Original Abstract

The paper introduces an international research project CARE-S (Computer Aided Rehabilitation of Sewer Networks) supported by the European Commission under the Fifth Framework Programme for Science Research and Technological development. The CARE-S project deals with rehabilitation strategy of the sewer networks. The objective is to establish a rational framework for sewer network rehabilitation decisionmaking and to develop integrated tool for functional and structural rehabilitation of municipal sewerage systems. CARE-S aims to analyse the structural and functional reliability of wastewater networks at minimum cost and disturbance. The main parts of the project cover the system of performance indicators, description and validation of structural condition and hydraulic performance, information system of rehabilitation technologies, socio-economic consequences and multi-criteria decision support. The ultimate product will be a Decision Support System that will enable municipal engineers to establish and maintain an effective management of their sewer networks. The project is connected with similar project CARE-W (Computer Aided Rehabilitation of Water Networks) that was already finished.
