Integrating hydraulic modelling and GIS for wastewater systems management: a case study

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The increasing costs related to operation and maintenance of urban wastewater systems has led to a special attention of utilities in promoting studies to address the key problem of water infiltration, inflow and improper connections entering the separate drainage networks. This is a common and hard to predict operational situation that needs to be identified and minimized as it negatively affects the managerial conditions of the network and the downstream wastewater treatment plant efficiency. The implementation of mathematical models for determining the hydrodynamics behaviour of dry weather and wet weather flows in sewers appears to be a sound methodology to identify the causes for those adverse management conditions. This methodology was applied in a small urban wastewater network of the city of Braga (Portugal). The free user program USEPA SWMM was applied with the integration of GIS information related to the wastewater collection system.
