  • Natural Streams Entering Combined Sewer Systems Geoffrey Lenat Design Research Fall 2014
    Natural Streams Entering Combined Sewer Systems Geoffrey Lenat Design Research Fall 2014 Abstract I am interested in locating natural streams that have been diverted into combined sewer systems. I want to research methods of reducing the amount of water entering the combined sewer system, especially in instances where streams are contributing to sewer flow during dry weather. I will begin my research by looking at historic maps showing natural stream routes that now enter combined sewer areas. I will look for points where surface streams still exist, the size of their watershed, and their entry point into the sewer system. I am hoping to discover situations where storm water entering the combined sewer system from a large watershed can be diverted and separated from the combined sewer system. This type of storm water diversion could significantly reduce combined sewer overflow.
