Consumers are both water absorbers and dischargers. They can be interpreted as municipal or industrial waterworks with a subsequent supply network, which require drinking or process water and release it back into a body of water via the sewerage system and sewage treatment plant with a time delay. The time delay indicates how long the water quantity remains in the consumer on average until it appears again as clarified waste water in the body of water. The consumer replaces a detailed simulation of an urban area with sewer system. However, if a differentiated consideration of urban areas is required, this can be done with the help of urban catchment areas, pipelines and reservoirs as retention structures of the sewer system.
