Abstract: Sustainable management of urban water systems can be supported by integrated models representing system components as interconnected sub-models. However, a careful balance of completeness and parsimony is to be looked for in model development. A modelling framework integrating multiple sub-models was defined to simulate water quantity and water quality dynamics in the CSO-impacted urban canals network of Padua. Heterogeneous (0D vs 1D-2D) sub-model complexity reflects different data availability and the study focus on urban streams multifunctionality. A preliminary simple 0D representation of drainage dynamics in one key node of the water system gave promising results.
