The hydrology time step should be less than or equal to the smallest raingage rainfall interval in your network, 3. The hydraulic time step should be less than or equal to the hydrology time step and should be based on the hydraulic needs of the your network. Short length links, pump and weirs may require a smaller maximum hydraulic time step . 2 nd The report time step controls what you see in the graphics output of SWMM 5 . If you see a large difference between that you see in the graphics output and the report text file it is because you have a large difference between the report...
