TI  - Continuous monitoring in sewer networks an approach for quantification of 
      pollution loads from CSOs into surface water bodies.

AB  - Different approaches for quantification of pollution loads discharged from 
      combined sewer networks into surface water bodies have been observed over the 
      last few years and decades, but a large number of unresolved problems still 
      remain. Many monitoring campaigns have been based on manual or automated spot 
      sampling - with the long known limitations of this method such as sampling errors 
      and errors due to sample conservation, transport and preparation. On the other 
      hand, only recently have sensors became available which are suitable for 
      continuous application in sewer networks. A large number of practical problems 
      still have to be solved before continuous monitoring in sewer networks will be 
      successful. Additionally, most of the applicable sensors are based on surrogate 
      methods which results in a considerable effort for reference measurements for 
      sensor calibration. Finally, it has to be considered that, depending on the sewer 
      network topography, deposition and remobilisation of pollutants varies 
      considerably, which limits the generality of monitoring results and, 
      subsequently, their applicability as a base for the design of storm water tanks 
      or combined sewer overflows (CSO). A monitoring station for continuous monitoring 
      of load discharges from a CSO has been installed and operated for more than one 
      year. The design and equipment of the measurement station, operational 
      experiences and results are given in this paper.
