This book presents comprehensive results of a Sino-German joint project on water resources in East China and discusses state-of-the-art water resources and water quality management in the Chao Lake Catchment. It contains hydrological and groundwater models, scenario analysis, software tools, equipment solutions for urban water management. In Chapter 4, there is a comprehensive discussion on GIS-based ALLOWS tool to create and evaluate decentralised wastewater management scenarios comparing on a cost-efficiency basis in order to point stakeholders towards appropriate wastewater management solutions.
