<br />o <br /> <br />and usable databases on the state of the art in terms of research activities, <br />the performance of existing systems, current engineering design criteria, and <br />real time control systems so that experiments can be conducted at the bench- <br />scale, pilot plant, or full-seale level as well as running computer models. <br />Given this environment, we should be able to make significant advances in <br />developing innovative engineering designs and to show a prototype of haw <br />engineering research, education and practice can be integrated. <br /> <br />8.1 Qualifications of Faculty Investigators <br /> <br />James P.

We expect that more <br />groups will seek to participate in this cooperative activity, especially to <br />utilize the BCW case study for their purposes. We will solicit interested <br />groups to have personnel come to the U. of Colorado to work with us on a <br />daily basis. A three year project is planned with the schedule as outlined <br />below. <br /> <br />1. Develop the continuous simulation modeljDSS for BCW and the City of Boul- <br />der water supply, wastewater, and stormwater systems using existing software <br />and databases: Months 1-15. <br /> <br />2. Initiate the six specific special st~dies. Link the initial results to <br />the watershed model and DSS: Months 1-15. <br /> <br />3. Conduct the Workshop on Research Needs: Month 15. <br /> <br />4. Formulate a strategy for long-term research on urban infrastructure sys- <br />tems within the watershed context: Months 15-16. <br /> <br />5. Improve the continuous simulation model/DSS as recommended based on the <br />Workshop and input from the Advisory Committee: Months 17-36. <br /> <br />6. Refine the six special studies based on feedback from the workshop and the <br />advice of the Advisory Committee: Months 17-36. <br /> <br />7. Publish the results in the open literature and disseminate the DSS to <br />interested users: Months 6-36. <br /> <br />15 <br />
