چکیده
Sewer systems that convey both sanitary sewage and storm water through a single pipe are referred to as combined sewer systems (CSSs). In dry weather, the CSS is able to convey all flows to the wastewater treatment facility. During periods of heavy rainfall, however, the capacity of the CSS may be exceeded and an untreated combination of sewage and storm water may discharged directly into a nearby receiving water. These overflow instances are called Combined Sewer Overflows, or CSOs.

Bacterial diversity impacts as a result of combined sewer overflow in a polluted waterway
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. For over a century, organic compounds, heavy metals, and other forms of industrial pollution have disrupted the creek’s environment. The creek is also impacted by discharges from twenty combined sewer ...
متن کاملCombined Sewer Overflow Technology Fact Sheet Alternative Disinfection Methods
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) occur when flows exceed the hydraulic capacity of either the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) or the collection system that transports the combined flow of storm water and sanitary sewage to the WWTP. When an overflow occurs, the excess flows tend to be discharged into a receiving body of water. CSOs typically discharge a variable mixture of raw sewage, industri...

متن کاملEstimation of combined sewer overflow discharge: a software sensor approach based on local water level measurements.
Combined sewer overflow (CSO) structures are constructed to effectively discharge excess water during heavy rainfall, to protect the urban drainage system from hydraulic overload. Consequently, most CSO structures are not constructed according to basic hydraulic principles for ideal measurement weirs. It can, therefore, be a challenge to quantify the discharges from CSOs. Quantification of CSO ...
