Decision Matrices and their Scoring Systems

Phase 1 and Phase 2 design alternatives were evaluated separately due to the difference in criteria. The decision matrices and their scoring systems used can be seen below for both phases.

Phase 1 Decision Matrix

The table above is the decision matrix used to evaluate the Phase 1 design alternatives. Fill and draw alone came out with the highest score of 2.6, making it the best design for the chosen criteria.

Phase 1 Decision Scoring System

The table below shows the scoring system used to justify the scores given to each design alternative for Phase 1. 

Phase 2 Decision Scoring System

The table below shows the scoring system used to justify the scores given to each design alternative for Phase 2.

Phase 2 Decision Matrix

The table above is the decision matrix used to evaluate the Phase 1 design alternatives. The vertical subsurface flow wetland came out with the highest score of 2.30, making it the best design for the chosen criteria.
