Estimating Rain Derived Inflow and Infiltration for Rainfalls of Varying Characteristics
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of this paper is to describe an autoregressive regression framework with respect to metered sewer flow and simultaneous rainfall data series. The main purpose is to produce more reliable estimates for rain derived inflow and infiltration RDII characteristics in a sanitary sewer basin. The discussion is centered at three specific points: 1 a justification for an autoregressive error structure; 2 a modeling setup to capture the RDII characteristics for rain events of varying duration and intensity; and 3 a statistical quantification of RDII reduction, by a sewer rehabilitation project, via tests based on two independent data series.

A two-sample nonlinear heteroscedastic regression model is described and proposed for the purpose of evaluating a sewer basin rehabilitation by quantifying the reduction in rain-derived inflow and infiltration RDII . The proposed methodology is used at the second stage of RDII studies after RDII volumes of individual rain events are estimated. The proposed methodology utilizes boundary conditio...
متن کاملA simplified approach for the design of infiltration trenches.
The use of infiltration trenches has proven to be useful to reduce runoff in urban surfaces. The design of these structures is based on the continuity equation taking into account inflow, outflow and detention water volumes. Basic procedures evaluate entering flow rates and relative volumes directly as a function of rain event characteristics, without taking into account rain-runoff processes o...

What is infiltration? The term infiltration is used by wastew a t e r professionals to describe the excess water that sometimes seeps, trickles, or flows into old or damaged collection systems from the surrounding soil. For example, high groundwater or water remaining in the soil after rain or snow often can infiltrate mainline pipes, joints, service late r a l s, connections, and other p a r t...
