Building an effective decision support system for the maintenance of underground/sewage networks M. Burde Faculty of Environmental Science and Process Engineering, Chair ofWastewater Technology, Brandenburg Technical University of Cottbus, D-03046 Cottbus, Germany I INTRODUCTION Against the background of the current situation in sewage treatment in the five New Federal States, the problem "Monitoring the state of sewer systems" is of increasing importance. Along with the planning, dimensioning, construction and operation of sewer systems, the investigation and detection as well as the prognosis and sanitation of damage to drainage systems is becoming more and more a significant task. For civil engineering and for students specializing in "Environmental Engineering" it is useful to put special emphasis on this field of activity in teaching and research. Surveys and investigations - made by scientific-technical specialist-associations dealing with waste water economy - show the ne
