Tackling the challenge
The Water Industry faces an unprecedented challenge - the elimination of storm overflows, often referred to as “spills.” These spills occur in a significant portion of the wastewater network, where combined sewers mix sewage with stormwater runoff from surfaces where rain has fallen. Unfortunately, the increase in rainfall due to climate change, coupled with population growth and more impermeable areas, has pushed rainwater volumes beyond the original design parameters of these sewers.
So what are we looking for?
We want to hear your ideas and solutions to address one or more of the following questions.
Together, these ideas and solutions will empower us to work toward a future with zero spills, benefiting both our environment and our communities.
