Paper Summary

The article compares separate and combined sewer systems to see which causes more pollution. Both systems have similar overflow issues during wet weather, leading to water pollution. Controlling stormwater and sewage flows together is the best way to reduce overflows and pollution. The use of separate sewer systems may not be the best solution for pollution problems.
