The Water Cycle Modelling And Assessment Solutions Toolkit - Final Release (D3.5)

WP3 aims to develop and deploy a series of water-smart applications, to be demonstrated at six Living Labs (LLs). The different solutions developed and demonstrated in T3.2-T3.7 are conceptually assembled into 2 coherent toolkits, a) the monitoring, negotiation, and decision support solutions toolkit and b) the water cycle modeling and assessment solutions toolkit. The current report documents the final release of the water cycle modeling and assessment solutions toolkit, which is comprised of the following eight tools: UWOT #22, regional demand-supply matching GIS tool #23, reclaimed water distribution network water quality model #24, water-energy-phosphorous balance planning module #25, QMRA+ #26, risk assessment for urban water reuse module #27, short-term demand forecasting tool #28 and SuTRa #31 and complements the other toolkit. The final release of the toolkit aims at updating the readers about the latest developments of tools focusing on tool description, attributes and information around pre-existing background, developments and advancements within the project, navigation and primary functionalities, interoperability, indicative applications and synergistic benefits and how to access each tool and test data. Additionally, D3.5 dives deeper into the application of tools to the LLs by introducing initially the water-smartness challenges and ambition of the LLs, presenting the selected technologies and products, and explaining the integrative use, conceptual links, data flows, and pilot interactions. Further, it describes the pre-processing stage and setup process before documenting the results and lessons learned from tools and technologies’ application to the LLs. Building on results from the cases, the toolkit attempts to provide a more holistic and complementary picture of how water-smartness can be enhanced while highlighting the complementarity and replicability aspects of tools.
