A system dynamics model integrating urine diversion and resource recovery for sustainable wastewater management

Jennifer Rae McConville
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in tourism-driven and climate-sensitive coastal regions experience pronounced seasonal hydraulic variability that challenge conventional performance assessment frameworks. The objective of this study is to apply system dynamics modeling to guide strategic decision-making in the adoption of urine diversion (UD) systems for increased nutrient recovery. Specifically, the study evaluates the environmental performance and strategic implications of integrating UD in
