Definition of Rainfall Derived Infiltration and Inflow (RDII)

Source: EPA SSOAP Tool Box

Extraneous flows, both inflow and infiltration, derived from rainfall. RDII typically includes the fast response component (inflow) and the slow response component (infiltration).

R-Values: % of runoff volume that

enters sewer system

Initial Abstractions and Monthly RTK

Since we want to use 1 set of RTKs, other parameters for those events need to be adjusted Initial abstraction parameters: storage

available for the runoff/infiltration from the rainfall before it reaches the sanitary sewer system. This storage can be due to soil conditions, topography or ponds etc. which would store the flow until its capacity is reached.

Monthly varied RTK to represent the seasonal variation

Over 12 parameters, but can be simplified by focusing on the major parameters

Require both GIM subcatchment parameters and Groundwater infiltration event

Need runoff model for direct inflow (fast responses)

A Quick SummaryTriangular Unit Hydrograph: RTK Widely used Empirical approach (forced curve)

Hydrologic (surface runoff) models: volume and routing Conceptualize the RDII responses as surface runoff inputs Limitation to represent slow response

Ground/Groundwater Infiltration Model (GIM) “complicated”, 12+ parameters, but can be simplified Very effective to simulate inter-event impacts due to antecedent moisture

conditions or a highly attenuated response to rainfall (long tail) Need to combine with a runoff model for direct inflow (fast response)

Storm Events: Historical event: April 6, 2014, large storm (close to 1 year 24 hour) during

dry period Flow monitoring from January to June of 2015 (wet Period) January 4, 2015, largest storm (still less than 1 year 24 hour) captured during the flow

monitoring April 6 to 21, 2015, multiple small storm events (less than 1 year 24 hour) in the wettest month

Summary & Discussion

31

Summary and DiscussionsGIM shows the best results to simulate inter-event impacts due to antecedent moisture conditions or a highly attenuated response to rainfall (long tail)

Selection and application of proper RDII simulation methods need to be tailored to system conditions and modeling objectives

No single RDII prediction method could be universally applicable due to the wide variety of site-specific RDII characterizations.

RDII model can be a highly effective tool in the decision-making process for I/I reduction and remediation programs, but also limited by inherent assumptions and conceptual representations of complex process

All methods require monitored data, important to know your data: limitations, quality etc.

The “state-of-the-art” in RDII modeling practice continues to evolve
