Short duration intense rainfall causes an increase in rainfall derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) into aging sewer networks, which leads to Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). This study presents a generalised framework for assessing and mitigating the impacts of intense rainfall on sanitary sewer networks. The first part of the proposed framework involves a detailed hydraulic modelling to evaluate the performance of the sewer network. The second part deals with the development of SSO mitigation strategies based on Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) approaches. This paper also demonstrates the application of the first part of the proposed framework for a case study catchment in Melbourne, Australia. The hydraulic performance of the case study sewer network during a wet and a dry year is presented. The analysis found that for the wet year, 11 manholes had sewer overflows, whereas 53 of 57 manholes in the network of 3.2 km had surcharges. Such a study will benefit the water authorities to develop mitigation strategies for controlling SSOs in their sewer systems.

“…Regarding urban drainage networks, flood protection is often only considered using modelling software to help identify areas prone to flooding, or pipes with insufficient hydraulic capacity during heavy rains (Bennis et al, 2003;Jin et al, 2010). Such flooding has serious economic consequences and may also result in casualties.…”

“…The model aims at a definition of several criteria that can be used for the assessment of reliability aspects on the existing sewer system. In Bennis et al (2003) a hydraulic performance index of a sewer network is introduced. Also for combined sewer overflow (CSO) performance assessment, indicator values are defined.…”

In Austria, a cooperative research project including partners of five utilities and three research institutes is in progress dealing with strategic sewer rehabilitation planning. One of the objectives of the research is to define measurable performance indicators (PIs) related to service levels, which can be used at a national, but also at an international scale in accordance with technical standards. Several predefined performance indicators for surcharge, flooding and combined sewer overflow are analyzed using 8 real world and 250 virtual case studies. Among other findings, it is demonstrated that only all-pipe models can be used for a system comparison. This work attempts to generalize PIs, which can be used for different applications, in our case, for prioritizing rehabilitation.
