This research aims to evaluate the pollution load from combined sewer overflows and its impact on water quality in England’s waterbodies.
Analyzed event duration monitoring data
Assessed discharge consents from wastewater treatment works
Evaluated the frequency of combined sewer overflow events
Examined government actions and infrastructure updates
Increased frequency of combined sewer overflow events correlates with higher pollution loads
Analysis indicates potential risks to water quality in surrounding waterbodies
Findings highlight the urgent need for infrastructure upgrades to mitigate pollution risks

Implication

Analysis reveals pollution risks from combined sewer overflows in England's waterbodies, suggesting needed upgrades to infrastructure.

Abstract

The increasing frequency of Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) has heightened public concern, triggered government action, and driven water authorities worldwide to commit to major infrastructure upgrades. In England, the installation...
