Questions arise whether decentralised urban drainage systems are a better alternative to centralised systems, and whether Nature Based Solutions' (NBS) multifunctionality also brings economic benefits. This research aims to develop spatio-economic scenarios to support cities in increasing their resilience to urban flooding with NBS. The novelty of our work lies in the automated routines to assess the potential for decentralised NBS within the existing urban catchment. The identification of locations and dimensioning is based on open, publicly available geospatial data. Moreover, a block-based decentralization potential metric is developed to indicate stormwater mitigation potential in any urban setting. The Ecully catchment, Lyon metropolitan area (France), is presented as a case study to achieve zero combined sewer overflow (CSO) for specific design storm events. This planning workflow enables project cost savings through the most suitable allocation of distributed interventions, with cost functions also incorporating scaling effects. By reducing the number of decentralised NBS sites compared to smaller, wide-distributed interventions up to 34 % of project costs are saved when planning for a 5-year design storm and up to 7 % for a 100-year design storm. When the decentralised NBS scenario is analysed alongside other urban stormwater management practices, the centralised constructed wetland for CSO results to be the most economical solution due to the higher retention capacity and scaling effect, significantly outperforming the grey alternatives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52198,"journal":{"name":"Water Research X","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100284"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11665414/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142883391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To aid in real-time decision-making for stable WWTP operations, this study developed a probabilistic deep learning model that comprises encoder-decoder long short-term memory (LSTM) networks with added capacity of producing probability predictions, to enhance the robustness of real-time WWTP effluent quality prediction under such events. The developed probabilistic encoder-decoder LSTM (P-ED-LSTM) model was tested in an actual WWTP, where bihourly effluent quality prediction of total nitrogen was performed and compared with classical deep learning models, including LSTM, gated recurrent unit (GRU) and Transformer. It was found that under shocking load events, the P-ED-LSTM could achieve a 49.7% improvement in prediction accuracy for bihourly real-time predictions of effluent concentration compared to the LSTM, GRU, and Transformer. A higher quantile of the probability data from the P-ED-LSTM model output, indicated a prediction value more approximate to real effluent quality. The P-ED-LSTM model also exhibited higher predictive power for the next multiple time steps with shocking load scenarios. It captured approximately 90% of the actual over-limit discharges up to 6 hours ahead, significantly outperforming other deep learning models. Therefore, the P-ED-LSTM model, with its robust adaptability to significant fluctuations, has the potential for broader applications across WWTPs with different processes, as well as providing strategies for wastewater system regulation under emergency conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52198,"journal":{"name":"Water Research X","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100291"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11667701/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142886490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results reveal that the low-cost sensors were robust as the six individual devices performed consistently under different testing conditions. After calibration, low-cost sensors provided sufficient accuracy (±10mm) and precision for water levels more than 0.05m. While varying water flow direction did not significantly influence the performance, we showed that calibration should be done for individual devices. In addition, large (>5 °C) variations in water temperature and varying wet/dry conditions may also influence the performance of the low-cost sensors. The field calibration approach was validated in a 3-month experiment, confirming that this model of low-cost sensor can effectively replace traditional sensors in the field in tropical climates.
