An apparatus for equalization of overflow water and urban runoff in receiving bodies of water is disclosed. A tank separated from the body of water is arranged so that the tank volume or parts thereof are alternatingly filled by polluted water and by water from said body of water. This tank is formed by generally vertical walls extending from the surface of the body of water to its bottom and is divided into a series of compartments by means of similar intermediate walls. The compartments are in communication in sequence through apertures in the intermediate walls. A first compartment communicates with an inlet for polluted water, and a last compartment communicates with the body of water surrounding the tank. |
