Locating illicit connections in storm water sewers using fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing.
TLDR
A newly developed technique using distributed temperature sensing (DTS) has been developed to find illicit household sewage connections to storm water systems in the Netherlands and found that foul water from households or companies entered the storm water system through an illicit sewage connection.About:

TL;DR: The Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) initiative of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) launched in 2003 and concluded by the PUB Symposium 2012 held in Delft (23-25 October 2012), set out to shift the scientific culture of hydrology towards improved scientific understanding of hydrological processes, as well as associated uncertainties and the development of models with increasing realism and predictive power as discussed by the authors.

Double-ended calibration of fiber-optic Raman spectra distributed temperature sensing data
Nick van de Giesen,Susan C. Steele-Dunne,Jop Jansen,Olivier Hoes,Mark B. Hausner,Scott W. Tyler,John S. Selker +6 more
TL;DR: The methodological principles behind the double-ended calibration are presented, together with a set of practical considerations for field deployment, and the results from a field experiment show that with double-end calibration good accuracies can be attained in the field.

Sewage exfiltration as a source of storm drain contamination during dry weather in urban watersheds.
TL;DR: This study is the first to provide direct evidence that leaking sanitary sewers can directly contaminate nearby leaking storm drains with untreated sewage during dry weather and suggests that chronic sanitary sewer leakage contributes to downstream fecal contamination of coastal beaches.

Contamination of stormwater by wastewater: A review of detection methods
TL;DR: It is concluded that while no single method can as yet produce results in a precise, fast and inexpensive way, the use of human waste specific chemical and microbiological markers, and their innovative sampling, offer the way forward.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in stormwater canals and Bayou St. John in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
TL;DR: Samples were collected from two stormwater canals and a recreational urban waterway known as Bayou St. John in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA and analyzed for a range of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and demonstrated the occurrence of PPCPs and EDCs.
