Urban drainage systems have an important role in the planning and development of cities, they allow a good management of the wastewater flow, and their study is important to understand the physicochemical characteristics of water and the relationships between the maximum flows and means of each system. This is a review of wastewater monitoring and their applications, which is done through the consultation of databases and other documentary sources of free access like scientific journals. The research strategy was based on 3 thematic axes that were: monitoring of wastewater, obtaining parameters of the system and network management. We reviewed 69 references of different countries around the world countries and we focused in the methodologies used in each study case. In conclusion, we highlight the importance of implementation of measure instruments, monitoring and control systems.

Abstract Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) gatherer effective strategies and control systems for stormwater management especially in highly urbanized areas characterized by large impervious surfaces that increase runoff peak flow and volume. The main goal is to restore the natural water balance by increasing infiltration, evapotranspiration and promoting rainwater reuse. This paper proposes an analytical probabilistic approach for the modelling SuDS applicable to different structures and goals. Developed equations allow to estimate the probability of overflow and the probability of pre-filling at the end of dry periods, to evaluate the efficiency of the storage in rainwater management and its ability to empty between consecutive events. A great advantage of the proposed method is that it allows to consider a chain of rainfall events; this aspect is particularly important for control systems SuDS characterized by low outflow rates which storage capacity is often not completely available at the end of a dry period because pre-filled by previous events. Suggested formulas were tested to two cases studies in Milan and Genoa, Italy.

The European research project in the EUREKA framework, RisUrSim is presented with its overall objective to develop an integrated planning tool to allow cost effective management for urban drainage systems. The project consortium consisted of industrial mathematics and water engineering research institutes, municipal drainage works as well as an insurance company. The paper relates to the regulatory background of European Standard EN 752 and the need of a more detailed methodology to simulate urban flooding. The analysis of urban flooding caused by surcharged sewers in urban drainage systems leads to the necessity of a dual drainage modeling. A detailed dual drainage simulation model is described based upon hydraulic flow routing procedures for surface flow and pipe flow. Special consideration is given to the interaction between surface and sewer flow during surcharge conditions in order to most accurately compute water levels above ground as a basis for further assessments of possible damage costs. The model application is presented for a small case study in terms of data needs, model verification and first simulation results.
