Subject: SWMM 5 Clocktime RTC Rules for Pumps, Weirs and Orifices
You can use the Control or RTC rules in SWMM 5 to adjust the settings of the weirs, pumps and orifices based on the clock time each day of your simulation. Here is an example that will adjust orifice height every ½ hour for 7 orifices at one time using two sets of rules.
