  2. Presentation structure Introduction and aims Case study data Methodology Results Conclusions and Further Work

  3. Introduction • CSOs are common assets in the UK’s combined urban drainage system • Designed to discharge excess water during heavier rainfall events directly to a receiving watercourse • Potential for unconsented spill events and pollution at CSO • Possible causes include downstream blockage • This work investigates a data driven method for performance assessment to tackle this problem

  4. Background and objectives • Increasing amounts of hydraulic field data from wastewater networks are being collected via monitors and telemetry systems alongside higher quality weather data • Standard deterministic models require understanding of the hydrological and hydraulic processes to predict performance of the sewer network • Previous work (Kurth et al. 2008, Guo and Saul 2011) has explored using Artificial Neural Networks with CSO depth and rain gauge data to predict future depth • This work incorporates rainfall radar data for a case study

  5. Case study Qs Qi Qc • CSO is terminal flow control to a treatment works at the bottom of a steep combined urban drainage catchment (~20 km² area) • Water level data within the CSO was recorded using an ultrasonic depth monitor (with 100% signifying the spill level) and rainfall intensity data (mm/hr) from 20 rainfall radar pixels, with a resolution of 1 km² (15 min resolution for six month period) 100 %

  6. Case study • Schematic with rainfall radar squares: river / canal overlay (blue), urban blocks (grey) and tree areas (green). 1 430 2 3 429 4 6 9 5 8 7 428 14 10 13 11 12 427 18 15 17 19 16 20 426 CSO 395 396 397 398 399 400 401

  7. Example of relationship Time delay due to storm runoff arriving at CSO chamber

  8. Correlation • Used to investigate the lags between different rainfall radar squares and the CSO depth to select model inputs • Serial correlation is a measure of the similarity of a variable with a lagged version of itself – used for depth The correlation values decrease gradually with increasing lag time

  9. Correlation • Cross-correlation is a measure of the similarity of two variables (signals) as a function of a time lag between them – used on CSO depth and rainfall data • Maximum indicates the point in time where the signals are best aligned: either lag -4 or -5 • The larger maximum correlation squares were 1, 3, 6 and 7 • Delay of -5 was observed in the far western grid squares (4, 5 and 10).

  10. Artificial Neural Network • Parallel computational models consisting of densely interconnected adaptive processing units which transform a set of inputs into a set of outputs • Universal function approximators • Static architectures can be used to make a time series prediction • Turns a temporal sequence into a spatial pattern encoded on the input layer of the network using ‘sliding window’ • No explicit reference to the temporal nature of time. • This work uses a straightforward static ANN: a single layer feed-forward network with single output • Can be trained with ADALINE rule or Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse

  11. Training and testing • Correlation analysis helps to select the lags • Rainfall intensity parameter U was always one data step ahead of the chamber water depth parameter Y • Prediction 1 to 5 time steps ahead (up to 1 hr 15 mins) • Six month data set bisected into training and testing sets containing both dry and wet weather periods • Various ANN models applied Model Predicted CSO Chamber Water depth ‘n’ time steps forward

  12. Results • One time step ahead prediction for unseen test data

  13. Results • Increase in test error as prediction forecast horizon (p) increases • Less than 5% error for predictions 5 time steps ahead (75 minutes) for unseen data • This improves on previous work which showed less than 5% error for 3 time steps ahead prediction (rain gauges with 5m sampling) but increased above this further into the future.

  14. Results • ANN-1 predicting chamber depth one hour in future – spilling after rainfall Prediction output shown four time steps advanced

  15. Conclusions • For the case study, chamber depth was found to be at a correlation maximum with rainfall radar at a lag of 60 to 75 minutes • An ANN model trained with the pseudo-inverse rule to learn the response to rainfall was shown to be capable of providing prediction of CSO depth with less than 5% error for predictions 5 time steps ahead (75 minutes) for unseen data • The tool offers the potential benefit of early detection of unexpected or abnormal performance behaviour and the identification of various failure modes in both dry and wet weather conditions thus enabling pollution incidents to be managed more proactively

  16. Future work • The water utility company is exploring a wider roll out of daily download for CSO assets and a six month project to develop an automated online pilot system to incorporate rainfall radar data will shortly commence • Online data processing could allow the prediction of CSO failures (unconsented spill events) much earlier - potentially in real time • Possible deviations between predicted and measured performance signify anomalies which could be highlighted using fuzzy logic, Bayesian inference systems or a BED • There is significant potential for application to other sewerage asset types such as Detention Tanks and Sewer Pumping Stations with a view to enabling wider network performance visibility.
