The municipal water and wastewater sector is considered to be one of the most capital intensive industrial sectors and unfortunately the American Society of Civil Engineers (2005) rated the condition of the drinking water and wastewater infrastructure systems as poor, citing specifically a lack of investment in capital assets over a prolonged period of time. Clearly, methods based on sound financial and engineering principles that enhance capital asset allocation strategies can add significant value to municipal decision makers. The focus of this proposal will be the optimization of wastewater plant expansions, with specific emphasis on modular staged plant expansion. The overall objective of the proposed research is to develop a methodology and tool that allows engineers and municipal decision makers to optimize wastewater plant expansions, and especially, in high growth population areas, to develop modular staged expansion strategies. Specifically, the methodology will be based on sound financial principles utilizing real options techniques that will allow the valuation to be viewed from both a governmental investment perspective, and from a private investor's. As well, the methodology will have a significant engineering component that allows a designer to choose different technologies to ensure that the required treatment is achieved. Capital and operating costs will need to be clearly accounted for. Finally, the methodology must be such that its fundamentals are easily understood by engineers so that its use is readily adopted.

市政供水和废水处理部门被认为是资本最密集的工业部门之一，不幸的是，美国土木工程师协会（2005年）将饮用水和废水处理基础设施系统的状况评为较差，特别提到长期缺乏资本资产投资。显然，基于健全的金融和工程原则的方法，加强资本资产配置战略，可以增加市政决策者的重要价值。本提案的重点是污水厂扩建的优化，特别强调模块化分阶段工厂扩建。 拟议研究的总体目标是开发一种方法和工具，使工程师和市政决策者能够优化污水厂扩建，特别是在人口高增长地区，开发模块化分阶段扩建策略。具体而言，该方法将以健全的财务原则为基础，利用真实的选择权技术，从政府投资和私人投资者的角度看待估值。此外，该方法将有一个重要的工程组成部分，允许设计师选择不同的技术，以确保实现所需的处理。资本和运营成本需要明确核算。最后，该方法必须使工程师容易理解其基本原理，以便易于采用。
