“…In searching for publications in recent conference proceedings from the Water Environment Foundation and the International Conferences on Urban Drainage, one finds that most publications still deal with real-time control theoretical or modelling results (Adderley et al 2002;Campisano et al 2002;Hamon et al 2002;Einfalt et al 2002;Gogien et al 2002;Maeda et al 2002;Fuchs et al 2002;Schütze et al 2002;Zug et al 2002;Salamero et al 2002;Milnes 2002;Newman et al 2002;Ridgway et al 2002;Cheung et al 2004;Joyner et al 2003, Rosenberg et al 2004. Very few of such publications (Ku et al 2003;Comeau et al 2003;Pleau et al 2001Pleau et al , 2002Schütze et al 2002;Fuchs et al 2002) include real-time control benefits, design and implementation considerations.…”

Environmental regulation is evolving and will require billions of dollars in investments to improve the operation of wastewater systems and to control the wet-weather pollution. The optimization of existing facilities before building new ones has been emphasized as a preferred strategy and, consequently, municipalities are learning that they can avoid costly and unnecessary capital improvement projects. Real-time control is a technology that serves to optimize the operation of wastewater systems. However, it is still not widely used, although it is gaining acceptance in the municipal engineering community. More and more municipalities are evaluating the potential of real-time control for their systems. Nevertheless, there are relatively few examples of actual real-time control applications or publications on this topic. Many issues still need to be addressed, ranging from the evaluation of real-time control to its implementation. Some of the criteria that favour the implementation of real-time control systems are presented, including safety, reliability, adaptability and flexibility, and such a presentation is complemented by case studies of operational real-time control systems illustrating these characteristics.
