The impact of new developments on river water quality from an integrated system modelling perspective

This paper is an outcome of collaborative work from the EPSRC 'Water Cycle Management for New Developments (WaND)' consortium (GR/S86846/01) and the EU FP7 project 'Integrative Systems and the boundary problem (043199)'. It uses an integrated urban wastewater system modelling and control approach to show for the first time how tightening environmental quality standards (EU Water Framework Directive) could constrain potential urban development. The emerging methodology is being further developed and applied in the context of ‘real time water quality consents’ in an EU Marie Curie Integrated Training Network (SANITAS) with international consultants Atkins (arthur.thornton@atkinsglobal.com).
