Decision making process
Name of the case study
Porte des Alpes storm water management.
Decision making process - stages
Before taking any decision, several studies were conducted to determine the best project: Steering the stream of storm water to the pre-existing network would have been too expensive. One alternative solution was available, and it was validated by water policy, to provide new drainage and retention facilities for storm water run-off.
The choice and design of the retention and infiltration systems was made at the very beginning of the urban project.
Throughout the project, there was strong coordination between the different services, and all the teams worked together. Contrary to traditional practices, it was not a sequential work.
Decision making process - levels

Decision making process - sources of information
Decision making process - who are the decision makers

Decision making process - who made the final decision for project implementation
Name of tool
Charters and coordination to manage multipurpose facilities
Decision making process - tools in decision-making process
Some quantitative goals or benchmarks have been defined:
A discharge procedure is defined according to national regulation background (Water Law, 1992) imposing an authorization demand for any effluent discharge. The water policy watches over the application of this law.
There are no national groundwater conservation norms, but the discharge consent decree from water policy. These indicators were created by the water policy for this specific site (lakes and groundwater) to develop and monitor water management.

Decision making process - how was the information for the dmp disseminated
Decision making process - how was the public involved
Public involvement in the project design came only in the form of public inquiries.
Public inquiries to the users of public spaces (people working in the area, visitors, associations, neighbouring cities…) are done to evaluate their satisfaction, in order to improve service offers.
Decision making process - was there public discussion over the project
There was no public discussion involved in the project.
What tools were used to assess sustainability?
Charters and coordination to manage multipurpose facilities
