Upsizing sewer storage

摘要

As many sewer networks around the world struggle to cope in the face of extreme rainfall events, the need for new solutions is becoming increasingly urgent, with traditional means of expanding storage capacity not only costly but also space-intensive. CENTAUR promises to help provide answers. The system, named Most Innovative New Technology of the Year at the 2018 Water Industry Awards, boosts capacity within the sewer network through 'virtual storage', using a gate to control the flow.
