The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of infiltration and inflow (I=I) during dry weather onreducing pollution loads to discharged areas in combined sewer overflows (CSOs). Especially,we focused on effectsof I/I on CSOs in high-density urban areas and after sewer rehabilitation. A stormwater management model wasused to simulate the occurrence frequency of CSOs and the reductive effect of pollution loads. SWMMsimulationsdemonstrated that a decrease in I=I to below 5% resulted in a reduction to five events of occurrence frequency andreductions in chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) loads of 14.9 and 20.4%, respectively. Wefound that I=I reduction during dry weather has the effects of (1) reducing the occurrence frequency of the pollutionload of CSOs, (2) increasing the capacity of collection, and (3) decreasing the concentration of pollutants. Inconclusion, controls on I=I and transport capacity are significantly useful tools in reducing the pollution loads. |
