A Qualitative Approach to Combined Sewer Overflow Modelling on the WATERVERSE Project

In the UK, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are currently a hot topic, with the UK's water regulator (OFWAT) mandating greater visibility and reporting on such incidents. However, there is often little existing support for this given a historic lack of CSO-related data collection. This paper looks to build a model of water quality to capture different key CSO versus agricultural runoff events and to develop a digital twin for Totnes and swimming areas of the river Dart.
