Abstract
The Wupper-River Authority owns and operates several sewage treatment plants and reservoirs within the Wupper-River Basin. Although 19 treatment plants have been built, the water quality at a control gage in the city of Wuppertal is very low (3). In order to improve the river water quality, dilution of treated waste waters is necessary. For the purpose of providing such dilution, as low-flow augmentation, the authority operates four reservoirs in parallel and is building a new one in series.
