Subject:    How Does the Green Ampt Initial  Moisture  Defiict Work in InfoSWMM and SWMM 5? This graph shows the values of the internal SWMM 5 parameters for Green Ampt Infiltration for the pervious area of a Subcatchment during a simulation.  The parameters are: ·          Soil   Moisture  =  IMD   Max  – ( FUMax  –  FU )/ Upper   Soil   Zone   Depth ·          FU  or current  moisture  content of the  upper   zone  of the of the  soil ·          FUMax  which is the saturated  moisture  content of the  upper   zone  in feet and stays constant during the simulation ·          IMD   Max  is the user defined Initial  soil   moisture  deficit and is a...
