Description:
The paper gives a basic overview of the U.S. government's involvements in developing countermeasures for the abatement of combined sewer overflow pollution. batement or prevention of pollution stormwater runoff and combined sewer overflows is one of the most challenging areas in the sanitary engineering field. he full impacts of "marginal" pollution, particularly that caused by uncontrolled overflows, must be recognized now and planning initiated to improve sewerage system efficiencies and bring all wastewater flows under control. fforts devoted to improving sewerage systems will pay significant dividends in complete control of metropolitan wastewater problems and pollution abatement. esearch and development being undertaken cooperatively by federal, state, and local entities, including industry and the academic world, are making available important answers on the most efficient and least costly methods needed to restore and maintain water resources for maximum usefulness to man.
