Description of the data | The online monitoring station was equipped with online sensors for turbidity, flow rate and automatic sampling (MAXX GmbH) during storm events. A wedge sensor recorded velocity by the cross-correlation method and water level by a pressure cell (POA sensor, NIVUS) to measure discharge. A solitax-sc turbidity sensor (Hach) measured turbidity with a time resolution of 1 min. Stormwater samples were collected during storm events using the automatic sampler and were analysed for: total suspended solids (TSS), their fine fraction (<63 µm, FSS), coarse fraction (>63 µm, CSS), organic matter content using the Loss on Ignition (LOI%) method and elemental composition using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, PerkinElmer). | |

Abstract of the dataset | This repository presents a dataset comprising online monitoring turbidity and discharge data measured with a high temporal resolution at the stormwater outlet of a small urban catchment in Dresden, Germany. Additionally, for selected rainfall-runoff events, the following data were produced: total suspended solids concentrations and their particle size distribution (<63 µm: fine particles; >63 µm: coarse fraction), their elemental composition and organic content. The online monitoring data covers January 2018 - August 2022, whereas the sampled data were collected during September 2018 - 2021. These data are optimal for exploring flush dynamics, transport patterns of particles and particle-bound pollutants, and for developing and validating particle transport formulations in urban drainage models. This will allow a better identification of stormwater treatment and management strategies to effectively address different pollutant flushes, to support regulatory decision-making, and to minimise the impact of stormwater discharges on the receiving water bodies. | |

Project abstract | The aim of research in UWRM is to identify the relevant compound fluxes and the interaction between drainage network and ecosystem. This is the solid basis from where sustainable management approaches for the concerning environmental compartments can be developed. To gain that necessary information on at a high temporal resolution, the working group on Urban Hydrology of the Institute for Urban Water Management established an integrated monitoring network in the city area of Dresden. Compound fluxes in the sewers as well as the receiving waters are monitored with state of the art technologies to give detailed insights in complex runoff and discharge processes as well as on (stress) conditions in the adjacent streams. | |
