Explanation: as the exemplar, the table is blank. During the calculation, two tables are generated for<br />
system cost and energy consumption each.<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 />
