Balancing the contaminant input into urban water resources

摘要: With over 40% of the water supply Western and Eastern Europe coming from urban aquifers, efficient cost-effective management tools for this resource are essential to maintain quality life. However, increasing concerns about environmental impacts projects their economic costs mean that traditional planning concepts, which assume unlimited supplies potable water, must be questioned. This includes source its appropriate use. Urban transport systems provision have been identified as most critical factors determine future cities in century. The objective an interdisciplinary research project presented paper is identify develop technologies integrative processes analytical tools, commercially valuable, scientifically robust improve cost effectiveness services, line with program’s vision ecological sustainability. As part program, a software tool has developed estimate flows contaminant loads within system. presents first modelling results through existing wastewater stormwater systems, discharge point.
