DESCRIPTION:Professor Jean-Luc Bertrand-Krajewski\, LGCIE (Laboratory of C
 ivil and Environmental Engineering)\, INSA-Lyon\, France\nIn Lyon\, France
 \, the OTHU project was launched in 1999 with the aim to organise a long t
 erm multi-disciplinary collaboration between researchers and practitioners
  to develop knowledge and change practice in the field of urban hydrology\
 , with a special focus on stormwater.\nThe presentation will be organised 
 in three parts:\n\n	\n		the first part will i) explain how the OTHU projec
 t is organised and managed on the long term\, ii) present the monitoring s
 ites and equipment\, and the main research themes\, and iii) show how appl
 ied research programmes are defined in close collaboration between researc
 hers and with the operator of the urban drainage system.\n	\n		the second 
 part will present a short selection of results obtained in the OTHU projec
 t\, especially regarding i) pollutants loads in urban wet weather discharg
 es and ii) settling of solids in stormwater detention tanks. Key aspects w
 ill be continuous on-line monitoring of water quality\, results obtained f
 rom long term time series\, and CFD modelling of settling process in a lar
 ge stormwater tank.\n	\n		the third part will introduce on-going research 
 actions devoted to modelling of urban wet weather discharges quantity and 
 quality\, with focus on questions linked to model calibration\, assessment
  of uncertainties\, model selection and refinement.\n\n
