Abstract
A wide range of water quality problems, including deterioration of ecological conditions in rivers, are caused by direct discharges from sewers and/or combined sewer overflows (CSO) (Falconer 1992). This practice started to create major problems in the first decades of the twentieth century, especially with respect to oxygen conditions in rivers and reservoirs. Suspended solids discharged from sewer systems cause sedimentation in rivers, usually at not well known locations, affecting the riverine habitat. In a small creek, a sudden increase of discharge, resulting from a storm overflow, will wash out organisms and plants.
