The main research activities of the SPN-Group within the area of combined sewer overflows focus on investigations and modeling related to the quality of the wet weather discharges and the corresponding effects of the pollutants on the receiving environment. These “interfacial” aspects of the pollutants aim at a basic and conceptual understanding of the nature of the overflows and the conditions under which they occur directed towards the impacts on the receiving water bodies.

The following are selected publications in books, international journals and proceedings:
