AB  - Models that represent the integrated urban drainage system are needed to holistically assess and manage its performance. Furthermore such models should ideally be spatially distributed to support evaluation of individual components and their role within the system. However, due to data constraints and computational costs, high resolution models of the sewer system are unlikely to be applicable when dealing with large scale and complex systems. This work assesses the value of a relatively simple semi-distributed grey-box modelling approach, which, in comparison with a fully distributed approach, decreases supporting data requirements but still aims to provide a reasonable spatial representation of the sewer system and its temporal variability, thus enabling integrated assessment. New methods for characterising uncertainty in flow and pollution load inputs during dry weather conditions are also used. A large urban catchment in Bogotá (Colombia) is used as a case study. Modelled and observed flow and pollutant concentration data demonstrated high apparently random variability of dry weather flow profiles within the sewer system. Against this variability, the effects of in-sewer processes were not identifiable except where backwaters caused particularly high retention times.
