Rainfall Requirements for Wet Weather Sewer Evaluation
Important engineering decisions are made every day regarding sanitary sewer, combined sewer, and storm sewer systems, and often involve the use of rainfall data. Although these decisions require significant capital expenditures and are designed to protect life, health, and property, the integrity of rainfall measurements supporting these decisions is often overlooked. The authors have examined guidance from a variety of professional organizations in engineering, water resources, and meteorological fields and have consolidated their findings into a concise, flexible, technically based approach to obtain high-quality rainfall data to support sound engineering evaluations and decisions. The reliability of rainfall data depends on four concurrent factors: selecting suitable rain gauge technologies and products, selecting an appropriate rain gauge density, selecting effective rain gauge locations, and properly maintaining rain gauges once installed. Best management practices in each of these areas are discussed, along with examples of their application within the United States and abroad.
