Abstract

This report provides wastewater utility managers and consultants with tools to appropriate rainfall-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) flow projection methodologies to help control sanitary sewer overflows and wet weather in general. Criteria needed to the appropriate RDII analysis method are examined. The report contains case studies from three diverse metropolitan areas with a spectrum of available data and RDII composition to assess the applicability of various methods across the country. Published by WERF. 160 pages. Soft cover.

Originally funded as WERF project 97-CTS-8.
