  The sewer system of many historical or holy cities is not well associated with the present need. The managing of the sewer system of such cities is very difficult.

The problem often becomes critical due to heavy rainfall as the gathering usually happens during monsoon. The modeling of the sewer water quantity with a varying population and rainfall is important for simulating the sewer overflow as well as to manage the sewer system. The modeling of the sewer water quality .. Read More»
