Abstract
This project aims at finding cost-efficient adaptive measures to meet the EU Water Framework Directive goals for the Dommel River (The Netherlands). Both acute and long-term impacts of the urban wastewater system (treatment plant and sewers) on the chemical and ecological quality of the river are studied. An integrated model, which proved to be a powerful tool to analyse the interactions within the integrated urban wastewater system, was used to evaluate several different measures in the urban wastewater system both using the existing as well as new infrastructure and real-time control (RTC) strategies. In this paper, emphasis is put on the results from the latest integrated RTC design and model-based evaluation, and on the first tests on the real system of selected measures, i.e. modified primary treatment, and improved rain buffer tank control and in-stream aeration.
