Estimation of infiltration and inflow due to precipitation in a sewage basin
Saman Belizario Broering,

Abstract:Extraneous flows to sewer networks can occur underground (infiltration) or in the routing of rainwater (inflow). Infiltration in these networks is often inevitable, leading to system overloads and causing overflows. The range of values suggested by the Brazilian standard for the infiltration coefficient is quite broad, which may result in the adoption of elevated or inaccurate values, leading to imprecise sizing and consequent expenses and problems that could be predicted or avoided. Sizing problems can lead t… Show more
