Hjælpemidler:	Alle hjælpemidler er tilladt : Evaluation of written report and active participation during the course.
Bedømmelsesform:	bestået/ikke bestået , intern bedømmelse
Anbefalede forudsætninger:	You should be familiar with the basics of hydrology and/or urban drainage, and with wastewater treatment and receiving water pollution from your previous education to follow this course. You should furthermore have some experience with computer simulations, spreadsheets and use of the Internet. We use the WEST® software for simulations; prior experience is not a requirement but you must then be eager to learn using WEST
Deltagerbegrænsning:	Minimum 6 Maksimum: 12

Overordnede kursusmål:

The course introduces a newly developed state-of-the-art tool for integrated modelling of urban drainage, wastewater treatment and receiving water systems. Students will learn using this tool to perform integrated systems analysis through a number of simulation exercises based on the WEST® software.
The course is targeted for PhD students and researchers focused on modelling the elements of integrated urban drainage-wastewater systems (drainage network, wastewater treatment plants, receiving water bodies). Applications are also welcomed from experts from industry.

Læringsmål:

En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:

Describe the operational interactions between the three components in the integrated urban (waste) water system: the urban drainage system, the wastewater treatment plant and the receiving waters.
Understand the main assumptions and simplifications made in lumped conceptual modelling of integrated urban drainage-wastewater treatment systems.
Use and run a professional integrated model programmed in WEST® for simulation of pollution loads, receiving water effects and mitigation option’s efficiency.
Apply the integrated model to understand identify the main environmental problems in a defined model area.
Assess the impacts of changing components in the integrated system and use this to develop and test possible mitigation strategies using the integrated model.

Kursusindhold:

Introduction to integrated modelling concepts. Conceptual hydraulic modelling. Conceptual modelling of transport and fate of macropollutants (TSS, nutrients) and micropollutants. Utilization of the WEST® Integrated Urban Wastewater System model library. Application of integrated models for fulfilling the EU Water Framework Directive. How to find the compromise between data requirements and actual data availability. Use of integrated models for decision support and scenario evaluation. Evaluation of the effects of climate change. Brief overview of approaches for evaluating uncertainty in model results. Brief overview of water-quality based approaches to real time control of urban drainage and wastewater systems.

Litteraturhenvisninger:

Scientific literature and user manuals will be made available using the Coursera e-learning platform.

Bemærkninger:

Parts of this Ph.D. course were previously included in the course (“12904 Xenobiotics in the urban water cycle”), which corresponded to 5 ECTS credits of work load. This new course is a condensed version focusing only on the modelling part of the previous course but introducing a new modelling tool, and corresponds only to 2.5 ECTS points.
