Two Pass InfoSewer Solution

Two Pass InfoSewer Solution The d/D you are Mapping is from the 1 st pass or the solution in which the manhole loads are calculated and the program estimates the flow in the links – the flow gives the value of d/D which you are mapping.   The HGL plot is plotting the adjusted d/D which is the result of the 2 nd pass of the solution, this pass estimates backwater, surcharge and pressure and often the value of the Adjusted d/D is higher than the 1 st pass value of d/D.   The Adjusted d/D is a better way of finding those pipes that are more than 0.75 full.

Massive Flooding In Alberta Canada Forces 75,000 To Flee By  Rebecca Leber  posted from  Climate Progress  on Jun 22, 2013 at 3:00 pm Alberta, Canada. Credit: AP Parts of Alberta, Canada were hit by extreme flooding the size of New York State on Friday, forcing  75,000 to evacuate their homes. Hit by heavy rain, people have abandoned their cars and low-lying residences in flooded waters Mayor Naheed Nenshi described as “an ocean at the moment.” Across the world, cities in Germany have also been wrecked by flooding — one estimate puts the damage as high as  $7.7 billion.  Climate science explains that global warming leads to a 5 to 10 percent increase in rainfall, and subsequently leads to a  higher risk of flooding . As Climate Central  notes  in its reporting on the Calgary floods: “A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change  on June 9 found that flood frequency as well as the number of people at risk of inundation from flood events are both likely to increase as the world

How to Find Duplicate Links in InfoSWMM

1. Make a table of all  From Nodes for all of the links using Conduit Information, 2. Made an output DBF table using the summary command of the Open Attribute Table of Arc Map 3. Joined the output DBF table to the Junction layer 4. Labeled all Nodes that had more than one outgoing link 5. You can see on the screen the possible duplicate links and decide which are valid and which are not allowed How to Find Duplicate Links in InfoSWMM pic.twitter.com/BUJvhIkGnd — RDickinson (@RDickinson) June 23, 2013
