Being of the water usage side, two aspects need to be satisfied, i.e. water quantity and<br />

quality. In order to fit the hierarchy of the <strong>IUWS</strong>, as well as fulfil the requirements of <strong>IUWS</strong>,<br />

the new system for water usage management is constructed based on the coordination<br />

between quantity and quality.<br />

2.2.1.1 water end-user<br />

In this conception, the water end-users are identified as grouped water consumers, which<br />

cover certain area and have different kinds of water end uses with different desired water<br />

qualities. These grouped end-users are the basic functional units in cities. Typical examples<br />

are university, hospital, school, shopping centre, etc. This categorisation provides chance to<br />

balance the water consumption inside groups and subsequently, promotes more system<br />

options in a small scale.<br />

As one of the most important conception in <strong>IUWS</strong>, these kinds of grouped water endusers<br />

are specially corresponding to the WUU and WUC that are particularly constructed for
