  Sewer Sociology Archives

What do sewer flows tell us about our day? Most sewer flows are characterized by repeatable diurnal patterns that vary among weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Variations are also observed based on land use differences. Other distractions and disruptions of daily life also can be seen as departures from these patterns, and the magnitude of their impact can be investigated.

Sewer sociology
is the study of these patterns and, while often entertaining, has practical applications for sewer design, hydraulic modeling, infiltration and inflow studies, and real-time monitoring and alarming.
