项目摘要

This studentship will use a case study approach to develop a new generation of data-oriented informatic tools for the management of the complex and multiple data underpinning total expenditure decision-making in the water utility sector. The proposed programme of research will focus on a comparative evaluation of existing multi-stakeholder tools for asset management planning and will develop a series of analytical tools, exploring contrasting technical and software approaches. The research will lead to an understanding of the range and applicability of multivariate analytic tools, and will ultimately assess how these complex outputs may be visualised such that customer-driven outcomes are derived and management decision-making is supported. Data will be drawn from case studies drawing on the Atkins UK and EU water industry networks.Specific case studies for this research will derive from the UK Chemical Investigations Programme (CIP) (£35m) research innovation programme (2010-2013), managed by Atkins and informing UK and EU chemical regulation under the Water Framework Directive (https://www.ukwir.org/site/web/news/news-items/ukwir-chemicals-investigation-programme). Working with Defra, UK Environment Agency, UK Water Industry and Ofwat, and in response to emergent legislation on surface water quality, CIP sought to gain better understanding of the occurrence, behaviour and management of trace contaminants in wastewater treatment process and in effluents. CIP has generated a vast and varied body of data that now paves the way in this study for the development of tools for rational prioritisation of future actions, supporting a transparent and informed discussion of the available options required to manage trace substances in the water environment. Further to this, Atkins are also now supporting the UKWIR 'follow-on' programme (£120m) of UK innovation, embracing environmental challenges, technological development and economic decision-making. Additional case studies can draw from this programme, providing a basis for further integrated analytical tools. The outline for multivariate analysis tools linked to visualisation of outputs in this arena will be used to inform outcomes and to explore opportunities in the water sector. A unique aspect of this project is that it will seek to inform the UK water industry as to the options and opportunities for meeting EU and UK environmental drivers and, due to its economic implications, it will also inform the introduction of competition into the UK water market. Therefore the proposed case studies approach should prove of significant importance to the UK on both an environmental and economic level.

本课程将采用个案研究的方法，开发新一代以数据为导向的资讯工具，以管理水务部门总支出决策的复杂和多重数据。拟议的研究方案将侧重于对现有资产管理规划的多方利益相关者工具进行比较评价，并将开发一系列分析工具，探索对比技术和软件方法。该研究将导致对多元分析工具的范围和适用性的理解，并将最终评估如何将这些复杂的输出可视化，从而派生出客户驱动的结果并支持管理决策。数据将从阿特金斯英国和欧盟水工业网络的案例研究中提取。这项研究的具体案例研究将来自英国化学调查计划（CIP）（3500万英镑）研究创新计划（2010-2013），由阿特金斯管理，并根据水框架指令（https://www.ukwir.org/site/web/news/news-items/ukwir-chemicals-investigation-programme）通知英国和欧盟的化学法规。CIP与Defra、英国环境署、英国水工业和ofwater合作，响应地表水质量的紧急立法，寻求更好地了解废水处理过程和出水中微量污染物的发生、行为和管理。CIP已经产生了大量多样的数据，这些数据为本研究开发工具铺平了道路，以便合理确定未来行动的优先顺序，支持对管理水环境中微量物质所需的可用选项进行透明和知情的讨论。除此之外，阿特金斯现在还支持UKWIR的英国创新“后续”计划（1.2亿英镑），包括环境挑战、技术发展和经济决策。可以从这个方案中吸取更多的案例研究，为进一步综合分析工具提供基础。与该领域产出可视化相关的多变量分析工具大纲将用于为结果提供信息并探索水部门的机会。这个项目的一个独特之处在于，它将寻求告知英国水务行业关于满足欧盟和英国环境驱动因素的选择和机会，并且由于其经济影响，它还将告知英国水务市场引入竞争。因此，拟议的案例研究方法应该证明对英国在环境和经济层面上都具有重要意义。
