Analysis of the influence of rainfall variables on urban effluents concentrations and fluxes in wet weather

Food and Waterborne Disease in the Greater New York City Area Following Hurricane Sandy in 2012

“…, 34 In Massachusetts, even small-scale flooding is associated with a higher rate of emergency room gastrointestinal complaints, up to 4 days following heavy rainfall events in areas with CSOs 35 . Heavy rainfall was also correlated to diminished water quality in urban areas serviced by CSOs in a recent Canadian study 36 . Despite the high density of CSOs in the study catchment areas, and substantial flooding associated with the Hurricane Sandy storm surge, we detected increased FWBD risk for only older residents of storm areas, intimating the general effectiveness of disaster management during this event.…”

Social-Environmental Analysis for the Management of Coastal Lagoons in North Africa

“…There are three types of effluent affecting lagoons including (i) urban sewage untreated or through a wastewater treatment plants (WWTP); (ii) urban wet weather discharges including rainwater, runoff water, and discharges from separated stormwater system outfalls resulting from rainfall in an urbanized catchment; these flow into the lagoons without passing through a wastewater treatment system (Gooré et al, 2015); and (iii) the industrial effluents through a local or common WWTP. These pressures increase from both urban growth and climate change effects and can lead to a state change by contamination and pollution.…”

Turbidity in Combined Sewer Sewage: An Identification of Stormwater Detention Tanks

“…SS is an important control parameter for river inflow pollution during wet weather. TP and COD are the main pollutants that cause eutrophication and the black odor of water bodies [28], so their concentrations can provide a general indication of the overall level of pollutants. Therefore, turbidity can be used as an identification parameter to selectively collect sewage from combined sewers in wet weather, allowing the stormwater detention tanks with a small capacity to be reasonably used.…”
