Evaluation Grid

Description of the tool

This tool is case specific and has been elaborated by the Water direction of the Greater Lyon. During urban project (rehabilitation of old district or urban extension), after having described and defined their objectives in terms of sustainable water management, the Water Direction of the Greater Lyon has to choose between different alternatives. They want that the solution adopted can be the more sustainable as possible, and also to be able to justify a solution according to sustainable criteria.

That's why they have decided to elaborate their own evaluation grid, adapted to their context and skills. The grid presented below has been developed during studies of water management of the urban project "Lyon- confluence".

The assessed criteria are: social, environmental, economical and governance:
• Limitation of nuisance (noise, odours) and intervention frequency
• Reduction of work hardness,
• Protection against flooding,
• Limitation of natural resources consumption (water, energy),
• Limitation of impacts on natural environment,
• Limitation of waste production,
• Limitation of investment cost,
• Limitations of operation cost,
• Possibility for the solution to be modified as the project advances,
• Clearness of the presentation of the project - understandable by non-scientific public,
• Integration of works in the city, adaptation to future uses,
• Integration of the water cycle in urban planning.

For each solution, a mark is given for each criterion:
• 1 if the criterion is taken into account in the solution,
• -1 if the criterion is not taken into account in the solution,
• 0 if there is no incidence.

The solution which obtains the best total mark is supposed to best respond to sustainable development criteria.
