This research aimed to identify a tool to objectively analyse the performance and the environmental contextualisation of sewer systems (SwSs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This procedure performs assessment by calculating performance indices which could be subsequently applied to SwSs and WWTPs with different characteristics. The proposed tool can be applied conveniently over the years by managers of integrated urban water management systems for the analysis of different realities also allowing the evaluation of the effects of upgrades carried out during the management phases. The proposed analysis allows the optimisation of SwSs and can profitably guide the choice and the priority among possible interventions for the sewerage infrastructure and WWTPs providing a verification and evaluation protocol as well as a financial planning tool.
本研究旨在确定一种工具，以客观分析下水道系统（SwSs）和废水处理厂（WWTPs）的性能和环境背景。该程序通过计算性能指标来进行评估，这些指标随后可应用于具有不同特征的 SwSs 和 WWTPs。该工具可由综合城市水资源管理系统的管理者方便地应用于多年，以分析不同的现实情况，同时还可以评估管理阶段进行的升级所带来的影响。所提出的分析允许 SwSs 的优化，并可有利地指导下水道基础设施和 WWTPs 之间可能的干预措施的选择和优先级，提供验证和评估协议以及财务规划工具。
