Abstract

In the last few years, the idea of managing the urban pipe drainage network with a Real Time Control System has developed because the environmental engineering aim is to govern the hydraulic system during the meteoric events. The correct management of the pipe drainage allows to obtain many results: to decrease the flooding hazard of the lower urban areas; to decrease the frequency and the amount of polluted water (especially in the mixed drainage systems) release in the environment; to equalize the waste water volumes which arrive at the purification plant; to optimize the hydrological cycle of water by means of the control of the water quality in order to reuse it in the irrigation pipe systems; to optimize the con
