What Does SOR Stand For?

SOR stands for Surface Overflow Rate

Surface Overflow Rate (SOR) refers to the measurement of the rate at which water flows over the surface of a treatment system, such as a pond or lagoon. It is expressed in terms of volume per unit area over time, typically in liters per square meter per day. SOR is a critical parameter in water treatment and management, as it influences pollutant removal efficiency, system design, and operational performance. Monitoring SOR helps ensure that treatment processes meet regulatory standards and environmental protection goals.
