Book Description:

Written by top engineers, this book combines both the mathematical and analytical tools necessary for modeling current sewer systems and developing strategies for abatement of combined sewer overflows. Leading CSO experts provide a condensed interpretation of the federal CSO policy; detailed guidance on nine minimum controls and long term control planning; funding options and cost-benefit analysis. Recent case studies demonstrate cost-effective abatement compliance plans. Appendix includes EPA's Combined Sewer Overflow policy.

Synopsis:

In many cities, storm and sanitary sewers are combined into one system. This waste-water technology has worked well for years, but as cities have expanded, old systems have been unable to accommodate overflows from storm run-off, resulting in surges of wastewater through treatment plants and spillage of raw sewage into receiving water. Written by engineers, this second edition combines updated mathematical and analytical tools necessary for modelling current sewer systems and drawing up strategies for implementing alternative sewer flows and diversion systems. Recent case studies provide a range of practical control and treatment technology solutions that have worked in municpalities.
