Short description of the
dataset/map
(What can be seen in the map?)
Decreases in BOD loadings from Urban runoff are seen across all scenarios and for all SCENES regions. Largest
reductions are seen for the Sustainability eventually scenario.
Driving forces
Short interpretation of the
dataset/map
(How do you explain the causes
and resulting effects?)

- Level of treatment
- Urban Population
- Urban runoff volume
- Built-up area
Decrease in loading is seen with increased level of treatment in sewage treatment works. All urban runoff from
paved surface is assumed to enter drainage and is then treated.
BOD load from urban areas is the amount of BOD that enters water courses from runoff generated by the hard
surfaces found in urban areas.
SCENES deliverables 3.2 (describes how loads are calculated) and D1.6 which explains how future values are
calculated.
