Probability based scheduling to optimize sewer maintenance
… Agency) concentrating more on the issue of SSOs (Sanitary Sewer Overflows), sewer failures have been studied much in recent years. This thesis focuses on the blockages of sewer lines, which cause nearly half of the SSOs. A simulation model is developed to analysis efficiency of different …

iWISE: A Framework for Implementation of Intelligent Water Systems
… has been a rise in instances of Combined and Sanitary Sewer Overflows (CSOs and SSOs), among other related problems. These challenges have intensified the impact of sewershed issues on both society and the environment. Fortunately, recent advancements in technology, such as sophisticated …

Optimal sensor placement for sewer capacity risk management
… of untreated sewage that escapes combined sewer pipes each year (US EPA 2004a) and the estimated 40,000 sanitary sewer overflows and 400,000 backups of untreated sewage into basements (US EPA 2001). Failures in wastewater collection systems can be prevented if they can be detected in time …

Understanding sewer infiltration and inflow using impulse response functions derived from physics-based models
… and inflow (I&I) are extraneous flow in a sanitary sewer system that originate from surface water and ground water. I&I can overload the sewer system and wastewater treatment plants, and cause sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) or basement flooding. This flow can account for as much as ten …
