SWMM uses a node-link scheme to represent storm sewer networks and the movement of water through such a network is governed by the mass and momentum conservation equations for conduits…

In 1D storm sewer network modeling, it is important to understand how a modeling tool handles the system flooding or overflowing which will impact HGL and flow calculations in the…
The modified puls storage routing technique is widely used to size a detention basin by routing inflow hydrographs (Figure 1). The two unknowns, O2 and S2 , can be solved…
Even if 2D modeling by XPSWMM, PCSWMM, HEC-RAS, and InfoWorks has become popular these days, 1D modeling still holds its ground on storm water management and flooding study due to…
Head Losses (or energy losses) associated with conduits in a storm sewer system include pipe friction losses and minor losses. Pipe friction losses are normally solved by Manning’s equation, while…
A DEM, before it can be used for watershed delineation, often needs to be reconditioned and pre-processed by “filling” any depressions or sinks (an area lower than its surroundings) to…
TauDEM, developed by Utah State University is a set of tools to extract and analyze hydrologic information from topography as represented by a DEM. TauDEM is a set of standalone command…
A storm water pump station (Figure 1) is needed in low areas of a drainage system where drainage by gravity is not possible, such as a depressed roadway segment. Pump…
A previous post introduced the design of a detention basin using Modified Rational Method in HydroCAD, and this post is about detention basin design using SCS hydrology in HydroCAD. The…
After a detention basin (a pond in HydoCAD) is added to the model and its storage is defined as explained in here, the next step is to model and design…
