Driving Forces In The Long Range Development Of Wastewater Treatment Plants, Damian Dominguez, Bernhard Truffer, Willi Gujer Jul 2006

Driving Forces In The Long Range Development Of Wastewater Treatment Plants, Damian Dominguez, Bernhard Truffer, Willi Gujer

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are planned and designed for a lifespan of 25 to 40years. The catchment area, discharge requirements, available technology, institutional conditions, operationalprocedures etc. of these plants may change drastically over this long time period. In the private sector suchdynamic development would possibly be considered in the planning and design phase based on a scenarioanalysis. However, conducting a scenario process requires knowledge about the driving forces of thisdynamic, which at the moment is very limited in the field of urban drainage. In this paper we take a first stepin closing this gap. In a case study we analyzed …
