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 MSc students
preparing for a final thesis in the area and 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.

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

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.
