The webcast will provide attendees with a basic understanding of sanitary sewer collection system hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) modeling tools, rainfall and flow monitoring, best practices needed for sewer system capacity assurance evaluation, capital improvement program (CIP) planning, and inflow and infiltration (I/I) reduction and remediation program execution.
The webcast consists of four presentations by utility engineers, industry experts and vendors, that are followed by a question-and-answer discussion. The first presentation will cover rain gauge and flow meter placement, monitoring data collection, data quality review, and the benefits of rain gauge data. The second presentation will provide an overview of H&H modeling procedures and tools with a focus on their practical applications for sanitary sewer collection system evaluation. The third presentation will provide the perspective of HRSD, a large wastewater utility in southeastern Virginia, to illustrate how applying flow monitoring and modeling best practices is helping the utility meet regulatory requirements and make sound and effective investment decisions for the future. The fourth and final presentation will provide insight into how hydraulic models can support utility decision-making. It will showcase an adaptive management approach to KC Water's Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) reduction program and discuss how hydraulic models are used in Kansas City, Missouri to analyze different alternatives to cost-effectively meet Consent Decree requirements.
