This paper aims to develop decision-support tools and protocols for use by the Malaysian water industry to assess the relative sustainability of stormwater systems and projects. One of the most essential parts of urban stormwater management (USWM) is the pollution control due to construction, that’s why, the decision-making in any USWM project is especially complex since it involves a large number of stakeholders and large variety of domains of knowledge, i.e. both technical and managerial (planning, assessing, decision-making, etc.). The outputs from this research are represented in a multi-criteria analysis framework so as to aid the decision-makers and stakeholders in the water industry. The development of appropriate and effective tools for decision-making requires an understanding of the environmental and social contexts within which these decisions are made. Socio-political influences and existing organisational structures and formalised frameworks, which define both the stakeholders and how they interact, impose specific processes towards achieving a desired outcome. These requirements for achieving change towards greater sustainability within the water industry necessitate an action research approach to the development of incisive tools and criteria for sustainability which will be useful in formulating the masterplan for drainage.
