<jats:p>Impacts from combined sewer systems on receiving waters are heavily polluting a lot of small river ecosystems. A simulation model which can be used to predict the development of water quality after combined sewer overflows and other impacts from the urban drainage system has been developed. This model works with hydrodynamic flow calculation because it is applied in a system of small wetland creeks with nonstationary flow conditions. The numerical solution of the differential equations is described as well as calibration results. It is shown that water quality simulation based on the one-dimensional mass transport equation is possible for nonstationary flow conditions and is going to become very useful in urban drainage planning.</jats:p>
