Abstract
The sewer system for the Greater Copenhagen area covers an area of 4460 ha contributing to the
runoff. The total area serves in total 8 municipalities, however it is dominated by the areas in the City of
Copenhagen proper. The catchments merge into interceptors, which feed two large treatment plants. The
effluent from the two treatment plants discharges during dry weather to Øresund, the sound between
Denmark and Sweden. This large system has been analysed for selected scenarios with respect to handling
runoff in an optimal way in order to minimise the loads on the most sensitive receiving waters and optimising
treatment plant performance.
