02 — DWF Baseline & Time Series Decomposition

Establishes dry weather flow baselines using STL decomposition, computes RDII for each wet-weather and snowmelt event, and validates results against MECP per-capita flow guidelines.

Key Findings

  • STL decomposition cleanly separates diurnal wastewater patterns from wet-weather RDII events
  • Per-capita DWF validation against MECP guidelines flags plants with chronic baseflow infiltration
  • RDII mass balance checks confirm physically plausible runoff coefficients (1-10% of rainfall entering the sewer)
