EPA Releases Climate Assessment Update to National Stormwater Calculator WASHINGTON –Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released phase II of the National Stormwater Calculator and Climate Assessment Tool package. The updated calculator includes future climate vulnerability scenarios. The calculator, a part of President Obama’s Climate Change Action Plan, is a desktop application that estimates the annual amount of stormwater runoff from a specific location. The calculator now includes changes in seasonal precipitation levels, the effects of more frequent high-intensity storms, and changes in evaporation rates based on validated climate change scenarios by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. “Climate change threatens our health, our economy, and our environment,” said Gina McCarthy, EPA Administrator. “As part of the President’s Climate Action Plan, this tool will help us better prepare for climate impacts by helping build safer, sustainable, and more resi

Surface Ponding and its Impact on Irregular Channels in SWMM5 A few considerations to think about when you are modeling natural channels or irregular channels in SWMM 5: 1. The Maximum depth is limited to the Transect Highest minus the Lowest Elevation 2. If the Maximum depth is reached during the simulation any excess water from the upstream node is either stored at the upstream node or lost as flooded water 3. If the excess water is stored it means you are using the Surface Ponding option in SWMM 5 4. If you using the Surface Ponding option then the depth at the upstream node will increase based on the Excess Flow / Pond Area 5. The Irregular channel is restricted to full flow but if the HGL at the upstream head rises you can get more flow through the Irregular channel as the flood level rises. 6. The flow is thus sensitive to the ponding area Surface Ponding and its Impact on Irregular Channels in SWMM5

  How to Use Qfull in a Map Display in InfoSWMM and H2OMap SWMM Here is how you can plot the Qfull for a link on the Map Display: 1.        Copy the Qfull Value from the Run Manger Conduit Summary Output Table 2.        Paste it into the DB Table for Conduit Information, You will need to make a new column with a numeric type 3.  The    Map Display will now have a Map Display variable called Qfull or whatever you created 4.       The Map will now show the  value of Qfull or the full flow based on Manning's equation Qfull in a Map Display in InfoSWMM and H2OMap SWMM

Press Room  |  Products  |  News  |  Events  |  The Company   Innovyze Introduces InfoWorks ICM RiskMaster Extension for Economic Evaluation of Flood Risks Powerful Risk-based Analytics Enable Comprehensive Evaluation of Flooding Event Consequences and Alleviation Strategies Broomfield, Colorado, USA,  January 28, 2014  —  Pushing the limits of smart water network innovation, Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced the release of  InfoWorks ICM RiskMaster . The revolutionary risk-based analysis extension enables  InfoWorks ICM  to accurately compute both the damage caused by specific flood events and expected annual flood damage. Calculations are based on the hydraulic, hydrologic and economic data for any number of simulated damage receptors including residential, commercial and industrial properties. These powerful predictive analysis capabilities provide  InfoWorks ICM  users with both a quant

This is for students of SWMM 5 who want to quickly have many water quality constituents in their model.  You can copy and paste this snippet to your SWMM5.INP file and change the coverages sections to have 25 Pollutants with Buildup and Washoff Sections.  I hope this helps you in your water quality modeling.
