Extreme precipitation and emergency room visits for gastrointestinal illness in areas with and without combined sewer systems: An analysis of Massachusetts data, 2003–2007

CSOs are often caused by heavy precipitation and are expected to increase with increasing extreme precipitation associated with climate change.
