Ten years of cumulative precipitation January 28, 2013 to  Mapping  by  Nathan Yau We've all seen rain maps for a sliver of time. Screw that. I want to see the total amount of rainfall over a ten-year period. Bill Wheaton did just that in the video above, showing cumulative rainfall between 1960 and 1970. The cool part is that you see mountains appear, but they're not actually mapped.   Source on FlowingData The hillshaded terrain (the growing hills and mountains) is based on the rainfall data, not on actual physical topography. In other words, hills and mountains are formed by the rainfall distribution itself and grow as the accumulated precipitation grows. High mountains and sharp edges occur where the distribution of precipitation varies substantially across short distances. Wide, broad plains and low hills are formed when the distribution of rainfall is relatively even across the landscape. See also Wheaton's video that shows  four years of rain  straight up. Is there m

How To Run the SWMM 5 Console from the SWMM 5 GUI Use the SWMM 5 tools, define the program as the DOS engine or SWMM5.EXE (1), run the tool (2) and see the dos output in the command window of Windows 7 or Windows XP.  It should also be possible to call Matlab and have Matlab call the SWMM 5 program using the SWMM 5 interface.

Outlets in SWMM 5 can have reverse flow Outlets in SWMM 5 can have reverse flow (1) if the downstream head is greater than the upstream head (2), a flap gate (3) will prevent the flow reversal (4).  An outlet can have both positive and negative flow as long as you do not prevent it by having a flap gate.

Arizona Tourist Destination Selects InfoSWMM for Advanced Wastewater Network Modeling and Management Decision Arms Bullhead City with Comprehensive GIS-Centric Solution for Managing its Sewer Infrastructure System Broomfield, Colorado USA, January 22, 2013  — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced that Bullhead City, Arizona, has selected the powerful smart drainage modeling solution  InfoSWMM  to implement system improvements based on the City’s Wastewater Master Plan. The purchase equips Bullhead City Public Works with comprehensive geospatial modeling technology that will allow it to better evaluate and optimize collection system operations and capacity. Bullhead City, a community of 40,000 located 90 miles of south of Las Vegas in west-central Arizona, is a fast-growing regional tourism destination. It currently operates two major wastewater treatment plants, 15 sewer lift stations, and 190 m

Stopping Tolerance in InfoSWMM, H2OMAP SWMM and SWMM5 Internal Units InfoSWMM, H2OMAP SWMM and SWMM 5 share the same underlying dynamic engine code but one small difference is that InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM allows the user to select the node stopping tolerance instead of always using the default SWMM 5 stopping tolerance of 0.0005  feet.  SWMM 5 uses internal units of feet and shows the output in meters if you are using SI units, as does InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM.  The following table shows how the stopping tolerance translates to inches and millimeters in the engine of a US and SI model.   The smaller the tolerance the larger the number of iterations used during the simulation but using a very small tolerance does not always mean a better simulation.  If possible, for example, with pumps it is better to use a small time step and a medium level tolerance – for example 1 millimeter is a good starting  value, but maybe 2 or 3 millimeters may help if you have a continuity error at a pump no

Importing a Link Shapefile into InfoSWMM via GIS Gateway Here is how you map the shapefile pipe fields to the InfoSWMM data fields.  One note, you had two diameter fields (feet and inches) and the feet column was mostly zero so I used the inch column.  Here are the four steps and mapping you need to import all of the data from your shapefile.  You will have to use blockedit and convert the diameter from inches to feet in the DB link table (Step 5 – note there are still three missing pipe diameters). Step 1.  Use the GIS Gateway command and set up the import of the file name, and ID field Step 2. Set up the mapping between the Shapefile fields and InfoSWMM.  We used link offset and the pipe diameter in inches. Step 3 . Load the mapped shapefile Step 4.  The imported data from your shapefile into the DB table of InfoSWMM Step 5  Convert to feet from inches

The BWS is the largest municipal water utility in the state of Hawai‘i and provides safe and dependable water service to over a million residents of O‘ahu. The utility manages an intricate system of 94 active potable water sources, 170 reservoirs, and nearly 2,100 miles of pipeline to deliver approximately 150 million gallons of water a day to nearly every community on the island. “We needed a cost-effective solution that

Here's just one example, from Singapore: RnD.de.Portraits Singapore's Marina Barrage. The Marina Barrage and Reservoir, which opened in 2008, is at the heart of Singapore's two-billion-dollar campaign to improve drainage infrastructure, reduce the size of flood-prone areas, and enhance the quality of city life. It has nine operable crest gates, a series of enormous pumps, and a ten-thousand-hectare catchment area that is roughly one-seventh the size of the country. The system not only protects low-lying urban neighborhoods from flooding during heavy rains; it also eliminates the tidal influence of the surrounding seawater, creating a rainfed supply of freshwater that currently meets ten percent of Singapore's demand. More over, by stabilizing water levels in the Marina basin the barriers have produced better conditions for water sports. The Marina's public areas, which include a sculpture garden, a water-play space, a green roof with dramatic skyline vistas, and the
