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 ...

Dynamics of pollutant discharge in combined sewer systems during rain events: chance or determinism? [PDF]
Water Science and Technology, 2014 A large database of continuous flow and turbidity measurements cumulating data on hundreds of rain events and dry weather days from two sites in Paris (called Quais and Clichy) and one in Lyon (called Ecully) is presented. This database is used to characterize and compare the behaviour of the three sites at the inter-events scale.

Infectious rain? Evaluation of human pathogen concentrations in stormwater in separate sewer systems
Water Science and Technology, 2019 AbstractSeparate sewer systems collect and discharge rainwater directly into surface water bodies. In residential areas covering moderate traffic load these are alternative drainage routes to avoid combined sewer overflow discharge and to keep rivers clean as required by the EU Water Framework Directive.

Water Science and Technology, 1998 The aim of this study was the evaluation of fluxes of organic carbon and biodegradability of waste waters during rain events in order to better predict the impacts of combined sewer overflows (CSO). The combined sewer system studied was located in a densely populated urban catchment adjacent to Paris.

Limnimeter and rain gauge FDI in sewer networks using an interval parity equations based detection approach and an enhanced isolation scheme [PDF]
Control Engineering Practice, 2013 In this paper, a methodology for limnimeter and rain-gauge fault detection and isolation (FDI) in sewer networks is presented. The proposed model based FDI approach uses interval parity equations for fault detection in order to enhance robustness against modelling errors and noise.

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 ...

Bacterial diversity impacts as a result of combined sewer overflow in a polluted waterway [PDF]
Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2017 Newtown Creek is an industrial waterway and former tidal wetland in New York City. It is one of the most polluted water bodies in the United States and was designated as a superfund site in 2010.
