The newsletter of the IWA specialist group on watershed and river basin management has published in its July newsletter a report on the 2012 pHD thesis presented at LEQUIA by Pau Prat Busquets: "Integrated management of urban wastewater systems: a model-based approach".

The thesis, supervised by Dr. Joaquim Comas (LEQUIA) and Dr. Lluís Corominas (ICRA), develops and implements a new methodology to find the best operational strategies for  integrated wastewater management systems. The metodology is applied to one case study: the Besòs river basin.
