===Integrated water management tool===
Provide an accessible and easy to use design tool that supports land use and site planning decisions by assessing different types, configurations and intensities of green infrastructure at a site or neighbourhood scale. This tool helps to build a strong business case within a sustainability framework (environmental, economic, social) for implementing connected and spatially intensive green infrastructure that can reduce the impacts of stormwater flows (e.g. overland runoff, erosion, and water quality) and provide associated co-benefits to the community. The tool can consider future land use change/ climate change scenarios.
The IWM tool can be used to model and determine GI types, sizing and intensity of application at a site/ neighbourhood level to meet SWM criteria while considering the cost and co-benefits of the design. This tool can be used to determine GI opportunities on priority sites identified by the Risk and Return on Investment Tool.
===Soil risk assessment tool===
The Soil Risk Assessment (SRA) Tool has been created to predict average annual soil loss from areas which have implemented a variety of ESC measures. The SRA tool can be used to assess the efficiency of ESCs on construction sites and to determine areas of high erosion risk.
