Abstract

It is recognised that planning, design and operation of urban water systems constitutes a complex task. Even when only the wastewater part of the urban water system is considered, the management of this system remains a challenging task. In the past and, in many instances still today, sewer system, wastewater treatment plant and receiving water bodies -as the main constituent subsystems of the urban wastewater system (UWWS) — are considered often only as separate entities with little or no interaction. In order to support the tasks of planning, design and operation of wastewater systems and to achieve the objectives, such as the protection of health, mitigation of floods, prevention of pollution and reduction of costs to name but a few, simulation models have been developed over the years. In particular, since the advent of easily accessible computing capacity, computer models have been increasingly used in research and practice.
