Sewer and storm water systems in cities worldwide suffer from insufficient capacity, construction failures and pipe deterioration. The consequences are structural damage and local floods leading to inflow of water into basements, traffic disturbances, street and surface erosion, and pollution of local receiving waters. CARE-S is a computer based system developed to meet this challenge. It is designed for sewer and storm water network rehabilitation planning. It provides fundamental instruments for estimating the current and future condition of sewer networks, i.e. performance indicators, selecting and ranking of rehabilitation projects and long-term investment needs. The procedure for selection and ranking of projects is supported by tools for analysis of structural failures and hydraulic performance. Socio-economic issues are also included in the priority ranking process of CARE-S.
