→Soil risk assessment tool
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.

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.

Civica has developed the Wetland Water Balance module for VO5 to help modelers complete a feature-based water balance analysis, as may be required to satisfy TRCA's SWM Criteria Document criteria for "water balance for protection of natural features" (Appendix D). The module simulates wetland storage dynamics (hydroperiod) and their response to changes in the catchment parameters relative to a baseline, pre-development condition.
