Combined sewer - Clarification
Combined sewer - Clarification
(OP)
Does sewer network separation increase peak flow rate? e.g. Installing a new stormwater sewer next to an existing sanitary (combined) sewer.
More precisely, if and only if the existing combined sewer is not able to carry a certain peak flow, installing a stormwater sewer that has the capacity to do so next to it and connecting it togueter somewhere downstream will increase the flow rate at this particular point (connection)?
This seems trivial to me... But I got mixed interpretation.

But if you have excess capacity downstream and a restriction upstream, than adding another pipe upstream could increase the flow rate throughout both reaches.
