Description:

Combined sewer overflow (CSO) is a significant source of pollution in receiving waters. However, implementing a real-time control scheme operates automatic regulators more efficiently to maximize a collection system's storage, treatment, and transport capacities, reducing the volume and number of CSOs. Real-time control schemes are being used to manage complex urban collection systems around the world, including a demonstration study in Canada for the Quebec Urban Community (QUC) collection system. Funded by the U.S. EPA (under a contract to the ORD) to assess the use of real-time control schemes, the QUC study evaluated the effectiveness of three schemes in managing CSOs.
