Modeling the Effectiveness of Rain Barrels, Cisterns, and Downspout Disconnections for Reducing Combined Sewer Overflows in a City-Scale Watershed

Water Resources Management, 2021
Green Infrastructure / Low Impact Development (GI/LID) is an increasingly popular strategy to manage urban stormwater for individual properties, but the aggregate effect on runoff reduction at the city scale has not been thoroughly investigated. This study examined the potential combined effects of rain barrels, cisterns, and downspout disconnections ...

Human Bacteroides and total coliforms as indicators of recent combined sewer overflows and rain events in urban creeks

Science of The Total Environment, 2018
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are a known source of human fecal pollution and human pathogens in urban water bodies, which may present a significant public health threat. To monitor human fecal contamination in water, bacterial fecal indicator organisms (FIOs) are traditionally used.

Evaluating rain gardens as a method to reduce the impact of sewer overflows in sources of drinking water

Science of The Total Environment, 2014
The implications of climate change and changing precipitation patterns need to be investigated to evaluate mitigation measures for source water protection. Potential solutions need first to be evaluated under present climate conditions to determine their utility as climate change adaptation strategies.

Initial impacts of rain gardens’ application on water quality and quantity in combined sewer: field-scale experiment

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering, 2017
Green infrastructures such as rain gardens can benefit onsite reduction of stormwater runoff, leading to reduced combined sewer overflows. A pilot project was conducted to evaluate the impact of rain gardens on the water quality and volume reduction of storm runoff from urban streets in a combined sewer area. The study took place in a six-block area on

CFD modeling of a rain event on combined sewer overflow

Pollack Periodica, 2022
Abstract Stretching periods between precipitations have been recorded, and an adjustment of the dispersion of rainfall over the long run could be seen. An expanded number of these peculiarities have additionally been affirmed by the international panel on climate change.

When rain overwhelms the sewers, antibiotic-resistant bacteria flood the river

Water Science Policy, 2022
Wastewater treatment plants are ‘hotspots’ for antibiotic resistance genes and bacteria but sewer overflows exacerbate the problem by disseminating them into rivers. Swiss researchers suggest ways to minimise these effects.

Assessment of the contribution of sewer deposits to suspended solids loads in combined sewer systems during rain events

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2013
Within the French observatories network SOERE "URBIS," databases of continuous turbidity measurements accumulating hundreds of events and many dry weather days are available for two sites with different features (Clichy in Paris and Ecully in Lyon).

Principles of a Rain Gauge Fault Diagnosis System for Urban Sewer Network Control

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1997
Abstract An application of quantitative model-based fault diagnosis to an urban rain gauge network is presented. Relationships between groups of gauges are represented using a multiple model approach. The obtained models are involved in the generation of fault sensitive signals and the basis of a fault detection and isolation scheme is presented ...
