Objective One of the mayor challenges of man-kind is to protect and provide high quality of water in sufficient quantity at affordable costs. For that, advanced integrated information management can support the water industry in general. emerging markets, new structures in water and wastewater utilities (especially in former East-European countries such as East-Germany, Poland etc.), the needs for sustainable development and advanced information technologies call for new methods and solutions. The project concerns the development and implementation of building blocks for information management of water and wastewater networks with special regard to medium-size systems, consisting of network information system as the data centre, coupled GIS with data base and tools for planning, design, control and maintenance, advanced simulation systems and (multi-criteria) decision support systems. Results will be both, a generalised framework for information management as well as methods and software modules for practical implementation. The practical application will be demonstrated in pilot studies.
