Flow routing within a conduit link in SWMM is governed by the conservation of mass and momentum equations for gradually varied, unsteady flow (i.e., the Saint Venant flow …
| Viewing Simulation Results |
This section describes the different ways in which the results of a simulation can be viewed. These include a status report, a summary report, various map views, …
| Climatology |
The Climatology object in EPA SWMM describes the following climate-related variables used for computing runoff and snowmelt:
| · | Temperature |
| · | Evaporation |
| · | Wind Speed |
| · | Snowmelt |
| · | Areal |
| Aquifers |
Aquifers are sub-surface groundwater zones used to model the vertical movement of water infiltrating from the subcatchments that lie above them. They also permit the infiltration of groundwater into …
| Non-visual Objects |
In addition to physical objects that can be displayed visually on a map, SWMM utilizes several classes of non-visual data objects to describe additional characteristics and processes …
| Links |
Links are the conveyance components of a drainage system and always lie between a pair of nodes. Types of links include:
| · | Conduits |
| · | Pumps |
| · | Regulators |

Conduits…
| Nodes |
Nodes are points of a conveyance system that connect conveyance links together. There are several different categories of nodes that can be employed:
| · | Junctions |
| · | Outfalls |
| · | Flow |
| Water Quality Modeling Features |
In addition to modeling the generation and transport of runoff flows, SWMM can also estimate the production of pollutant loads associated with this runoff. The …

The LID Control Editor is used to define a low impact development control that can be deployed throughout a study area to store, infiltrate, and evaporate Subcatchment …
| Project File |
A SWMM Project File is a plain text file that contains all of the data used to describe a study area and the options used to analyze it. …
| Printing and Copying |
This section describes how to print, copy to the Windows clipboard, or copy to file the contents of the currently active window in the SWMM workspace. This …
| Control Rules |
Control Rules determine how pumps and regulators in the conveyance system will be adjusted over the course of a simulation. The use of control rules is explained in …
| Troubleshooting Results |
When a run ends prematurely, the Run Status dialog will indicate that the run was unsuccessful and direct the user to the Status Report for …
