These tools help assess the effect of land use scenarios and urban stormwater practices on different objectives of water balance, stream erosion, water quality , temperature, baseflow, flooding, fisheries, aquatic life.

They may assist in choosing preferred strategies based on public acceptance, cost, technical feasibility, ability to meet goals and objectives, potential to enhance environmental impact of strategy on future land uses.

===Macroeconomic study===
This project (due 2020) will develop, test and deliver a first-ever methodology and model employing an "Equitable Responsibility" approach for transformational stormwater design. The user-driven model will enable detailed analysis and cross-analysis of multiple parameters for stormwater management (SWM), hydrologic function and cost-benefit comparisons applying scale and infrastructure aggregation, integration and distribution, and climate change scenarios to achieve optimal system performance for mitigation of risks (e.g., flooding, drought, erosion, source water contamination, etc) associated increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather. The methodology and model will also provide for the development of a municipal-cost sharing or equitable responsibility mechanism for drainage basin-scale (and larger scale) SWM systems.
