SWMM56

A rise in Pipe Inverts Across a SWMM 5 Node Subject:   This is how SWMM 5 handles  jumps in pipe invert across a node.   The water surface in the node determines the flow in the link, as the depth increases due to upstream inflow eventually the downstream link will start flowing. What Node and Link Invert Elevations Does SWMM 5 Use? Note:    What Node and  Link Invert Elevations Does SWMM 5 Use? SWMM 5 uses the following Node information from the user: ·         Node Invert Elevation, ·         The Node Rim Elevation which is the Node Invert Elevation + the Maximum node depth ·         The Ponded Area when the Ponded  Area option is used ·         The Surcharge Depth above the Node Rim Elevation SWMM 5 uses the following link information from the user: ·         The Link Upstream Offset Depth or Offset Elevation and ·         The Link Downstream Offset Depth or Offset Elevation ·         The Link Maximum Depth or Diameter SWMM 5 calculates the following information  internally : ·

Smart Water technology continues to evolve at an astounding pace with new solutions entering the market promising huge energy savings, accounting for every drop of water, predicting pipeline failures, and more.  The promise and hype of smarter water systems have intrigued many utilities, but adoption isn’t widespread. Costs and benefits—the limiting factors—many times can’t be easily justified.  What has always worked in the industry is incremental change; take a complex problem with multiple moving parts and slowly solve it one part at a time starting with the low-hanging fruit. This approach means the industry needs practical, intermediate and cost-effective solutions to work before operators and managers are ready to use or believe in automated smart water sensing technology. This four part webcast series, titled “ Charting Your Smart Water Strategy ”, outlines just such an approach.  Each live webcasts will outline an intermediate and actionable step to building your own smart wate

This is a 2014 blogging experiment - a new set of posts on Medium.  I got the idea from @boonsri  The blogs describe @Innovyze software and SWMM5 https://medium.com/@rdickinson Robert E Dickinson

This blog shows how to display multiple link parameters. The 1st method would be to use Arc Map Layer properties and label multiple parameters for each gravity main or force main.  The image below shows and example and here is the code inside of Arc Map to do this Function FindLabel ( [DIAMETER], [Pipe.SHAPE_Length], [COEFF] )   FindLabel = [DIAMETER] & " m / "  & " " & [Pipe.SHAPE_Length]  &  " m / n "   & [COEFF]  End Function Arc Map Label Annotation Or  Function FindLabel ( [DIAMETER], [Pipe.SHAPE_Length], [COEFF] )   FindLabel = " D= " & [DIAMETER] & " m / L="  & " " & [Pipe.SHAPE_Length]  &  " m / n "   & [COEFF]  End Function   Label Properties in Arc Map or Arc GIS The 2nd method is to use Annotation and Map Display in InfoSewer If you want to show both pipe diameter and slope on the map of InfoSewer you will have to workaround the limitation of having only one map

InfoSWMM 2D Version 13 Brings Significant 1D and 2D Simulation Advancements To Power Users Latest Release Confirms Product as Leading GIS-centric Urban Drainage Modeling and Management Solution Broomfield, Colorado, USA, November 18, 2014 Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced the worldwide availability of the V13 Generation of its industry-leading  InfoSWMM 2D  for ArcGIS (Esri, Redlands, CA).  InfoSWMM 2D  delivers new ways to quickly and accurately build and analyze very large and comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) models that reliably simulate complex urban stormwater, sanitary sewers, river flooding and pollutant transport.

A colleague mentioned that this is the 10th year anniversary of EPA SWMM 5. I thought this important or noteworthy anniversary was worthy of a short blog. The release dates for SWMM 5 are from http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-10/epaswmm5_updates_0.txt which is in the download section of the EPA SWMM site  ----------------------- Build 5.0.002 (11/1/04) ----------------------- Engine Updates 1. Modifications made to the Picard method used for dynamic wave    flow routing routine. ------------------------ Build 5.0.001 (10/29/04) ------------------------ First official release of SWMM 5. since there were 4 releases during a 4 week period, it might be better to consider the whole month the release date for SWMM 5.0.001 to SWMM 5.0.004 Wikipedia has the whole timeline of SWMM 1/2/3/4/5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Water_Management_Model More about the ten year anniversary and the 25 year anniversary of EPA SWMM in 1996 here https://www.openswmm.org/Home/Search/?Year=-1
