56. SWAN Corner: Wet Weather Measurement Means More Than Scratching The Surface 6/18/2021

    Wet weather is a continuous concern for wastewater utilities. Rain-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) challenges the collection system capacity. It can potentially result in overflows in the collection system and even the wastewater recovery facility (WRF) in extreme cases. These overflows can threaten public health and the environment. Additionally, higher flow volumes associated with wet weather will increase operating costs at the WRF.

57. SWAN Corner: How Regulators And Innovators Are Working Together To Digitize Wastewater Regulations 6/8/2021
