Explanation: as the exemplar, the table is blank. During the calculation, two tables are generated for<br />

2.3.2 Planning processes<br />

As identified in the beginning, there are two sides of urban water system, i.e. the water<br />

usage side and the water infrastructure side. The water usage side deals with the water<br />

volume, including water demands, used water amounts, and capacity of water sources. The<br />

water infrastructure side includes all structures and facilities, which provide the complete<br />

service to the water end-users. The system planning is therefore implemented on the base of<br />

dealing with these two sides.<br />

In the hierarchy of the <strong>IUWS</strong>, the water entities are embedded, which means they<br />

influence on each other. The influence of water usage is the bottom-up direction, i.e. the<br />

water usage of CA is decided by UD, and it of UD is decided by WUU, and the water usage<br />

of WUU is affected by WUC if it has WUC. Regarding the water infrastructure, the influence<br />

is reversed, as water facilities of WUU rely on UD, and they of UD depend on CA. There are<br />

interactions between water usage side and water infrastructure side, so the iteration is<br />

needed in order to reach the optimised the system options.<br />

Therefore, the planning procedure for <strong>IUWS</strong> starts with the water usage calculation of<br />

WUC, sequentially followed by the water usage of WUU, UD and CA. The available and<br />

possible water sources of each water entity are simultaneously investigated and managed<br />

with the water usage. Because the main water sources (i.e. groundwater and surface water)<br />
