CoUDlabs_WP8_T812_Deltares_002. Measuring transport and retention dynamics of urban litter in gully pots

This dataset contains the results of the experimental campaign and how data were collected on the the Co-UDlabs Work Package 8 (Joint Research Activity 3): Improving resilience and sustainability in urban drainage solutions; Task 8.1: Development of consensus on measurement of hydraulic and water quality performance of urban drainage technologies; Subtask 8.1.2: Development of scalable measurement protocols to assess the pollutant retention and release potential of urban drainage structures. The experimental campaign was funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101008626. These investigations describe the transport capacity of different urban rainfall-induced flow conditions and sediment accumulation levels for transporting urban macro-litter solids (buoyant and non-buoyant) through gully pot structures. These experiments have been used to design a novel methodology to assess transportability of discrete macro-litter elements in hydraulic structures. Results from the experimental campaigns will help to develop new technologies to estimate litter accumulation in urban drainage infrastructures. The data are described so that others can use and reproduce.
