Hydroinformatics systems are systems that combine computational
hydraulic modelling with information systems (including knowledge-based
systems). They are gaining rapid acceptance in the areas of
environmental planning, design and management. The present book focuses
exclusively on sewage systems, starting with their planning and then
going on to discuss their design, operation and rehabilitation.
The very experienced authors discuss business and information needs in
the management of urban drainage, tools for collecting and archiving
such data, and their use in modelling catchment hydrology, sewer systems
hydraulics, wastewater quality, wastewater treatment plant operation,
and receiving waters. The control and operation of sewer systems in real
time is described, followed by a discussion of their maintenance and
rehabilitation. Intelligent decision support systems for managing the
urban drainage business process are presented.
Audience: Researchers into sewer design, municipal engineers, planners
and managers interested in an innovative approach to all aspects of the
planning, design and operation of sewer systems
