Peachtree City, GA Adopts InfoSWMM Vanguard Smart Network Modeling Will Improve Management of Sewer Infrastructure Broomfield, Colorado, USA, November 17, 2015 Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced that the Peachtree City Water & Sewerage Authority (PCWASA), Georgia, has chosen Innovyze’s  InfoSWMM , the industry-leading solution for geocentric smart water network modeling. The software will serve as the foundation for the development of a comprehensive ArcGIS-centric (Esri, Redlands, CA) approach to managing the PCWASA sewer system. PCWASA owns and operates two wastewater treatment facilities along with approximately 200 miles of gravity sewer and force main and 35 pumping stations, serving more than 10,000 customers within Peachtree City. The PCWASA geographic service area is approximately 24 square miles. “We chose  InfoSWMM  for its comprehensive sewer modeling and simulat...

This blog contrasts the St Venant Solutions for InfoSewerH20Map Sewer (1), InfoSWMM/H2OMap SWMM and ICM/ICM SE. 1.  Assumptions for the St. Venant Equations The assumptions behind Lumped and Distributed Models along with the assumptions of the  St Venant equations .  InfoSewerH20Map Sewer, InfoSWMM, H2OMap SWMM, SWMM5, ICM and ICM SE are all Distributed models for Unsteady flow.  InfoSWMM and InfoSewerH20Map Sewer have options for direct steady flow.  ICM and InfoSWMM can also use a quasi steady flow solution.   All of these Innovyze models use the Continuity Equation and Momentum equation for routing flows in links.  The numerical solution differs between the three Innovyze main  platforms: InfoSewer and H2OMap Sewer InfoSWMM,  H2OMap SWMM and SWMM 5 ICM and ICM SE Continuity Equation Various Forms of the Momentum Equation 2.  Muskingum-Cunge for InfoSewerH20Map Sewer The continuity (mass conservation) equation is: where x ...

Infiltration from the pervious area is a marvelous and from a runoff volume and runoff peak perspective a vital process in modeling the hydrology and ultimately the hydraulics of your Watersheds.  Figure 1 shows the five options available in InfoSWMM and H2OMap SWMM after the version 14 update which was based on the EPA SWMM 5.1.010 release:  Horton  Modified Horton   Green Ampt   Modified Green Ampt   Curve Number Not only can you have a different Infiltration option per Model Simulation but you can have different options for each scenario and even for individual Subcatchments in a Scenario (Figure 2).  In #InfoSWMM and H2OMap SWMM the Soil DB table (Figure 3) shows the individual parameters that apply to Horton, Green Ampt and Curve Number infiltration. The Modified Horton and Green Ampt have the same parameters as the Horton and Green Ampt Soil Types.  The Soil Coverage is specified in the Subcatchment DB Table or individually in the Subcatchme...

Chapter 3 of RAH's (Robert Heinlein) Have Space Suit will Travel, Scribner's Juvenile from the 1950's in which hero Kip in  great expository RAH style refurbishes a used space suit.   A great book along with A Door into Summer for a young engineer of any age. ""But I didn't get tired of it; a space suit is a marvelous piece of machinery-a little space station with everything miniaturized. Mine was a chrome-plated helmet and shoulder yoke which merged into a body of silicone, asbestos, and glass-fiber cloth. This hide was stiff except at the joints. They were the same rugged material but were "constant volume" -when you bent a knee a bellows arrangement increased the volume over the knee cap as much as the space back of the knee was squeezed. Without this a man wouldn't be able to move; the pressure inside, which can add up to several tons, would hold him rigid as a statue. These volume compensators were covered with dural armor; even the finger...
