Characterization of Solids Transferred into Sewer Trunks during Wet Weather

The paper describes the choice of parameters used to characterise sewer sediments in trunk sewers. Different sampling and measurement methods are compared for a number of sites. The sampling arrangement in the BEQUIGNEAUX retention basin, situated in Bordeaux, is described as an example of the metho...

Description
Summary:The paper describes the choice of parameters used to characterise sewer sediments in trunk sewers. Different sampling and measurement methods are compared for a number of sites. The sampling arrangement in the BEQUIGNEAUX retention basin, situated in Bordeaux, is described as an example of the methods used. The first results of this study are reported in terms of size, vertical settling velocity and density of suspended solids. There is also a report on the reduction in pollution obtained by settlement of solids.
