The entire curb length is often not available for sweeping due to the presence of cars and other obstacles.

The name of the street sweeping operation is a primary key referenced when street sweeping operations are scheduled in management.sch or lum.dtl. All names in the sweep.ops file must be unique.

The removal efficiency of street sweeping is a function of the type of sweeper, whether flushing is a part of the street cleaning process, the quantity of total solids, the frequency of rainfall events and the constituents considered. Removal efficiency can vary depending on the constituent being considered, with efficiencies being greater for particulate constituents. The removal efficiencies for nitrogen and phosphorus are typically less than the solid removal efficiency (Pitt, 1979).

Because SWAT+ assumes a set concentration of nutrient constituents in the solids, the same removal efficiency is in effect used for all constituents.
