Integrated urban water management
Products of knowledge

What is it?
A refresher course from PAO.
What can we use this for?
To teach the course participants:
• To differentiate between system choices in urban water management.
• The design and implementation of infiltration facilities.
• Practical experience of preparation for construction and residential living.
• To distinguish between the responsibilities and roles of parties involved in water management and construction preparation.
• To improve the preparation of areas for construction and residential living with a high quality result, on sites with a poor subsoil.
Who will be interested?
Those preparing construction work, project leaders, project managers for municipalities, project developers, building contractors, employees from water boards and from municipal engineering and engineering consultants.

What is it?
A new model for investigating the effects, probabilities, and risks of drinking water collection in urban areas.
What can we use this for?
To improve appraisal of the effects, probabilities, and risks of drinking water collection in urban areas. To make efficient prognoses of the base water quality. To rapidly analyse the relationship between soil use, subsoil and groundwater quality. To use a risk management model for linking urban water issues with water collection.
Who will be interested?
Urban water managers, drinking water engineers, municipal engineers, engineers, scientists.

What is it?
Research into the effect of reduced groundwater extraction (DSM Gist factory)
What can we use this for?
We are aware of the effects of discontinuing groundwater extraction at DSM Delft. Can directions for sustainable solution be mapped out for water management in Delft and its surroundings? We have a monitoring strategy for rises in groundwater, water quality, and geotechnology. We now know that the effect of halting groundwater extraction is substantial. On 23 June 2009, an agreement was signed between the managers of the involved authorities and DSM. This states:
• The authorities take over ownership of the groundwater extraction installation and DMS Gist will continue to operate the installation for the next five years.
• Solutions are being sought for the surplus water, such as cold-heat capacity or desalination as a use of the process water.
Who will be interested?
Municipalities, water boards, industry.

What is it?
Book containing experiences from the field, focused on increasing awareness of the urban groundwater system.
What can we use this for?
Area managers can draw upon the positive experiences of others to cultivate awareness in their area. Information is given about ten successful field cases. It is clear that the importance of the geohydrological situation is underestimated, the human factor is increasingly decisive. The conclusion can be made that a great deal (but not everything) is technically possible when it comes to urban groundwater management.
Who will be interested?
Area managers, water boards.

What is it?
The improvement of existing modelling tools (Sobek and Modflow) and Internet database via Hydrologic (Hydronet Urban).
What can we use this for?
To view and import online rainfall data in the modelling tools via KNMI data per m2 per municipality. In doing so, we can optimise the urban water system by linking sewerage, water purification and surface water with this rainfall data. We are now able to include up-to-date rainfall information as part of this balance. Knowledge that is gained will be incorporated in the PAO course ‘Rainfall radar: the end of the rain gauge?’
Who will be interested?
Municipalities, urban water managers.

What is it?
A model that is able to integrate all urban water flows. It concerns the water quantity, the water quality will follow.
What can we use this for?
Regardless of the question, the flexible model set-up enables us to select the scale of the model and the most suitable description of the relevant water flows.
Who will be interested?
Urban water managers, municipal engineers, engineers.

What is it?
A method to maintain the groundwater levels in an area within certain margins.
What can we use this for?
This method can be used to manage drainage that is controlled by the groundwater levels, so that the groundwater levels do not become not too high or too low. Vulnerable areas can then be protected, for example areas with wooden piles that may rot if groundwater levels fall too sharply.
Who will be interested?
Area managers, water boards, municipalities.

What is it?
A refresher course from PAO.
What can we use this for?
To teach the course participants:
• How to deal with groundwater problems and drainage.
• How to set up a groundwater report.
• How to design an integrated drainage system.
• How drainage responsibilities can be determined.
• How to design and manage a groundwater network.
Who will be interested?
Municipal employees, project developers, water boards, municipal engineers and engineering consultancies involved with drainage and groundwater management in a built-up area.
