Impacto de afluências indevidas no consumo energético em instalações elevatórias em sistemas de drenagem urbana.
As afluências indevidas são identificadas como um dos principais problemas dos sistemas de águas residuais e pluviais, levando a diversos problemas de desempenho dos mesmos, como sejam a ocorrência de inundações, a diminuição da eficiência hidráulica e energética, entre outros. A atuação no controlo de afluências indevidas perspetiva oportunidades de melhoria do desempenho em várias dimensões incluindo a componente de eficiência energética. Neste artigo desenvolve-se esta temática numa perspetiva de avaliação do desempenho de instalações elevatórias (IE) embora considerando o sistema como um todo. A metodologia adotada consiste em efetuar a análise de sensibilidade de um sistema separativo de águas residuais para cenários de ocorrência de afluências indevidas à rede, de modo a avaliar o impacto no consumo de energia e noutras variáveis relevantes do sistema. O caso de estudo utilizado consiste numa adaptação do caso de estudo real correspondente ao sistema de drenagem de águas residuais da Bacia da Venteira, Amadora. A finalidade é aferir uma abordagem para tratar esta temática de modo mais geral com base no caso de estudo referido, de forma a contribuir para a sensibilização para a adoção de metodologias operacionais e de monitorização que permitam ter dados para fazer uma gestão mais racional da energia nestes sistemas. As conclusões são genericamente aplicáveis a qualquer sistema separativo de águas residuais.

Multi-criteria decision analysis in urban water asset management
This paper presents a multi-criteria decision support methodology for selection and prioritization of rehabilitation intervention in urban water infrastructures considering performance, cost and risk and a long-term perspective. This methodology is divided into three main stages: problem identification, structuring and evaluation. Problem structuring, a crucial stage for the outcomes, includes identifying objectives, selecting scenarios within the analysis period, defining problem options and the problematic type. Problem evaluation includes the selection of assessment metrics, selection of the aggregation method, application of the method and sensitivity and robustness analysis and final recommendations. The methodology is applied to a real case study of a water distribution system, being the different stages presented in detail and obtained results discussed.

Multisector Risk Identification to Assess Resilience to Flooding
Climate trends suggest an increase in the frequency of intense rainfall events and the aggravation of existing conditions in terms of flooding in urban areas. In coastal areas, conditions are aggravated by coexistence with coastal overtopping. Flood risk control is complex, and the interdependencies among the services and sectors in urban areas imply the need for adoption of approaches that embrace the interplay between service providers to ensure critical urban functions. Flooding incorporates several hazards. Assessment of resilience to multiple hazards in complex environments benefits from integrated and multi-sectoral approaches. A common constraint resides in the limited data and tools available for undertaking these complex assessments. This paper proposes a risk-based methodology to assess urban areas

Operational performance and cost analysis of PAC/ceramic MF for drinking water production: exploring treatment capacity as a new indicator for performance assessment and optimization.
A powdered activated carbon (PAC)/ceramic microfiltration (MF) pilot was operated (24/7) in a water treatment plant during 18 months, with water from different points of the treatment line (raw, ozonated with recirculated filter-backwash waters, ozonated/pre-coagulated, filtered), the testing including MF and PAC/MF. The optimization of PAC/MF operational performance, including PAC effect analysis and pretreatment required, and a cost analysis are herein presented. A new indicator was developed and explored for performance assessment and optimization, the treatment capacity (TCp), i.e. the design flowrate normalized to membrane area and intake pressure. As expected, a higher TCp was obtained with filtered water. Non-clarified waters required alum-coagulation pretreatment to minimize membrane fouling, and achieved similar TCp results among them. PAC addition (6-24 mg/L) did not promote membrane fouling and had no or a slight positive effect on TCp. TCp integrates all key aspects of process productivity and therefore constitutes a useful indicator to balance flux, energy consumption, backwash frequency and chemical cleaning frequency. The cost functions developed for PAC/MF yielded, for the best operating conditions found for the low-turbidity, low-dissolved organic content waters tested, a total cost of 0.07-0.11

Performance Assessment System for Energy Efficiency in Wastewater Systems
Performance assessment is essential to effectively evaluate and monitor the activity of waterutilities, support decision making, and encourage continuous improvement. Performance assessmentsystems (PAS), covering several service objectives and criteria, have been successfully applied inwater supply and wastewater systems. Tailored approaches focusing on the assessment of the energyuse and efficiency in wastewater systems are still limited. This paper aims at the developmentand demonstration of a comprehensive PAS for energy efficiency, tailored for wastewater systems,incorporating criteria related to energy consumption, operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, andenvironmental impacts, such as untreated discharges and greenhouse gases emissions, among others.Management and control of excessive or undue inflows to these systems is specifically addressed byseveral novel criteria and metrics. The proposed PAS should be adapted by each utility to be alignedwith the objectives of the organisation and with the implemented asset management strategy. Theproposed approach and the resulting consolidated PAS are thoroughly described. Results from theapplication of the PAS to several Portuguese utilities are discussed. This PAS aims at contributing toa reliable and replicable process to assess energy efficiency in wastewater systems and to encouragea more rational energy management.

Performance Assessment System to Wastewater Utilities Strategic Planning
Urban water utilities face growing challenges in compliance with increasingly demanding legislation, tightening budgets, ageing personnel, decreasing infrastructure reliability, increasing operational costs, regulatory pressure, and climate change. Within this context, tracking the alignment of the performance with the mission and strategic objectives of the organization, based on reliable and up-to-date data, is of utmost importance to enable effective and continual improvement management. Organizational performance assessment in the water sector has been a topic of growing attention since the 1990s due to the increase in the role of regulators and tighter legislation. Proactive utilities are incorporating sustainability, resource efficiency, resilience, and continual improvement principles in their practices. Strategic planning provides the road map for management and interconnecting the different areas of the organization. An essential component of strategic management planning is the adoption of a tailored performance assessment system (PAS), allowing a better response to these challenges from the water utility management perspective. This paper presents a novel PAS at the strategic level, which was tested and validated with wastewater utilities, in a co-creation process. The proposed PAS fully adopts the objectives recommended in international standards, with a corresponding set of criteria and metrics, and a validated proposal of reference values for the metrics.

Practical Methodology for Forecasting the Impact of Changes in Influent Loads and Discharge Consents on Average Energy Consumption and Sludge Production by Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment.
This paper proposes a simple and easy-to-use methodology for forecasting the impact of changes in influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) and in the emission limit values (ELVs) of COD and total nitrogen on average energy requirements for aeration and sludge production by activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The methodology is based on mass balances of sludge production and oxygen requirements for carbonaceous material biodegradation and/or nitrification, oxygen transfer and aeration equipment efficiency. Using average values of historical data of regular monitoring (water quality and operating conditions) WWTP-specific equations of oxygen requirements, energy consumption and sludge production are derived as a function of influent COD and influent N-total, which may be used to quantify the impact of influent and ELV changes. The methodology was tested in five extended aeration WWTPs for three scenarios established by the utility. The results show that increasing influent COD, from 900 to 1300 mg/L, for example, significantly increases the energy consumption by 49% and sludge production by 53%. For influent 54

Rehabilitation of an Industrial Water Main Using Multicriteria Decision Analysis
This paper demonstrates the application of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) methodology in a real case study aiming to choose the best rehabilitation intervention of an industrial water main. This methodology is composed of three main stages: problem identification, structuring, and evaluation. Problem structuring, a crucial stage for the outcomes, includes identifying objectives, selecting scenarios within the analysis period, defining problem alternatives, and defining the problematic type. Problem evaluation includes the selection of assessment metrics, selection of the aggregation method, application of the method, and a sensitivity and robustness analysis. Two scenarios, nine assessment metrics, and seven alternatives are established, and two ranking methods (the additive model and ELECTRE III method) are used to compare the alternatives. The results show that the best solution corresponds to building a new pipe and deactivating the existing one, as it significantly reduces the pipe failure risk and O&M costs, whereas the worst solution is always the status quo case, since it is the only alternative that does not improve the system performance, independently of the ranking method and the analyzed scenario.

Sistemas de aproveitamento de águas pluviais em edifícios: aplicação da norma europeia EN 16941-1
O aproveitamento de águas pluviais em usos urbanos diversos tem vindo a ser progressivamente valorizada como resultado de crescente necessidade de conservação da água e da procura de soluções mais sustentáveis na utilização de recursos. Esta prática apresenta diversos benefícios ambientais e económicos, designadamente, evitando a utilização de água para consumo humano em usos não potáveis e reduzindo a produção de escoamentos superficiais. Apesar do consenso existente em termos do reconhecimento do valor associado ao aproveitamento de águas pluviais, diversas barreiras têm limitado a generalização da sua aplicação. A normalização técnica pode desempenhar um papel importante na eliminação de barreiras técnicas à circulação e comércio de produtos e serviços, através da uniformização de procedimentos e critérios. Neste sentido, foi recentemente desenvolvida a norma europeia EN 16941-1:2018 Sistemas de água não potável no local Parte 1: Sistemas de aproveitamento de águas pluviais em edifícios. A presente comunicação apresenta esta norma, focando aspetos gerais de interesse que possam promover a sua utilização por parte do meio técnico nacional.

Systems for the use of rainwater in buildings: the European standard EN 16941-1
Rainwater harvesting is being gradually valued as a result of the increased need for water conservation and the search for more sustainable solutions in the use of resources. This practice has several environmental and economic benefits, namely avoiding the use of drinking water in non-potable uses and reducing the production of stormwater runoff. Despite the existing consensus regarding the acknowledgment of the value associated with the use of rainwater, several barriers have limited the generalization of its application. Technical standardization can play an important role in eliminating technical barriers to the circulation and trade of products and services by unifying procedures and criteria. Standardization is a framework of agreements aiming that the processes associated with the creation of a product or the performance of a service are accomplished within a set of guidelines. Its goal is to voluntary define the level of quality safety that should be recognized and approved in a given field. The European standard EN 16941-1:2018 ""On-site non-potable water systems - Part 1: Systems for the use of rainwater"", published in January 2018, can help to build confidence in the quality and safety of rainwater harvesting. This standard specifies the requirements and gives recommendations for the design, sizing, installation, identification, commissioning and maintenance of rainwater harvesting systems for the use of rainwater on-site as non-potable water. The rainwater harvesting systems are described through four main functional elements: collection, treatment, storage, and distribution. This communication presents the EN 16941-1:2018, focusing on general aspects of interest that may promote its use.

An integrated, smart approach for multi-scale management of urban wastewater systems
Efficient management of complex combined sewer systems requires real-time command and control over the complete water cycle, from the upstream catchment to the receiving waters, including the urban dimension. However, the ability to jointly manage all relevant domains in an entire urban wastewater and stormwater system is often limited by 1) the lack of reliable information across the several relevant compartments, measured or predicted at the adequate time scales, and 2) the lack of comprehensive yet agile decision support tools that cover and predict all relevant controlling processes, from the water dynamics to the water quality descriptor fields. An integrated, smart approach for multi-scale management of urban stormwater and wastewater systems is described here to address this challenge, combining competences in urban hydraulic and water quality engineering, estuarine and coastal regions hydrodynamic and water quality engineering and computer science. This conceptual approach relies on a decision support system (DSS) that combines on-line monitoring with real-time forecasts, allowing for the continuous surveillance from the drainage system to the receiving water bodies and the anticipation of flooding and contamination events. A smart DSS was developed, based on SIEMENS

Approach to assess undue inflows into sewers
Urban water systems performance is essential for responding to challenges in urbanised areas that managers and other actors face today. Undue inflows to sewer and natural drainage systems are widely recognised as a major source of functional and financial problems. These problems identified throughout the world, contribute largely to systems' poor performance. A comprehensive performance-oriented methodology, aligned with the infrastructure asset management approach has been developed, including a specific performance assessment system (PAS), taking into account different decision levels as well as type of inflow, causes, underlying mechanisms and consequences. An overview of the proposed methodology and the specific PAS are presented. Validation and consolidation of the PAS is carried out in the iAFLUI collaborative project. This project involving 13 water utilities, representative of the Portuguese reality, ensures the coherence and feasibility of the methodology as well as the capacitation of the teams of the involved water utilities. Results obtained from the validation and consolidation of the PAS are presented and discussed. These confirmed that the PAS developed allows identifying the main problems and opportunities for improvement related to undue flows.

Assessment of the quality of service provided to users by the water utilities in Portugal: revision of the infrastructure asset knowledge and management index
The Portuguese water and waste services regulation authority (ERSAR) promotes the annual assessment of the quality of service provided to users, which is based on a set of metrics, namely performance indicators and indices. One of the metrics that has been used since 2011 is the infrastructure asset knowledge and management index. Despite its undeniable worth, this index contains some simplifications that must be improved. Therefore, ERSAR and the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC) have revised the index in order to detail the information that water utilities must provide to fulfil all the requirements needed to implement and maintain an infrastructure asset management (IAM) system.This paper aims to present the revised index as an example of a metric that can be used by other regulation authorities or water utilities regarding the assessment of infrastructure asset knowledge, asset management and flow measuring.

Cálculo do valor atual de infraestruturas associadas ao ciclo urbano de água: desafios inerentes e a sua complexidade
O presente estudo tem como objectivo apresentar os principais desafios e lacunas inerentes ao cálculo do valor atual de infraestruturas associadas ao ciclo urbano da água. Esta prática é fundamental para estabelecer prioridades de intervenção no curto prazo e para analisar as diferentes estratégias de reabilitação por forma a garantir a sustentabilidade do serviço no longo prazo. O valor atual das infraestruturas é estimado com base numa metodologia constituída por três etapas: 1) Inspeção e caracterização das infraestruturas existentes; 2) Estimativa do custo de substituição; e 3) Estimativa e análise de sensibilidade do valor atual das infraestruturas. Esta metodologia pressupõe a utilização de diferentes premissas relativas ao cálculo do custo de substituição, à depreciação do respetivo custo e à suposição das vidas úteis adotadas, resultando em implicações e erros inerentes ao cálculo do valor atual. O caso de estudo utilizado consiste num sistema de abastecimento de água de uma entidade gestora do sul de Portugal. Diferentes cenários foram construídos para o cálculo do valor atual das infraestruturas de modo a compreender as implicações das premissas subjacentes. O conhecimento das diferentes premissas que podem ser aplicadas no cálculo do valor atual de infraestruturas, bem como das respetivas implicações e erros inerentes, permite obter um resultado mais semelhante e correto do sistema estudado.

Designing a PAC/NF advanced process for controlling pharmaceutical compounds in reclaimed water
Water scarcity and asymmetric space-time distribution is driving many countries to seek nonconventional water sources. Treated wastewater is an emerging alternative water source but, depending on its use(s), it may require an increased level of water treatment. At the same time, the list of emerging contaminants (ECs), including pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs), of great relevance to the environment and to public health continues to grow. Further, many of these contaminants are partly or strongly resistant to conventional treatment in water and wastewater treatment plants (WTPs and WWTPs). Therefore, advanced treatment processes are being developed or optimised for improved PhC control. Amongst them, hybrid processes of adsorption low pressure membranes are promising for their low risk of oxidation by-product formation and low operating pressures (< 2 bar). The fine powdered activated carbon (PAC), if properly selected for the target contaminants and background water matrix, can effectively adsorb the small dissolved molecules (such as the PhCs) passing through low-pressure membranes, whereas these membranes (usually microfiltration or ultrafiltration membranes and more recently loose nanofiltration membranes) safely retain the PAC particles, turbidity and bacteria. In LIFE aWARE project Innovative hybrid MBR-(PAC-NF) systems to promote Water Reuse", the combination of a membrane bio-reactor (MBR) with PAC / loose Nanofiltration (PAC/NF) is demonstrated at El Prat WWTP (Barcelona, Spain), being LNEC responsible for the PAC/NF design, namely for (i) selecting the PAC suitable for PhC control and (ii) assessing, at laboratory scale, different PAC/NF configurations to select the one to be implemented for demonstration at pilot scale, using a recently developed NF membrane (Pentair HFW 1000). This hollow fibre, hydrophilic polyethersulfone membrane with around 1000 Da cut-off constitutes a safe barrier also against viruses and provides higher retention of high molar mass organics. This paper presents LNECs PAC selection methodology and the bench-scale results of PhC removal by adsorption and by PAC/NF. The methodology developed allowed (i) identifying four target compounds representative of the set of ECs previously detected in El Prat WWTP and in Llobregat River and (ii) selecting a PAC suitable for controlling the four target ECs. The adsorption studies and modelling further developed allowed calibrating predictive models of the PAC adsorption capacity and rate. The PAC/NF bench-scale results showed high removal efficiencies of the target PhCs and the PAC continuous dosing to be more efficient than the pulse dosing, achieving an overall PhC removal of 68% (ranging from 58% to 89%). The results were successfully used in the design and operation of the PAC/NF pilot for the technology demonstration in El Prat WWTP.

Exploring assesssment systems for water loss and energy diagnosis and priorisation
In this article, rather than the traditional approaches where only standard metrics are applied, a comprehensive analysis on the possible advantages of using different metrics (more broad or specific) for system diagnosis and prioritisation is conducted. The iterative process of developing assessment systems is specifically explored and discussed, in order to be used as a direct tool to make immediate decisions and to identify medium term tactics to fulfil the tactical objectives defined by the utilities for managing water and energy losses. Results for one utility have shown that the use of more specific metrics allowed a better understanding of results than the use of a broader subset, undergoing the diagnosis of analysis areas, in consistency with the overall results found for the rest of the utilities.

Note-se que, de acordo com o disposto nas alíneas e) do artigo 5.º do Decreto-Lei n.º 277/2009, de 2 de Outubro, a ERSAR tem atribuições não apenas para assegurar a regulação da qualidade de serviço prestado aos utilizadores pelas entidades gestoras bem como para avaliar o desempenho dessas entidades, promovendo a melhoria dos níveis de serviço. É no quadro destas atribuições que se pretende promover este sistema de avaliação da qualidade dos serviços de águas e resíduos. A 2.ª geração do sistema de avaliação da qualidade do serviço resultou da análise crítica do sistema de indicadores adoptado na 1.ª geração e da respectiva aplicação desde 2004 ao universo das entidades concessionárias e teve em conta o estado actual de conhecimentos e a experiência internacional entretanto adquirida. Para além da identificação e da especificação de todos os componentes do sistema de avaliação, e em particular do conjunto de indicadores de qualidade do serviço a utilizar em cada um dos três tipos de serviços, são também definidos os procedimentos de avaliação, através da definição da informação a obter, do cálculo de indicadores, da sua interpretação e análise comparativa, numa perspectiva de benchmarking, e da produção do relatório de síntese.

Modelação e análise de sistemas de abastecimento de água
A simulação matemática dos sistemas de abastecimento de água é hoje em dia uma ferramenta indispensável aos serviços de água, para apoio a uma gestão técnica racional. O campo de aplicação é variado, sendo um auxiliar das actividades de planeamento, de projecto, de operação e demanutenção. Destacam-se o apoio ao dimensionamento de novas redes, aos programas de reabilitação, ao licenciamento de novas ligações, ao controlo de perdas de água, ao controlo da qualidade da água nas redes ou à gestão optimizada de energia.Em Portugal, o desenvolvimento e a aplicação de modelos matemáticos de sistemas de distribuição de água iniciou-se na década de 80, com o modelo da rede de Almada, elaborado em 1981 pelo LNEC. Depois dealguns anos em que a actividade realizada se centrou essencialmente no ambiente científico e académico, as empresas de consultoria começaram a ganhar espaço de mercado na prestação deste tipo de serviços para as entidades gestoras. Numa fase inicial os requisitos computacionais eramconsideráveis

Controlling organic micropollutants in urban (waste) water treatment by activated carbon adsorption and membrane technology.
The number of climate-related disasters has progressively increased in the last two decades and this trend will drastically exacerbate in the medium- and long-term horizons according to climate change projections. In this framework, through a multi-disciplinary team and a strong background acquired in recent projects, ICARIA aims to promote the use of asset-level modeling to achieve a better understanding of climate related tangible direct and indirect impacts on critical assets due to complex, cascading, and compound disasters. Furthermore, it takes into account the related risk reduction provided by suitable, sustainable, and cost-effective adaptation solutions. ICARIA focuses on both (i) critical assets and services that were not designed for potential climate change-related impacts that can increase the unplanned outages and failures, and (ii) on housing, natural areas, and population. Cutting edge methods regarding climate scenario building, asset-level-coupled models, and multi-risk assessment approaches will be implemented and replicated in three EU regions to understand how future climate scenarios might affect critical assets and to provide decision-making support tools to private and public risk owners to assess the costs and benefits of various adaptation solutions.

Activated carbons in full-scale advanced wastewater treatment
Activated carbons are versatile adsorbents that can play a crucial role in the enhancement of wastewater treatment, namely by controlling organic microcontaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and organic matter. These materials have a 100-year market availability, large scientific testing at lab-scale and applicability in consolidated technologies. However, the use of activated carbons at full-scale wastewater treatment is still emerging, driven by the increasing awareness on environmental and human threats mainly resulting from CECs. The present chapter reviews the literature on the application of activated carbons in full- or large pilot-scale plants, highlighting the state-of-art knowledge on practical issues on operational set-ups, improvements on water overall quality, and costs. The selection criteria and properties of the powdered and granular (PAC and GAC) materials used, and the pros and critical aspects of their application, relevant for product development and process optimisation, are also analysed and determine the research needs proposed for a technical, economic, and environmentally sustainable application of activated carbon in full-scale advanced wastewater treatment.

Assessing urban resilience to cope with climate change (Cap. 7)
Urban areas are dynamic, complex, and vulnerable systems involving multiple strategic services such as water supply, wastewater, and stormwater and waste management. Climate-change trends may directly affect the urban water cycle, through heavy rainfall, tides, and droughts, potentially causing cascading impacts with serious consequences for people, the natural and built environments, and the economy. These challenges to urban areas require an integrated and sustainable approach to increase their resilience, with the allocation of the needed resources, including the development and implementation of disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies, plans, and regulations in all relevant sectors. This chapter describes a resilience-assessment framework to be used by cities and urban-service managers. It considers a structured and objective-driven assessment aiming at supporting the development and monitoring of cities' and urban services' resilience action plans, thus contributing to appropriate DRR investments. Our approach considers four resilience dimensions: organizational, spatial, functional, and physical. It is aligned with the UNDRR's Disaster Resilience Scorecard for Cities and addresses the priorities of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. In this chapter, we apply the resilience-assessment framework to the waste and mobility sectors in Lisbon (Portugal), identifying main opportunities to enhance their resilience and supporting the development of resilience and DRR strategies.

Investing in Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience. Design, methods and Knowledge in the face of climate change.
Urban areas are dynamic, complex, and vulnerable systems involving multiple strategic urban services, stakeholders, and citizens. Strategic services essential to society include water and sewerage (water supply, and wastewater and stormwater management), waste management, energy supply, public lighting, transport, and public security. The potential effects of climate dynamics on the urban areas might lead to the aggravation of existing fragile conditions and the emergence of new hazards or risk factors, with major impacts on strategic urban services, people, the natural and built environment, and the economy. Climate change challenges to urban areas thus require an integrated and sustainable approach to increase their resilience, with the allocation of the needed resources at all administrative levels. These include the development and implementation of disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies, policies, plans, laws, and regulations in all relevant sectors (UNISDR, 2015). This chapter describes a resilience assessment framework to be used by cities and urban-service managers. The framework considers a structured and objective-driven assessment aiming at supporting the development and monitoring of cities

Management of Urban Drainage Infrastructure
This chapter briefly presents concepts and methodologies to support the management of urban drainage infrastructure. After the introduction, data requirements for assessing the condition of urban drainage systems are presented. Data can be collected in different ways. Data analysis allows for determining structural and functional issues and system performance. The causes and consequences of failures are required for condition assessment and are the subject of the risk section. Any intervention in the urban drainage system has a cost that must be assessed. Mathematical modelling of the urban drainage systems has an advantage for evaluating the hydraulic and structural performance. Decisions on the management of urban drainage rehabilitation need to be addressed considering the different points of view or aspects that are often contradictory. This may be addressed by using multi-criteria decision analysis methodologies.

Risk Analysis of Water Harvesting Systems
Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) can result in important benefits, but there are a number of potential negative risks. The risks associated with RWHS depend on several factors and duly consideration is required to ensure that risks associated with this type of solutions are low. Therefore, a generic and systematic approach to manage risk is required. This chapter introduces a brief overview of concepts and terminology adopted. Subsequently, an overview of common approaches to risk management is presented. The chapter focuses on specific aspects for the application of these approaches to RWHS, with emphasis on risk identification, specific risk treatment action, and monitoring. Different approaches on how to determine risks such as water safety plan (WSP), risk management process (RMP), and hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) can be used, but all of them have some common steps.
