 INTRODUCTION

Storm overflows are a very common type of structure in combined sewer systems, i.e. those with a single collection system for wastewater and stormwater. To make this type of collection system compatible with the requirements of protecting the receiving environment and protecting the city against flooding, storm overflows are designed and operated in a wide variety of ways, which we seek to clarify in this report, notably by proposing a terminology.

We also define a general typology of the many possible weir configurations, referred to in the solutions proposed in the [W 6 902] file, for storm weir modeling and metrology applications.
