Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Urban Water Management
  • Wastewater Systems

Background:

  • Sewer systems are critical infrastructure, but aging pipes lead to infiltration, impacting performance.
  • Infiltration affects wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) efficiency and receiving water quality.
  • Assessing rehabilitation benefits is crucial for effective urban water management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the benefits of sewer pipe rehabilitation on drainage systems and WWTPs.
  • To evaluate the impact on receiving water quality.
  • To support prioritization of rehabilitation activities in sewer networks.

Main Methods:

  • Statistical analysis of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) data from 470 km of sewers in Dresden.
  • Simulation of infiltration rate reduction based on rehabilitation scenarios.
