66 New Conception and <strong>Decision</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Model</strong> for <strong>IUWS</strong><br />

There are totally eight options of collection systems, which are listed and explained in<br />

Table 26. The recommended general priorities of collection systems are set up mainly by<br />

considering the economic, environmental and sanitary aspects. The general decision making<br />

criteria for selecting the proper system types are developed and depicted in Table 27.<br />

Certainly, the criteria in Table 27 are very rough, which are used to orientate the model users<br />

in the early project phase. The detailed design can be achieved by following the professional<br />

manuals and books in the coming project stages.<br />

Table 26: Possible collection systems and their general priorities<br />

no. collection system priority<br />

with two streams<br />

1 COMBINED:<br />

surface runoff<br />

& greywater<br />

+ vacuum system<br />

2 SEPARATE:<br />

a. storm drain<br />

b. sewage sewer<br />

3 COMBINED:<br />

surface runoff<br />

& urban sewage<br />

4 SEPARATE:<br />

a. storm drain<br />

b. greywater sewer<br />

+ vacuum system<br />

with one stream<br />

5 greywater sewer<br />

+ vacuum system<br />

(no storm drain)<br />

6 urban sewage sewer<br />

(no storm drain)<br />

7 only storm drain<br />

(no sewage sewer)<br />

8 non of storm drain<br />

and sewage sewer<br />

conditions and considerations<br />

1 Combined system is more economic.<br />

SSCS is applied for better water reuse and resources<br />

recovery.<br />

Greywater has better hygienic conditions than urban<br />

sewage so it suggests using combined system.<br />

Blackwater system can recover nutrients & energy.<br />

It is most recommended option.<br />

2 It believes that it is more environmental friendly.<br />

Doubled conduit systems make it more expensive.<br />

It requires more underground spaces which can be<br />

critical in urban area.<br />

3 Most existing systems are combined systems.<br />

It is more economical but less environmental friendly.<br />

It has higher environmental risks with the overflow<br />

problems.<br />

4 It is most expensive option, besides doubled conduit<br />

systems, vacuum system is also involved.<br />

It can be the system with higher security and more<br />

environmental friendly.<br />

It has lower priority due to its very high cost.<br />

[1] --<br />

[1] no priority, as they are the special situations.<br />

Storm drain is unnecessary based on the actual<br />

conditions (criteria in Table 27).<br />

SSCS is applied for better water reuse and resources<br />

recovery.<br />

[1] -- It is the conventional sewerage system, where storm<br />

drain is unnecessary.<br />

[1] -- Sewage sewer is no need, as the sewage or greywater<br />

and blackwater has/have been already disposed or<br />

reused in inferior water entities.<br />

[1] -- Both storm drain and sewage sewer are unnecessary in<br />

the conditions that are described above.
