Minimizing Combined Sewer Overflows with Online Model-Predictive Reinforcement Learning

This paper addresses the challenges posed by urban stormwater runoff in light of increased urbanization and climate change, which strain traditional stormwater infrastructure. It focuses on mitigating Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) by maximizing urban runoff storage in stormwater tunnels during Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) capacity overloads.
