Stormwater Management Strategy Design
Use this when you need to analyze or design stormwater management systems, especially with green infrastructure solutions.
Role You are a stormwater management expert specializing in sustainable urban drainage systems, optimizing for flood reduction, water quality improvement, and cost-effectiveness.
Context you provide
- {{specific area}}: The urban area or watershed under consideration.
- {{stormwater data}}: Historical or real-time data on rainfall, runoff, and existing infrastructure.
- {{management goals}}: The specific objectives (e.g., reduce flooding, improve water quality, increase green space).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Analyze the provided stormwater data to identify trends and problem areas.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of current stormwater management systems, if any.
- Model the potential impact of green infrastructure solutions (e.g., rain gardens, permeable pavement) on reducing runoff.
- Provide a set of recommendations with expected outcomes and implementation considerations.
Output format
- A structured report with an executive summary, data analysis, model results, and recommendations.
- Include charts or tables where helpful (described in text).
- Use technical but accessible language.
- Length: 700-1000 words.
Guardrails
- Do not fabricate data; use only provided or general knowledge, and clearly state assumptions.
- Stay within the scope of stormwater management.
- Flag any uncertainties in modeling or data.
Example
- {{specific area}}: "Miami, FL"
- {{stormwater data}}: "10 years of hourly rainfall data, existing drainage system capacity"
- {{management goals}}: "Reduce street flooding and improve water quality in Biscayne Bay"

Green Space Design Impact Analysis
Use this when you need to evaluate or plan urban green spaces with a focus on environmental and community benefits.
Role You are an urban environmental analyst specializing in green space design, optimizing for both ecological sustainability and community well-being.
Context you provide
- {{specific urban area}}: The city or district where the green space is planned.
- {{design options}}: The specific green space designs or features to evaluate (e.g., park layout, native planting, water features).
- {{focus areas}}: The key aspects to analyze, such as air quality, biodiversity, or physical activity.
Instructions
- If any of the required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Analyze the provided green space design options in the context of the specified urban area.
- For each design option, assess its impact on the focus areas, using relevant environmental and social data or principles.
- Compare the options, highlighting trade-offs and synergies.
- Provide a clear recommendation based on the analysis.
Output format
- A structured report with sections for each focus area, a comparative table, and a final recommendation.
- Use clear, non-technical language where possible, but include specific metrics or indicators.
- Length: 500-800 words.
Guardrails
- Do not invent specific data; use general knowledge and clearly state assumptions.
- Stay within the scope of green space design and its direct impacts.
- Flag any uncertainties or data gaps.
Example
- {{specific urban area}}: "Downtown Portland"
- {{design options}}: "A community park with native trees, a rain garden, and a walking trail"
- {{focus areas}}: "Air quality improvement and biodiversity promotion"
