Urban wet-weather flows : sources of fecal contamination impacting on recreational waters and threatening drinking water sources / J. Marsalek and Q. Rochfort.: En13-5/03-193E-PDF

"Fecal contamination is found frequently in urban waters as a result of discharges of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, combined sewer overflows (CSOs), sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), and urban stormwater. While the fecal contamination of WWTP effluents is well recognized and considered in the design of treatment and siting of effluent outfalls, wet-weather flow discharges (CSOs, SSOs and stormwater) have not been addressed so far to a similar extent. However, wet-weather flows often contaminate receiving waters and need to be considered in planning the protection of recreational waters and sources of drinking water"--Abstract.
