Sensitivity Analysis
One at a time method
 Select one IUWS model input and change its value from default to upper or
lower value in the considered range. Keep the other input parameter values
at their nominal values.
 Run the IUWS model and evaluate the relevant IUWS model outputs.
 Calculate the relative difference (percent change) for the analysed IUWS
model outputs relative to the BC.
 Rank the obtained relative differences in a descending order and identify the
most sensitive IUWS model input parameters.
10
Regional Sensitivity Analysis
 Identify the most important parameters from LSA
 Generate samples by using Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS)
 Run the IUWS model
 Determine the behavioural (B) & non-behavioural (NB) groups of samples
 Provide the CDF of B & NB samples
 Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test

Summary of the results from the design and operational control
optimisation models
 Operational control optimisation has the potential to improve the quality of water
under the considered climate change scenarios.
 Operational control optimisation under the combined climate change with
urbanisation scenarios can improve the water quality indicators to some extent.
 RD has more potential than RI in worsening the quality of water under future

climate change.
The values of the urbanisation parameters (specifically PCW) are very decisive as
water quality indicators.
Combination of urbanisation with climate change (in some extent) have the
potential to intensify water quality deterioration.
Improving the system performance only by optimising the operational control is not
adequate enough, to meet both economic and water quality criteria, under the
examined climate change and urbanisation scenarios.
Considering the combined impacts of climate change and urbanisation for the
system performance improvement, increases costs over just climate change impacts.

Summary of the risk-based optimisation model results
 Uncertainty of the urbanisation parameters under RD brings about greater risk to the
IUWS than RI.
 The risk of failures under the considered climate change and urbanisation
parameters results in greater stress for DO than un-ionised Ammonia.
 The duration and frequency of water quality failures are determining factors of the
tolerable risk level for the health of aquatic life.
 Improving the considered operational control of the IUWS in isolation did not show
enough potential to reduce the risk of water quality failures to meet the tolerable risk
levels.
 Improving the design of the IUWS (in addition to the operational control) was
required in this study to mitigate the risk of water quality failures.
 Decisions about the tolerable level of risk are vital to determine the required strategy
(ies) for the system improvement(s) in the future. Therefore, having comprehensive
knowledge about the ecosystem under study is important for the planners to reduce
the future unavoidable risks in their decisions.
