Rural versus Urban hydrology – Any similarities?
A natural river stream versus a leaking pipe?
Observed daily discharge in Kungsbackaån
Rural versus Urban hydrology - similarities
Discharge in Kungsbackaån Inflow to treatment plant
Observed daily inflow to treatment plant
Seasonal variation for a year
Rural versus Urban hydrology - differences
Connected impervious areas
Indirect effect from precipitation
Faster response to rain!
Observed high resolution inflow (l/s) to treatment plant
a 24-hour zoom
The problem
• Yearly volume >50% of total wastewater volume
• Daily extremes >90% of total wastewater volume
• Growing problem (+100 % over 50 years in some areas)
• Overloaded wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)
• Sewer overflow of untreated wastewater to receiving waters
• Overloaded sewer networks with flooding problems
• High energy consumption for pumping stations

Sources to hydrological flow components in sewer systems
Affected by: • Condition of sewer system • Type of system and layout • Topography • Geology • Meteorology
As for rural hydrology
Can a lumped conceptual modeling approach be useful?

To conclude
Urban hydrology has many similarities with rural hydrology – but more complex!
Lumped/conceptual models are useful to: analyze sources for hydrological flow components distinguish between effects of measures and hydrological variations evaluate climate change effects
Physical/distributed models are needed for: predictions of physical changes analyses of spatial differences deeper analyses of physical behavior
