This thesis develops a system to evaluate the sustainability of wastewater treatment plants. The different dimensions of sustainability - ecological, economic and social - are considered. The ecologic assessment is based on a Life Cycle Assessment study. The social dimension is assessed by analyzing sustainability frameworks. The economic dimension is assessed by the wastewater charge. Indicators are developed, which are evaluated, tested and adapted based on wastewater treatment plant data. A database and program code are generated to record and evaluate the data.
