Real-time control of dissolved oxygen in a stormwater network

Date:

Short abstract. Real-time control may enable stormwater networks to manage stormwater pollution and create optimal conditions for aquatic life. The limited number of real-world case studies has hindered the acceptance and adoption of these autonomous solutions. In particular, no studies have explored the in-situ, real-time control of water quality directly. To that end, we present a novel dissolved oxygen monitoring and control system deployed in a municipal stormwater wetland in Ann Arbor, Michigan, US. This study shows how dissolved oxygen levels are influenced by real-time control, and we discuss the implications of the results to future system-level control studies.

Keywords. Dissolved oxygen, real-time control, stormwater networks
