N2 - This paper presents a novel data-driven method for modeling combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in real-time. This method treats CSO event generation as a threshold process that is triggered by increasingly intense rainfall events, and predicts the likelihood of a CSO given input conditions using a Bayesian network. The fusion of relevant data from multiple agencies into a unified data stream in real time is described, and a hierarchical modeling strategy is proposed that will facilitate the exploration of the causes of CSOs and direct research into the adaptive management of combined sewer systems using the Chicago wastewater system as a case study.
