abstract = "Large-scale combined sewer systems are susceptible to overflows (CSOs) during heavy storm events. Management strategies that partition water flow into the sewers or nearby waterways may be based on conservative operational rules designed to prevent possible flow instabilities. However, these operations may not effectively utilize system storage capacity for all types of storm events. Real-time adaptation of system operating rules can reduce overflows while continuing to avoid hydraulic conditions that lead to transients and geysers. In this study, realtime genetic algorithm (GA) optimization is evaluated for its success in minimizing CSOs for a test case modeled after a portion of the Chicago Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP).",
