Abstract: | This work focuses on the development and application of appropriate software tools for recording, assessing and reporting
data related to the operation of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Plants (UWTPs) in Cyprus. An appropriate Internet-Based Management
System was designed, developed and installed at the premises of the UWTPs and of the Cypriot Competent Authority (Water Development
Department — WDD) in order to coordinate and disseminate tasks and related information for monitoring the operation of UWTPs.
In addition, a client Geographical Information System database was compiled to be used for obtaining and analyzing spatial
information. The software tools are based on common procedures and state-of-the-art technology for the recording and transmission
of data and information and they provide an integrated view related to the operation and the efficiency of wastewater treatment
systems. Moreover, continuous control and systematic monitoring of the UWTPs by the operators as well as continuous and direct
supervision of the UWTPs environmental performance is achieved by the personnel of the Competent Authority. Furthermore, direct
and unobstructed provision of data to the Competent Authority of Cyprus is accomplished by the operators of the UWTPs, while
the Competent Authority is supported to compose full and representative reports to the European Commission and other International
Organizations. The developed tools enable the direct recording of data obtained through measurements and analyses, permit
the comparison of data with existing legislation and provide an integrated picture of the operation of the wastewater treatment
plants as well as the option to focus and assess each individual treatment stage. |
