| Short description: |
This paper presents the water and contaminant daily simulation model of the total
water cycle, called UVQ. The model has been developed to provide a means for rapidly assessing
conventional and non-conventional approaches to providing water supply, stormwater and wastewater
services to urban allotments, neighbourhoods and catchments. The model is placed in the context of
other such models developed internationally through a brief literature review. This is followed by a
description of the model and a case study, which is used to illustrate the utility of the model. UVQ is
an effective tool for assessing the impacts of urban development options on the total water cycle, as
well as the performance of a wide range of non-conventional demand and supply side management
techniques. It compliments other aspects of an environmental assessment of options, along with more
traditional aspects such as infrastructure costing.
