Title: Sewer Network Overflows Description: This learning object explains what unitary system discharges (SSDs) are, the negative effects they have on the receiving aquatic environment, and how these discharges can be reduced. It also distinguishes the inflow of a sewer from the wastewater overflows that can occur in urban areas. Aguado García, D. (2020). Sewer Network Overflows. http://hdl.handle.net/10251/133860 Automatic description: In this video, the instructor introduces the basic concepts of the sewer network and the problems associated with overflows, distinguishing between inflow and overflows. He explains how the sewer network collects urban wastewater and conveys it to treatment plants for treatment. In dry weather, the flow is manageable, but during heavy rains, stormwater adds to the wastewater flow, increasing the flow and potentially causing overflows that carry pollutants into the environment. It highlights the importance of preventing overflows into the receiving environment through infrastructure such as retention basins and the implementation of sustainable urban drainage techniques. It explains that the network design considers rainfall events of a certain magnitude, but greater-than-anticipated precipitation can produce these polluting events. It illustrates how collectors and manholes operate and highlights the environmental and public health problems posed by overflows. It concludes by highlighting strategies to mitigate them and thanking viewers for their attention.
