    Overview

    ABSTRACT

    Storm overflows are very diverse according to their function and typology in a combined sewerage network. Indeed these devices are designed and operated in extremely varied forms which enables them to ensure hydraulic functioning for highly variable topographic and hydraulic features. The choice and diagnostic of an overflow thus require a precise analysis of its environment and operating context. After having introduced several definitions and terms, this article presents the general typology and the existing configurations.

     INTRODUCTION

    Storm overflows are a very common type of structure in combined sewer systems, i.e. those with a single collection system for wastewater and stormwater. To make this type of collection system compatible with the requirements of protecting the receiving environment and protecting the city against flooding, storm overflows are designed and operated in a wide variety of ways, which we seek to clarify in this report, notably by proposing a terminology.

    We also define a general typology of the many possible weir configurations, referred to in the solutions proposed in the [W 6 902] file, for storm weir modeling and metrology applications.
