German term

a.a.R.d.T

German to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology sewage
The context is sewage/wastewater.

Von den detailierten Untersuchungen ergibt sich folgende Situation:

Schmutzwasserzufluss Qs
Fremdwasserzufluss Qt
84% Wert Qd(TW)
max Abfluss (RW)

Entsprechend den **a.a.Rd.T.* ist Qm=Qs+Qt= 935 l/s anzusetzen und entspricht damit den in 1994 beobachteten Mischwasserzuflüssen.

I need to know what the abbreviation stands for and then an English translation.

Steffen You're right! Not "misplaced!"
Steffen Walter Dec 5, 2002:
...then it's not a misplaced but a missing period/full stop after R.
Non-ProZ.com Dec 5, 2002:
ahaaa! If so, Kalimeh (highly likely) then there is a misplaced period iin the original. No WONDER I couldn't figure out what Rd. stood for.

Peer comment(s):
agree Armorel Young : Yes. Translate it as something like "according to the generally accepted formula (or rule)"?
