Design flow factors using socioeconomic based synthetic wastewater hydrographs for small communities by Elnakar, Haitham Yousri

“…The widely used design peaking factors for sewerage systems are usually related to the population served or the average sewage flow rate ignoring the difference between communities having same population but different socio-economic conditions and water use practice. In this study, a simulation model is developed to generate synthetic wastewater flow hydrographs resulting from a community with specific socio-economic conditions. …”
