This is for students of SWMM 5 who want to quickly have many water quality constituents in their model.  You can copy and paste this snippet to your SWMM5.INP file and change the coverages sections to have 25 Pollutants with Buildup and Washoff Sections.  I hope this helps you in

Return Periods Using The  SWMM 5 Statistics Tool

A great feature in SWMM 5 is the Statistics tool which allows you compute the long term statistics for 10, 25, 50, 100, 500 or 1000 years (and probably longer).  You run the simulation, pick a parameter to analyze then compute the:

Data Sharing Ideas for InfoSWMM and InfoSewer

If you are using one of the SCS Options in InfoSWMM and H2OMap SWMM (Bullet 1 in Figure 1) then you should:
1. The CN, Time of Concentration and an optional Initial Abstraction in the Subcatchment DB Table (Bullet 2)
2. If the Initial Abstraction is zero then the default
