A New Empirical Sewer Water Quality Model for the Prediction of WWTP Influent Quality

Modelling of the integrated urban water system is a powerful tool to optimise wastewater system performance or to find cost-effective solutions for receiving water problems. One of the challenges of integrated modelling is the prediction of water quality at the inlet of a WWTP. Recent applications of water quality sensors have resulted in the...

Applicability of CFD Modelling in Determining Accurate Weir Discharge: Water Level Relationships

Being able to accurately determine weir discharges is of key importance in urban water management. The most common method is performing a level measurement and calculating the discharge using the standard weir equation. Since this equation is only valid in certain conditions, this can lead to large deviations from the actual discharge. In this...

CSO pollution analysis based on conductivity and turbidity measurements and implications for application of RTC

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the applicability of, and need for, surrogate sensors as robust sensors for water quality based RTC. For this purpose 1.5 years of level, conductivity (EC) and turbidity (TU) measurements at 9 combined sewer overflow (CSO) locations have been performed and analysed to determine the most polluted CSO...
