Abstract
The management of the urban water cycle (UWC) is a subject of increasing interest because of its social, economic and environmental impact. The most important issues include the sustainable use of limited resources and the reliability of service to consumers with adequate quality and pressure levels, as well as the urban drainage management to prevent flooding and polluting discharges to the environment. This article summarizes the real-time global optimal management of two systems of the UWC, both of them located in Barcelona, Spain: its DWN – specifically the transport network – and a representative portion of its SN. Real-time control (RTC) of both types of UWC systems has received special attention during the last few years, due to the increasing demand for improved system performance to meet consumer and regulatory needs, often at reduced cost.
