The urban wastewater system (sewer and treatment plant) has a major impact on the river water quality of urban streams. To minimise this impact, real time control is a valuable option. Since the ultimate goal of any control strategy is to optimise the quality of the river system, it is useful to take pollutant immissions into account when determining the control strategy and/or the setpoints of the controller. However, a simultaneously simulating model of the complete system is needed in order to allow design and evaluation of such control strategies. In this work an integrated model of the urban wastewater system is created. This has been accomplished by implementing surrogate models of the three subsystems within a single software platform. The coupled submodels are subsequently used in a semi-hypothetical case study to optimise the resulting river water quality. An ammonia sensor in the river has been used to control the amount of water treated biologically in the treatment plant. It was shown that this integrated control could lower the peak ammonia concentration in the part of the river downstream of the treatment plant. Hence, a proof of principle has been given that the use of measurements in the river to perform control actions in the sewer system and the treatment plant is a promising option.

As the population grows in big cities and watersheds, it will significantly impact river waters. One of the settlements located on the banks of the river Winongo is Ngampil village, Ngampil sub-district, Yogyakarta City. According to data from the Yogyakarta City Central Statistics Agency, the population of the Ngampil sub-district increased in 2018 to 18,591 inhabitants, from 2016 with 10,540 inhabitants, the Winongo River is used by the Ngampil residents for fish farming by making cages and also residents who use the Winongo River for activities environmental conservation. One effort to control water pollution is to monitor water quality consistently. The problem in this research is the absence of tools to monitor river water quality. Therefore, it is necessary to design an efficient monitoring tool to read water quality with a ph indicator in real-time using the hovercraft method through the internet of things method. Utilizing this robot boat tool can monitor river water quality using an automatic drive system and display the river water's pH indicator on the website. This research showed river water quality at 6:00 in the morning with a pH value of water 6.81 information Poor / Contaminated by Weight, daytime at 12.00 with a pH value of water 6.77 information Poor / Contaminated by Weight, and afternoon at 18.00 with a water ph value of 6.66 information Poor / Severely polluted.

Abstract: One of the major problems in India is surface water pollution that is in Rivers. For the purpose of drinking, agriculture requirements and for industrial usage, an adequate amount of water quality has to be made sure and for maintaining the balance in aquaculture, water quality has to be monitored in real time. Deteriorated quality of water affects all well living beings. Traditional River water quality monitoring involves grab sampling, testing and analysis which is time consuming. In this project, determined attempts are made to design an economical system for real time monitoring of river water quality. Different physical and chemical parameters of the water are monitored using various water measuring sensor. The parameters such as temperature, hardness, dissolved oxygen; pH, turbidity and flow can be measured through sensors. The system can be enforced with Arduino model as a core controller. WI-FI module, Internet of things and GSM board can be used effectively to monitor the water quality and thereby relevant impacts for using river water safely. Keywords: 1. IOT, 2. GSM, 3. Sensors, 4.

Real time control is one of the possibilities to minimise the impact of the integrated urban wastewater system (sewer system and treatment plant) on the receiving water quality. Integrated control uses information about the river state to act in the sewer system or in treatment plant. In order to test and tune these integrated controllers, a simplified integrated model is needed. Even with these simplified models, the simulation times may be too long and further model reduction is needed. In this paper, dependency-structure based model reduction is proposed as a technique to further reduce model complexity. Three steps are proposed: relocation of the upstream system boundaries to just upstream of the first control point, relocation of the downstream boundaries to just downstream of the last measurement point, and third, a further model simplification based on an analysis of the sensitivity of the control actions on submodel elimination. The effect of applying the different reduction approaches on the control strategy and on the resulting river water quality is discussed on the basis of a case study of the catchment of Tielt.
