Modelling the urban water cycle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current urban water management practices aim to remove stormwater and wastewater efficiently from urban areas. An alternative approach is to consider stormwater and wastewater as a potential resource substitute for a portion of the water imported via the reticulated supply system. A holistic view of urban water resources provides the framework for the evaluation of the demand for water supply, the availability of stormwater and wastewater, and the interactions between them. The water balance model (Aquacycle) developed in this study represents water flows through the urban water supply, stormwater, and wastewater systems. Its daily time step provides temporal distribution of the flows, and enables comparison of the different components of the urban water demand. Aquacycle was tested using data from the Woden Valley urban catchment in Canberra, Australia and found able to satisfactorily replicate its water supply, stormwater and wastewater flows.

This paper addresses the current imperative to develop and test urban ET algorithms, incorporate these into urban water balance models, and develop these into tools to underpin and guide Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and integrated urban water management. Two approaches to modelling the urban water balance focusing specifically on urban evapotranspiration are presented: i) SUES (Single-so...
