Aquafin developed a zoning methodology to define how sanitation is best organised in areas where there currently are no water treatment facilities. Our zone planning determines per treatment area or per municipal area for which percentage of houses the pollution load can best be connected to the (existing) collective sewer system and transported to a treatment plant. The zoning plan provides a solution without infringing on the local authorities’ autonomy and wishes.

Aquafin also developed a methodology for planning investments in wastewater treatment infrastructure. Based on its predicted ecological return, the priority of each project is calculated. The master plan provides per treatment area an overview of all necessary remediation projects to achieve the required degree of treatment at minimal cost. The necessary projects are ordered in descending order of ecological profit. The prioritising of the projects is done with a ‘priority model for treatment infrastructure’. This model determines the best project order of priority for achieving the maximum ecological return, taking into account the available budgetary resources.
