Introduction:  This set of blogs uses the 1000 year rainfall/runoff/hydraulics model that you can download at http://swmm2000.com/forum/topics/1000-year-simulation-with-rainfall-in-swmm-5 to show the inner workings of SWMM 5 and by extension InfoSWMM and H2oMap SWMM using a QA/QC version of SWMM 5 with extended graphics.   I always hope that seeing the inner workings of a SWMM 5 feature helps to understand the code, sensitivity and importance of a parameter.   It also helps show sometimes when a parameter is not important.   In this example , the components of the total losses in SWMM 5 which are the infiltration from the pervious area and the evaporation from the impervious and pervious area are shown (Figure 1) Discussion:   The total losses (Figure 1) are: 1.        The infiltration only losses from the pervious area, 2.       Evaporation losses from the pervious and impervious area weighted by areal coverage 3.       The total losses which are the sum of the evaporati

The site of Monday's huge water main break at Frankford and Torresdale Avenues is quiet December 27, 2013. Workers are to begin putting in shoring and excavating down 20 feet to the site of the break. They hadn't started as of 3pm Friday.

Discussion:   In this blog we look at the Rainfall and Pervious Losses for the 100 year period: Generally, it is better to have finer time steps for rainfall and for reporting.    As you can see in Figure 1 we only get pervious runoff when

The image at the bottom shows the rules for Force Mains in InfoSewer and H2OMap Sewer: 1.       Gravity Main 2.      Wet Well 3.      Pump 4.      Chamber Manhole 5.      Force Main  if you have many force mains the node BETWEEN two force mains has to be a Chamber Manhole a.      The error messages for this are now rigorously enforced and they may not  have been in past versions 6.      Loading Manhole 7.      Gravity Main

How to Make a Selection Set from the ICM Compare Command The Steps are: 1.        Use the Compare Tool to compare two Networks 2.       Save the Compared Items to a CSV File 3.       Copy the Node and Links that are different in Excel from the CSV File 4.       Make a Selection Set 5.       Copy the Node and Link ID Names to the Selection Set

New Mapping Feature in InfoSewer and H2OMap Sewer for Unfilled Depth and Surcharge Depth This is a new features in H2OMap Sewer 10.5 SP1, Update 1 and InfoSewer SP1, Update 1.  You can now map the Maximum Unfilled Depth and Maximum Surcharge Depth during the Simulation in Map Display. Unfilled Depth is the depth between the Rim Elevation and the Water Surface in the Manhole – the minimum is zero feet or meters The Surcharge Depth is the Distance between the Rim Elevation and the Water Surface Elevation in the Manhole – it can be positive or negative (negative means the Node is under pressure)

H2OMap SWMM has a new interface to SWMMLive program http://www.innovyze.com/products/swmmlive/ by @Innovyze The AddOn to H2OMap SWMM allows the user to export their current  H2oMap SWMM model to the SWMM Engine of SWMMLive.   1.        You call the AddOn using the Tools AddOn Extension Manager command 2.        The engine data (in SWMM 5 format) is exported to SWMMLive using the Export Model to SWMMLive 3.        You can graph the result of the SWMMLive model using the Diagnose SWMMLive Model Tab  

Guidelines for Help Files and Examples I have written a lot of software and have used a lot of software in my career. I thought it would be good for me to list some guidelines I try to follow when using and making software. I emphasis the word guidelines as I often do not follow these guidelines. Think Wish list when you read guideline. I have actually learned a lot from using software without access to the source code though knowing the source code is always very helpful. 1. Some mention in the help file of the feature – at least some place to start the process of understanding. 2. Help file information to explain the background of the feature and common values for the parameters of the feature, 3. An example of how the feature is used – How do you even get it to work? 4. Rules and sensitivity of the feature – how is this feature linked to other features, what are the rules for using the feature and how sensitive is the feature? 5. An example of the feature along with  6. A

Soffit Level ( pipe technology )   The top point of the inside open section of a pipe or box conduit. The  soffit  is the highest point of the internal surface of a  pipe  or culvert at any cross-section. The  soffit  is also referred to as the  pipe  obvert. So it is not quite the Crown of the Pipe.  Here is an image I found that hopefully explains it better.
