Description:
The project uses real time multi-sensors (rain gauges, flowmeters, turbidity monitors, low cost meteorological radar), modelling activities (rain field forecasts and network modelling) and upgrades to infrastructure (sluice gates, pumping stations, volume rehabilitation, new SCADA system), to achieve the integrated multi-objective management of the drainage system in the urban environment of Genoa. Forecast results were: • Under ordinary conditions, an increased capability for treating first flush flows, controlling the pollution load to treatment plants and, consequently, safeguarding water bodies receiving wastewater; • In emergencies, the now-casting of critical flows and their control (attenuation of flow peaks), through by-passes and temporary storage by water volumes.
