Abstract
The effect of source control measures on the design of combined sewer systems can in most cases only be correctly assessed using the intrinsic temporal rainfall variability, because long antecedent periods can have an important influence. A conceptual model was built to assess the effect of rainwater tanks on the rainfall runoff using long term historical rainfall series. The outflow of the rainwater tank model is converted to equivalent rainfall series. Based on intensity/duration/frequency-relationships (IDF-relationships) for this equivalent flattened rainfall, modified design storms are developed.
