34 New Conception and <strong>Decision</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Model</strong> for <strong>IUWS</strong><br />
The possible system options are listed in Table 9. Six inflow possibilities multiplying three<br />
outflow possibilities and subtracting two unrealistic conditions generate eighteen system<br />
options in total. In reality, sixteen options are not possible at the same time because the<br />
boundary conditions screen out the improper options. Detailed system options in <strong>IUWS</strong> and<br />
selection rules are given in § 3.3.2.<br />

2.2.4 Used water management<br />
[1] dual<br />
The term of used water substitutes for wastewater as the water does not turn to the<br />
waste after use. Besides the conventional dealing method, the used water can/shall be<br />
properly utilised.<br />

Sewage disposal. Conventionally, all types of urban sewage are gathered together by<br />
sewer, treated in WWTP, and then both clarified water and generated sludge are often<br />
dumped back to the nature. Though this type of system is simple, but the potential of used<br />
water is not recognised and realised. As the centralised system, the large sewer system<br />
associated with lift stations is necessary. From today’s point of view, it is not the sustainable<br />
solution, which is neither environment friendly, nor economically rational. The new concepts<br />
and alternatives consequently emerged.<br />
As a quite broad concept, the water reuse in modern cities is being trialled for decades.<br />
The water reuse systems can be classified into many different manners. In this conception,<br />
two ways to reuse water are identified: direct non-potable reuse and indirect potable reuse.<br />
Direct non-potable reuse. It is defined as pipe-to-pipe to reuse the reclaimed water for<br />
non-drinking purposes. There are two cases of direct non-potable water reuse. Firstly, the<br />
reclaimed water is supplied to the same end-user again. In the case of localised reuse, it<br />
needs distribution system on the small scale but more often requires sophisticated treatment<br />
process. For example, the treated domestic sewage is supplied to residents for non-drinking<br />
uses. Secondly, taking advantage of different end uses that require different water qualities,<br />
water is used more than one times. For example, the lightly treated greywater is used to
