van der Werf, Job (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Model Predictive Control (MPC) of Urban Drainage Systems (UDS) has been established as a cost-effective method to reduce pollution. However, the operation of large UDS (containing over 20 actuators) can only be optimized by oversimplifying the UDS dynamics, potentially leading to a decrease in performance and reduction in users' trust, thus...journal article 2023

van der Werf, Job (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Model Predictive Control (MPC) of combined sewer systems can reduce environmental degradation caused by uncontrolled overflows. However, practical uncertainties are often neglected when assessing the potential of MPC strategies. This paper aims to understand the risks associated with using a non-perfect internal MPC-model, real precipitation...journal article 2023

Francken, Felix (author), van Batenburg, Tobias (author), Langeveld, Bram (author), Jhinkoe-Rai, Suryand (author), Rahan, Tyra (author)The coastal area of the Murcia region in Spain experiences more frequent and more intense flash floods caused by inland heavy rainfall due to climate change. This results in high water levels in towns and cities, leading to risk of loss of life and many financial damages. Currently the region is vulnerable, because there are no hydraulic...student report 2022

Garzón Díaz, J.A. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Taormina, R. (author)Surrogate models replace computationally expensive simulations of physically-based models to obtain accurate results at a fraction of the time. These surrogate models, also known as metamodels, have been employed for analysis, control, and optimization of water distribution and urban drainage systems. With the advent of machine learning (ML),...review 2022

(author), Shucksmith, James (author), Heuvelink, Gerard B.M. (author)This paper aims to stimulate discussion based on the experiences derived from the QUICS project (Quantifying Uncertainty in Integrated Catchment Studies). First it briefly discusses the current state of knowledge on uncertainties in sub-models of integrated catchment models and the existing frameworks for analysing uncertainty. Furthermore, it...review 2019

(author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Sewer asset management gained momentum and importance in recent years due to economic considerations, since infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation directly represent major investments. Because physical urban water infrastructure has life expectancies of up to 100 years or more, contemporary urban drainage systems are strongly influenced...review 2019

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Tscheikner-Gratl, F. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Receiving water quality simulation in highly urbanised areas requires the integration of several processes occurring at different space-time scales. These integrated catchment models deliver results with a significant uncertainty level associated. Still, uncertainty analysis is seldom applied in practice and the relative contribution of the...journal article 2019

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Water quality environmental assessment often requires the joint simulation of several subsystems (e.g. wastewater treatment processes, urban drainage and receiving water bodies). The complexity of these integrated catchment models grows fast, leading to potentially over-parameterised and computationally expensive models. The receiving water body...journal article 2019

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Bellos, V. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)This work presents a method to emulate the flow dynamics of physically based hydrodynamic simulators under variations of time-dependent rainfall and parametric scenarios. Although surrogate modelling is often employed to deal with the computational burden of this type of simulators, common techniques used for model emulation as polynomial...journal article 2018

Nieuwenhuis, E.M. (author), Post, J.A.B. (author), Duinmeijer, S.P.A. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)The accumulation of FOG (Fat, Oil and Grease) deposits in sewer pumping stations results in an increase in maintenance costs, malfunctioning of pumps and, a potential increase of wastewater spills in receiving open water bodies. It is thought that a variety of parameters (e.g. geometry of the pump sump, pump operation, socioeconomic...journal article 2018

van Bijnen, J.A.C. (author), Korving, J.L. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Due to a variety of contaminants in floodwater, exposure to urban pluvial flooding may pose a health risk to humans. In-sewer defects may cause increased pluvial flooding, possibly increasing health risks. This paper addresses the impact of in-sewer defects on urban pluvial flooding and, subsequently, on infection probabilities for humans. As...journal article 2018

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Cecinati, Francesca (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Integrated Catchment Modelling aims to simulate jointly urban drainage systems, wastewater treatment plant and rivers. The effect of rainfall input uncertainties in the modelling of individual urban drainage systems has been discussed in several studies already. However, this influence changes when simultaneously simulating several urban...journal article 2017

(author), Schilperoort, Remy (author), Nopens, Ingmar (author), Flameling, Tony (author), Weijers, Stefan (author)Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) typically have a service life of several decades. During this service life, external factors, such as changes in the effluent standards or the loading of the WWTP may change, requiring WWTP performance to be optimized. WWTP modelling is widely accepted as a means to assess and optimize WWTP performance. One of...journal article 2017

(author)Real time control (RTC) is increasingly seen as a viable method to optimise the functioning of wastewater systems. Model exercises and case studies reported in literature claim a positive impact of RTC based on results without uncertainty analysis and flawed evaluation periods. This paper describes two integrated RTC strategies at the wastewater...journal article 2017

van Daal-Rombouts, P.M.M. (author), Gruber, Günter (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Muschalla, Dirk (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Real time control (RTC) is generally viewed as a viable method for optimising the performance of urban wastewater systems. A literature review on the performance evaluation of RTC demonstrated a lack of consensus on how to do this. Two main deficiencies were identified: omitting uncertainty analysis and applying limited evaluation periods. A...journal article 2017

Post, J.A.B. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)The performance of lateral house connections has a direct impact on sewer serviceability. Despite the potential consequences of a blockage, these components are generally maintained with a reactive approach. As inspection data on the condition of lateral house connections are scarce, this study adopts a statistical procedure to support...journal article 2016

(author)Optimisation or real time control (RTC) studies in wastewater systems increasingly require rapid simulations of sewer systems in extensive catchments. To reduce the simulation time calibrated simplified models are applied, with the performance generally based on the goodness of fit of the calibration. In this research the performance of three...journal article 2016

van Riel, W. (author), Post, J.A.B. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Herder, P.M. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Operational decision-making processes for networked infrastructure management often occur as a multi-actor planning problem, implying these are based on negotiations between different stakeholders in addition to available system quality information. As such, does more accurate data about actual structural condition lead to other or better...journal article 2016

This study applied a methodology to develop a quantitative gully pot sedimentation and blockage model. To this end, sediment bed level time series from 300 gully pots, spanning 15 months, were collected. A...journal article 2016
