Subject: Example Groundwater Model in SWMM 5
The attached model shows three ways in which the groundwater model of the SWMM 5 subcatchments interact with the node depths of the hydraulic network. The hydraulic network interaction can be either:
1. At a fixed water surface elevation,
2. At a time
Subject: Example SWMM 5 Snowmelt Model
Attached is a simple sample snowmelt model in SWMM 5 that has built in snowfall and temperature in a one subcatcment model with snowmelt. You define the separation of precipitation into snowfall and rainfall by setting a base temperature in the Snow Pack Editor.
Subject: SWMM 5 Leaping Weir Example
The attached example shows one way how SWMM 5 RTC Rules can be used to have the low flow go down a leaping weir orifice and the high flow go over the weir to the downstream section of the sewer.

Subject: SWMM 5 Precipitation Options
You can have design storms, monitored storms of any length of the time from minutes to centuries, use intensity, volume or cumulative precipitation, use both rainfall and snowfall in the same rain gage depending on temperature, use both time series or external files for … Read the rest
Subject: How is the St Venant Equation Solved for in the Dynamic Wave Solution of SWMM 5?
An explanation of the four St. Venant Terms in SWMM 5 and how they change for Gravity Mains and Force Mains. The HGL is the water surface elevation in the upstream … Read the rest
Subject: Link Iterations in the SWMM 5 Dynamic Wave Solution
Each of the links in the SWMM 5 network can use up to 8 iterations to reach convergence during a time step in the dynamic wave solution of SWMM 5. The rules governing the number of iterations are:

Subject: Runoff Routing Options Example in SWMM 5
There are six options for runoff routing in SWMM 5:
· All Runoff to an Outlet Node
· All Runoff to another Subcatchment
· All Runoff to the Pervious Area of the Subcatchment or other Subcatchment
· All Runoff to the Impervious
Subject: Create Watersheds Using InfoSWMM Subcatchment Manager
The Subcatchment Manager of InfoSWMM will help calculate most of the physical parameters associated with a Watershed or Subcatchment in SWMM 5 from a Digital Elevation Data (Step 1). The Subcatchments area created from a Flow Direction Raster (Step 2) and a Flow
Subject: Three Flow Divider Link Example in SWMM 5
You can have more than 2 downstream OUTLET Type links in the SWMM 5 dynamic wave solution. Each link, Under5, Over5 and ReturnFlow is an OUTLET Link with a rating curve depth/flow table. Depending on the depth in the storage node

Subject: Drawing features to show multiple attributes in InfoSWMM
Your network data usually has a number of different attributes that describe the features it represents (Figure 3). While you'll commonly use one of the attributes to symbolize the
data—for example, showing one quantity in the InfoSWMM Map Display —you may … Read the rest
Note: Flow Dividers in SWMM 5 Dynamic Routing
You can have flow dividers in SWMM 5 dynamic routing by using Storage Nodes for the dividers, OUTLET links for the downstream links and minimizing downstream HGL effects. The needed components are:
1. A Storage Node for the divider node as a
Note: The Keep and Dampen options and their effect on the four main terms of the St Venant equation.
The four terms are are used in the new flow for a time step of Qnew:
