Green Ampt Infiltration for the Storage Nodes of SWMM 5
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. Continuing with the recent blogs on Green Ampt Infiltration, you can also simulate the infiltration and evaporation from a Storage node in SWMM 5 Discussion: The infiltration and evaporation can be simulated in SWMM 5 using Green Ampt Infiltration: 1. The three Green Ampt parameters are entered in the Storage Node Dialog 2. The statistics for the who...
