Deliverables

Other (2)

Definition of the risk based DSS architecture

General description of the architecture of the DSS providing the concept for the development of the risk-analysis, organisation of the mapping tool and its integration with other risk-based tools (EWS and WSUD). [UNIVPM], M18 [OTHER], [PU] [from T5.1, Task 5.2, Task 5.3]

Beta version of the risk-based DSS and mapping tool

Description of the initial set-up of the risk-based DSS including preliminary algorithms for QMRA and QCRA analysis and their interconnection with the mapping tool. [UNIVPM], M24 [OTHER], [PU] [from T5.1]

Documents, reports (3)

Field campaigns developed for WATERUN CS until M24

D2.2 will include empirical data collection, institutional documents analysis, historical data, climate projections, legislative framework and water quality sampling campaigns, according to the monitoring protocol set in D2.1 until M24 for the case studies. [AIMEN], M24, [R], [PU] [from T2.2]

Co-creation action plans for Santiago and Aarhus

This D1.1 will contain a detailed description of the stakeholders along UWR management cycles in Aarhus and Santiago, as well as in a general setting, and how the LSB and the ISB were formed. Furthermore, the report will describe the resulting stakeholder participation strategy, indicating who, when, how and for what each key actor should be involved in co-creating the WATERUN tools (for monitoring, modelling, risk management tools, GI and guidance for decision-making). [SEECON], M24, [R], [PU] [from T1.1]

First version of the Dissemination and Communication Plan

First version of the Dissemination and Communication Plan comprising the initial objectives, toolkit and planned activities, identifying audiences and the key message. The envisaged dissemination and communication activities will be based on the draft D&CP indicated in section 2.2.2. [OIEAU], M6 [R], [PU] [from T6.2]

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

WATERUN Website

WATERUN Website will comprise a public site and a private members’ area to ease the collaboration among partners and to share information. Public Deliverables and all information related to WATERUN will be uploaded on the website. To be updated at least every three months [OIEAU], M4, [DEC], [PU] [from T6.2]

Data sets, microdata, etc (1)

Modelling database for Santiago and Aarhus CS

Database consisting of local and freely available (remote sensing) data and information from Santiago, Aarhus and Amman CS (shape files of the cities; historical data on precipitation and UWR quality; high resolution digital elevation model; digital information of the sewer system; existing SW basins and discharge points; environmental/land cover information). The database will be commonly used for the development and application of the WATERUN modelling tools. [UFZ], M10, [DATA], [PU] [from T3.1]

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (1)

Operation of Santiago and Aarhus CS GIO

D4.2 will describe the performance of the GI of both CS including the start-up and steady state operation conditions for Santiago CS and improvements regarding the design and performance of the existing GI in Aarhus CS. The operation will be tested regarding the OLR and HRT of each GI and the performance will be tested based on pollutants removal. [AIMEN], M36 [R], [PU] [from T4.2 and T4.3]
