Current management of sanitation infrastructures (sewer systems, wastewater treatment plant, receiving water, bypasses, deposits, etc) is not fulfilling the objectives of up to date legislation, to achieve a good ecological and chemical status of water bodies through integrated management. These made it necessary to develop new methodologies that help decision makers to improve the management in order to achieve that status. Decision Support Systems (DSS) based on Multi-Agent System (MAS) paradigm are promising tools to improve the integrated management. When all the different agents involved interact, new important knowledge emerges. This knowledge can be used to build better DSS and improve wastewater infrastructures management achieving the objectives planned by legislation. The paper describes a methodology to acquire this knowledge through a Role Playing Game (RPG). First of all there is an introduction about the wastewater problems, a definition of RPG, and the relation between RPG and MAS. Then it is explained how the RPG was built with two examples of game sessions and results. The paper finishes with a discussion about the uses of this methodology and future work.
当前卫生基础设施（下水道系统、污水处理厂、受纳水体、旁路、沉积物等）的管理未能实现最新法规的目标，即通过综合管理实现水体良好的生态和化学状态。因此，有必要开发新的方法，以帮助决策者改进管理，从而实现这一状态。基于多智能体系统（MAS）范式的决策支持系统（DSS）是改善综合管理的有前景的工具。当所有相关的不同智能体相互作用时，会产生新的重要知识。这些知识可用于构建更好的决策支持系统，并改善废水基础设施管理，以实现法规所规划的目标。本文描述了一种通过角色扮演游戏（RPG）获取此类知识的方法。首先介绍了废水问题、角色扮演游戏的定义以及角色扮演游戏与多智能体系统的关系。然后通过两个游戏环节和结果的示例，解释了如何构建角色扮演游戏。本文最后讨论了该方法的用途和未来工作。
