Exploring online sensor parameters as proxies for polar organic chemicals-An innovative approach for combined sewer overflow monitoring. [PDF]
PLoS ONECombined sewer overflows (CSOs) can release toxic organic chemicals into surface waters during rain events. Currently, most overflow sites are not monitored because commonly used methods, such as automated grab sampling followed by laboratory analysis ...

Groundwater Infiltration and Rainfall-Derived Inflow and Infiltration Assessment in Separate Sewer Systems (Case Study: Tehran Urban Area) [PDF]
آب و فاضلاب, 2022 Separate sewer networks are designed and built to collect foul sewage from buildings and convey it to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, due to some holes and cracks on the pipes or unsealed pipe joints, a volume of ground or subsurface water ...

High levels of sewage contamination released from urban areas after storm events: A quantitative survey with sewage specific bacterial indicators. [PDF]
PLoS Medicine, 2018 BACKGROUND:Past studies have demonstrated an association between waterborne disease and heavy precipitation, and climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of these types of intense storm events in some parts of the United States.

Inflow and infiltration assessment of a prototype sanitary sewer network in a coastal city in China
Water Science and Technology, 2023 A 16-month monitoring program was conducted on a prototype sanitary system in a coastal city in China. The groundwater infiltration (GWI) on dry weather days and the rain-derived inflow and infiltration (RDII) on wet weather days were quantified and ...

Rain model — Boundary condition in sewer network appraisal [PDF]
Pollack Periodica, 2016 Appraisals results of divided and combined rain sewers highly depend on the appropriate choice of model rain. The goal of this research is to verify the impact of different rain models on results of rainfall totals, calculated flow in the network and in their overall effect on the assessment. This research focuses on three main rain models - block rain

Characterization of water quality among direct and delayed wet -weather flows in an urban combined sewer catchment of Thailand [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2017 The purpose of this research was to compare five water quality parameters (BOD, TSS, total zinc, TKN, and fecal coliform) in wet-weather flow of a combined sewer catchment against dry-weather flow, while making a distinction between direct and delayed ...
