinges on three pivots:
  • knowledge representation,
  • mapping the playground of the case under study,
  • analysis of the outcomes of modelling and simulations.

Who is the PoMM intended for

The PoMM is specially conceived for decision-makers and policy-makers who are involved (or might be involved) in the formation of policies and rulemaking about the adoption of hNBS for the mitigation of runoff CECs.

Intended users of the PoMM include

  • Policymakers-rulemakers at town, province, regional level
  • Bureaucratic and administrative agents (includng controlling and permitting bodies)
  • Politicians
  • Planners
  • Scientists

From the PoMM viewpoint, user categories are not linked to the actual role played by a user in real-life (a user can play any any role, real or fictional). Having this in mind, the PoMM is applicable to both actual and potential situations.

Next Step

You may start exploring your PoMM journey from the Getting started section and learning how to map the playground of your case under study, then modelling your policy-making domain, designing your experiments, running simulations and finally analysing of the outcomes of your effort.

Alternatively you may dig in more details about the PoMM tools for knowledge representation, design and theory of operation, hints for advanced use, bibliography and references.

When you're ready, just reach the Case Study Lab and start with modelling and experimenting your policy interventions of interest

  • to include (h)NBSs among the recommended/preferred solutions,
  • to include CECs in monitoring plans
  • to develop a pilot CECs management plan with hybrid NBS solution in your unit of analysis (your experimentation theatre)
