Efficient Integrated Real-time Control in Urban Drainage and Wastewater Treatment Plants for Environmental Protection (LIFE EFFIDRAIN)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 29 mars 2019,
Background
Combined Urban Drainage Networks (UDNs) collect and convey both wastewater and storm water. This mixed water is sent to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) before being released to the environment. During heavy-rain events, UDN and WWTP capacities can be easily exceeded, causing untreated water discharges, known as combined sewer overflows (CSO ...
