Rainfall - Thin rainfall

Japanese: 雨水量 - うすいりょう
Rainfall - Thin rainfall

… In principle, sewage is collected by gravity, but when gravity is difficult along the way, relay pumping stations are necessary. In the combined system, when the amount of rainwater exceeds two to three times the amount of sewage on a sunny day, the excess amount of sewage is discharged directly into public waters through the storm drain, and the remainder is led to a treatment plant. Therefore, when there is a lot of rainfall, it is unavoidable that sewage will flow directly into public waters, and recently, especially in urban areas, the amount of water pollution caused by direct discharge during rainy weather can no longer be ignored. For this reason, a review is needed, such as the adoption of a method to temporarily store and treat a portion of the sewage that exceeds the treatment capacity during rainy weather in a storage pond. …

Japanese:

…下水は自然流下で収集することが原則であるが,途中で自然流下が困難な場合に中継ポンプ場が必要となる。合流式では雨水量が晴天時汚水量の2~3倍を超えたときには,その超えた分の下水量を雨水吐きを通じて直接公共水域に放流し残りが処理場に導かれる。したがって,降雨量が多いときには下水が公共水域に直接流入することを避けられず,最近ではとくに都市域で雨天時の直接放流による水質汚濁負荷量が無視できなくなっており,このため雨天時には処理能力を超えた下水の一部分を貯留池に一時的に貯留して処理する方式の採用など,見直しが必要となっている。…
