Subject:   InfoSWMM (d/D v. Surcharge d/D) What is the difference between the output variables d/D and Surcharge d/D in InfoSWMM and H2OMap SWMM The d/D is calculated as link capacity based on the midpoint depth of water in the link or Link depth/ Link Maximum Depth             Since the depth in the link is restricted to the Maximum Depth the d/D value is always between 0 and 1 The Surcharged d/D is calculated from the end node depths at each end of the link             The two node depths are averaged and the value of Surcharge d/D is the Average Node Depth / Link Maximum Depth , The value of Surcharge d/D varies from 0 to a large number depending on the maximum depths of the nodes and the possible surcharge depth of the nodes The value of d/D is based on the middle of the link and the value of Surcharge d/D is based on the average of the node depths at the end of the link.  They may be and often are different.   However, if you have a Surcharge d/D greater than 1 it will indicate at

Subject:    Reasons A Pump H-Q Curve may be Different than the Design Curve From Allan R. Budris and Water World Actual system H-Q curve not known: The actual current system H-Q curve may be different than the original system design. Once a plant is commissioned and the plant is put in service, the system head begins to change. In the short term, levels change in the tanks and wells, valves open and close, and filter screens become clogged. As maintenance occurs, pipe schedules are changed, equipment is changed and new equipment is added into the system. In the long term, equipment loses efficiency, scale forms on the internal pipe walls and the plant undergoes expansion and contraction. Even when new, the original calculated system curve may differ from the actual system performance due to the assumptions used in the calculation, such as 10 year old pipe. Any pump change should, therefore, start with the development (confirmation) of the true current pumping system “Head-Capacity” cu

Subject:    Storage Nodes in InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM Figure 1 shows how to use the various constants, coefficients and exponents in the Storage or Wet Well data of H2OMAP SWMM.     If you have a Wet Well or Storage Diameter you should convert the Wet Well diameters into an Area with the units of either square feet or square meters.  The computed area will then be a constant or coefficient in the Attribute Browser.  You would only use the exponent or a table of depth and area if the Wet Well area varies with depth.   Figure 1.   Options for Defining a  Storage  Node in  H2OMAP   SWMM  or  SWMM  5

Note:    Water Age in InfoSewer InfoSewer and H2OMAP Sewer has a Water Quality option called Time of Concentration (TOC) or Water Age that allows the modeler to estimate the residence time in his or her Sewer Network.    The use of Water Age is simple, you just pick TOC(AGE) as the Water Quality Constituent in the Quality Tab of Run Manager for an EPS simulation and the program will automatically assign a Water Age of 0 hours to all loading Manholes (Figure 1).    The Water Age is another estimate of the travel time in your network in which travel time is the volume of pipes / the average velocity in each pipe.    You can compute the Water Age for each node and in the middle of each link (Figure 2).   Water Age in InfoSewer by  dickinsonre Note:    Water Age in InfoSewer InfoSewer and H2OMAP Sewer have a Water Quality option called Time of Concentration (TOC) or Water Age that allows the modeler to estimate the residence time in his or her Sewer Network.    The use of Water Age is simp
