How to Easily Use the DWF Allocator with your Lots Shapefile in InfoSWMM
The goal of this document is to show how you can use a shapefile with polygon loadings to a link in the InfoSWMM DWF Allocator to create DWF loadings to the nodes in InfoSWMM that are the … Read the rest
The SWMM5 engine uses mean flow as the dry weather flow value (DWF) and not population but does allow weekday, weekend, daily and monthly patterns. You can use these many pattern options to actually use population in the SWMM5 and InfoSWMM dry weather flow tables. Here are the steps as … Read the rest
Excerpt from the EPA manual Storm Water Management Model Reference Manual Volume III – Water Quality (PDF) which can be found here
Management of stormwater quality is usually performed through a combination of so-called “best management practices” (BMPs) and a form … Read the rest
Surface Ponding
Normally in flow routing, when the flow into a junction exceeds the capacity of the system to transport it further downstream, the excess volume overflows the system and is lost. An option exists to have instead the excess volume be stored atop the junction, in a ponded … Read the rest

Unit Hydrographs (UHs) estimate rainfall-dependent inflow/infiltration (RDII) into a sewer system. A UH set contains up to three such hydrographs, one for a short-term response, one for an intermediate-term response, and one for a long-term response. A UH group can have up to 12 UH sets, … Read the rest
