I am interested in finding urban runoff water quality studies, preferably using SWMM. I am working with urban runoff data with continuous flow and rainfall data (2-10 min temporal resolution, 10-30 ha catchments) and water quality data of some common pollutants (TSS, TP, TN, COD) from both wet weather and dry weather flow. I'd be happy to find examples about model calibration (either event-based or continuous modelling) using similar kind of water quality data (flow based sampling, often several samples per event). Also good review papers about the topic are warmly welcome!
Hi Nora,
see attached file, it will also give you leads in literature and names of researchers active in this field.

Dear Nora, can you please explain what you mean with “urban storm water quality modelling”, in “dry weather flow”. Are you thinking about combined systems? If yes, what do you think that should really be done with respect to these drainage systems? Complementarily, see also the RG discussion
https://www.researchgate.net/post/In_Wastewater_Engineering_is_still_acceptable_old_combined_systems_or_should_all_these_systems_be_converted_to_separate_systems
Thank you very much for the answers so far and the publications I've received both here and privately!
Antonio, I am working with data from separate sewer systems and I have water quality data from rainfall (and snowmelt) periods (=wet weather) and from the baseflow between events (=dry weather). I am not sure yet what to do with my data, but I want to experiment with SWMM and try its water quality modeling component. Just a note regarding your question (although I am not familiar with combined systems): In Finland we have a rather low proportion of combined systems (less than 10% of the total length of pipe sewer systems). Here since about 1970's separate systems became the main type of sewer systems - this was a good solution because we have avoided the CSO problems of more southern Europe where combined systems are much more common. However, I think it's becoming more and more evident that even runoff from separate sewer systems should not be conveyed untreated to receiving waters. Probably the best solution for this is the development of LID/SUDS systems for stormwater runoff. In a cold climate such as Finland, a big issue with combined systems is that the cold snowmelt runoff during spring disturbs the treatment processes at wastewater treatment plants.
Dear Nora,
I am attaching two papers that can be useful for your work. They also have cohompriensive references that may help you.
Best,
Angela
