1. 1 Autmonet 2007 Workshop 4 sept. Michel Moens

2. 2 The effect of sewer overflows and the treatment plant on the waterquality of the Dommel at Eindhoven the Netherlands About the project Monitoring plan Monitoring devices Monitoring in practice Data collection en data management Results Future

3. 3 Participants Waterboard the Dommel (monitoring surface water) Municipality of Eindhoven (monitoring sewers, rainfall) IMD (maintenance) vd Linden Pomptechniek (maintenance) ARCADIS (data management)

4. 4 Planning 2000-2015 disconnecting paved area 2004-2006 cleaning up sand-catch devices in surface water 2006 increase capacity of treatment plant to 18.000 m3/h 2007-2008 storage settling tank Kosmoslaan, 8.000 m3 2009-2010 increase internal storage + RTC

5. 5 Objectives Knowing the effects of the measures on the pollutant discharge To get insight in the effects of the pollutant discharge on the surface water quality

14. 14 Sampling units surface water WTP: start sampling on waterlevel sewer overflow V. vd Heuvellaan (-25 cm) Soeterbeek: start sampling on oxygen level effluent WTP Kerkhoef: start sampling on waterlevel sewer overflow Kosmoslaan (-25 cm) Telemetry: SMS Problems: -Finding locations (private properties, electricity) -SMS signal, SIM-cards -Time-frequency sampling -Organization bottles  lab -Vandalism

15. 15 Sampling units overflow water V. vd Heuvellaan : start sampling when waterlevel 50 cm below weir level Kosmoslaan : start sampling when waterlevel 50 cm below weir level Telemetry: direct connection Problems: -Changing location (SST) -Choice of sampling volume (100  500 m3) -1 liter not enough for analyzing COD, BOD, SS, Zn, Cu, P-tot, N-Kj (combining 2 bottles) -Too high waterlevel (too small pipe diameter) -Sampling time too slow (15 min  3 min) -Handling the sampling unit (different persons) -Need for extra bottles (delivery time) -Organizing bottles  lab

16. 16 WS316 INLINEcut (ODS) in-line cutting device pump sampling pump starts 10 cm below first sample moment

17. 17 Oxygen meters Telemetry: stand alone Location: nearby watermills (cooperation private-public) Sampling time: 5 minutes Endress & Hauser, Licquisys-s com 223 (optical) Problems: -Not in the middle of the river (too expensive) -Floating material (polluted sensors) -Angry miller (took out the device) -Maintenance (1x pro 3 mnth  1x pro 1 mnth) -Molest (city centre) -Changing keys (unknown)
