The historically African-American Rogers-Eubanks community straddles unincorporated boundaries of two municipalities in Orange County, North Carolina, and predates a regional landfill sited along its border in 1972. Community members from the Rogers-Eubanks Neighborhood Association (RENA), concerned about deterioration of private wells and septic systems and a lack of public drinking water and ...

Sewer systems are an essential part of sanitation infrastructure for protecting human and ecosystem health. Initially, they were used to solely convey stormwater, but over time municipal sewage was discharged these conduits transformed them into combined sewer (CSS). Due climate change rapid urbanization, no longer sufficient overflow in wet weather conditions. Mechanistic data-driven models ha...

The management of urban sewer systems requires data about variability and discharge of typical waste water sources in urban catchments. Especially the infiltration of groundwater and the inflow of surface water (I/I) are important for decisions about rehabilitation and operation of sewer networks. In this paper a new methodology is presented which supports the identification and quantification ...

This paper describes the first radar based forecast of flow and/or water level in sewer systems in Denmark. The rainfall is successfully forecasted with a lead time of 1-2 hours, and flow/levels are forecasted an additional 1⁄2-11⁄2 hours using models describing the behaviour of the sewer system. Both radar data and flow/water level model are continuously updated using online rain gauges and on...

Fiber media filtration for combined sewer overflow (CSO) treatment was evaluated in this work. Pilot-scale experiments of CSO involve seven layers that form radial-type fiber filters. The filter characterized using analysis techniques and exhibited extremely high hydrophobicity negative charge. results obtained a plant at Tancheon Seoul revealed potential suspended solid, total organic carbon, ...
