The incorporation of sustainability assessment into decision-making processes is a key task for water service providers in the UK and elsewhere. This paper describes development application set criteria, which have been developed tested with project partners Romania. They will be used 'guidebook' that out framework to facilitate inclusion process. work part Sustainable Water Industry Asset Resource Decisions develop multi-criteria analysis decision support system assist assess relative...
Phosphorus is an element essential for life. Concerns regarding long-term security of supply and issues related to eutrophication surface waters once released into the aquatic environment have led governments consider apply measures reducing use discharge phosphorus. Examples source control include legislation reduce phosphorus in domestic detergents. This research shows that other sources also contribute significantly load sewer overall, dominate loads sewage treatment works. Estimates...
The paper presents ongoing research to develop a sustainability enhancement framework for the major Dundee Central Waterfront urban re-development project. concept recognises need ensure that is considered in decision-making at all stages of projects more sustainable outcome overall. describes set procedures, developed by authors and drawn from IT knowledge management fields, identify appropriate indicators effective incorporation issues throughout project processes. procedures include...
Effective integrated water management is a key component of the World Water Vision and way in which aspirations for equity may be realized. Part vision includes promotion sustainability systems full accountability their interaction with other urban systems. One major problem that "sustainability" remains an elusive concept, although those involved provision wastewater now recognize decisions involving asset investment should use "triple bottom line" approach to society, economy, environment....
The decarbonisation of the energy sector through major renewable developments in rural areas is one requirements for sustainable development and future carbon-neutral societies. However, this has resulted increased construction on peatlands wetlands led to diverse environmental impacts affected areas. overall aim project was review effectiveness standard mitigation measures used during maintain hydrological conditions within peat soils wetland habitats. This work involved a literature...
This paper presents the results of an initial application a prototype simulation and visualisation tool (S-City VT) that was developed to enable all stakeholders, regardless background or experience, understand, interact with influence decisions made on sustainability urban design. The takes unique approach combining three-dimensional (3D) interactive immersive technologies computer modelling present stakeholders virtual development. Use outputs from model 3D development can help...
Water Treatment Residuals (WTRs) are a by-product of the addition chemical coagulants to water during treatment process and mixture organic inorganic matter that coagulates process. WTRs often contain metals such as iron, aluminium, manganese have been oxidised part or constituents coagulation chemicals used. The within interest with regard applying these sludges agricultural land. can also beneficial nutrients (primarily nitrogen). nature benefits delivered is largely dependent on quality...
The need for sustainable development of the urban environment presents research community with a number challenges and opportunities. A considerable volume has been undertaken into constituent parts this complex problem tool kits methodologies have developed to enable encourage application specific aspects in practice. However, there is limited evidence holistic integration body knowledge arising from within real-life decision-making practices. In paper we present an overview existing...
In industrialised countries water service providers (WSPs) must provide an appropriate level of with acceptable performance at cost to customers. the UK a move towards sustainable development is now also major goal for WSPs. However, imposition institutional systems and regulatory targets still encourage adoption less technologies or solutions by industry. It within this context, that Sustainable Water industry Asset Resource Decisions (SWARD) project has developed set decision support...
Effective Integrated Water Management (IWM) is an aspiration for all those engaged in water service provision, and a key component of the World Vision. Part this includes sustainability systems their interaction with other urban systems. In drainage field, there are many examples attempts to establish effective integrated A major problem, however, elusive nature concept how translate what known terms principles objectives into action within IWM perspective.

Sustainable decision making for strategic planning is a challenging process: requiring an understanding of the complex interactions among environmental, economic and social factors. Commonly, such decisions are dominated by factors hence there need framework that supports inclusive throughout all stages urban rural projects. Towards this authors have developed City Visualization Tool (S-CITY VT) which comprises 1) indicators (these provide basis assessment monitoring sustainability) selected...
The search for sustainable ways of living has necessitated a new look at the way in which water services are provided. paradigm includes whole-system perspectives each primary criteria groups: social, environmental and economic. Whilst Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) techniques have been used successfully products, they much less to assess processes. Nonetheless there is learn from use LCA wider range applications. An application described whereby determine energy, mass flows impacts number...
