Abstract
In most cases, sewers and wastewater treatment plants were, and still are, designed and operated based on an empirical approach that takes into account a fixed level of permissible discharge into receiving water bodies. According to the “old” empirical rules -that are nevertheless still applied unchanged at a large number of facilities-, the fraction of incoming flow exceeding the maximum design flow (usually 2–6 times the average dry weather flow, depending on local regulations) is diverted to the receiving waters without treatment, in order not to “upset” the ongoing biological processes.
