Validation of build-up/wash-off quality models with continuous turbidity data 1: Aquafin, Belgium; 2: University of Ljubljana, Slovenia; 3: University of Bologna, Italy; 4: Fluves, Belgium Build-up/wash-off water quality (WQ) models are frequently used to assess stormwater runoff quality. In this work we explore the possibility of using continuous turbidity data to calibrate and validate such models under realistic conditions. By using continuous data, a much larger amount of rainfall events can be used for calibration than it is feasible with grab samples. The approach shows that the build-up rate used in these conceptual models can vary widely between storm events. The time dependence of the build-up rates from different catchment types and the link with external factors, such as wind speed and traffic volume were investigated. This study shows that emission factors for different vehicle types previously published in the literature can be used to estimate the build-up rate for streets. | |
