CoUDlabs_WP8_T812_Deltares_001. Measuring sediment deposits in gully pots from temperature signals

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.

The experiments were designed to further develop an innovative methodology for measuring sediment bed deposits in UDS based on temperature data analysis (Anta et al., 2022; Regueiro-Picallo et al., 2023). Particularly, the aim of these campaigns was to test the application of this methodology in gully pots for measuring sediment build-up. For this purpose, we focused on understanding the heat transfer processes in gully pots in relation to the volume of bed deposits. Thus, the aim of this research is to estimate or at least obtain proof for the presence/absence of sediments by analyzing the differences between the temperature time series measured in the water phase and at the bottom of bed deposits. Results from the experimental campaigns will help to develop new technologies to estimate accumulation in urban drainage infrastructures.

The data are described so that others can use and reproduce.
