Abstract:

This paper discusses use of the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), with the EXTRAN block as the hydraulic transport mechanism, as a tool for developing a facilities plan for abating the impacts of 42 combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in Portland, Marine. The authors' strategy involved developing and calibrating a combined sewer model for assessing the system, planning and implementing a flow monitoring program, and using the results of the monitoring program to revise and enhance the final model. A description of modeling strategies adopted and insights gained from using SWMM and EXTRAN are presented.
