Abstract: The recently revised European Urban Wastewater Directive 91/271/EEC has prompted a shift in urban stormwater management across Europe. The directive emphasizes the importance of improving stormwater monitoring to prevent urban water quality degradation. Larger organizations with more resources are increasing their stormwater monitoring capabilities. However, there is concern that smaller utilities might lack these resources. A methodology was developed to evaluate stormwater managers’ ability to implement continuous stormwater monitoring solutions. The proposed framework was developed based on a literature review, and it considers environmental, technical, financial, and human resource factors. This proposed framework represents the first step towards putting data-driven urban stormwater management into practice.
