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

How to Make Scatter Graphs in InfoSWMM, InfoSWMM SA and H2OMap SWMM
Scatter graphs of velocity on the X axis and depth on the Y axis are important to help understand the reason for flow/depth relationships in flow surveys. You can make a scatter graph … Read the rest
Runoff Coefficients
Runoff coefficient is loosely defined as the ratio of runoff to rainfall, and is a function of watershed characteristics including land use, soil type, and slope of the watershed. The value of runoff coefficient ranges between 0.0 and 1.0. A value of 0.0 means that all of the … Read the rest
Example 5. Runoff Water Quality
This example demonstrates how to simulate pollutant buildup and washoff in an urban catchment. The influence of different land uses on pollutant buildup is considered and both Event Mean Concentrations (EMCs) and exponential functions are used to represent the washoff process.
Surface runoff quality is … Read the rest
Steps for Running RDII Analyst in H2OMap SWMM

SWMM 5 Loss Term Values for various velocities and K values
SWMM 5 has three loss terms available for each link: Entrance, Exit and Other losses. The Entrance loss uses the upstream link velocity, the Other loss uses the center link velocity and the Exit loss uses the downstream link … Read the rest
A quick note: A really nice feature of the way #SWMM5 models water quality is the easy ability to model tracers for the contribution of the major processes. You can set up a concentration of 100 (for example) for DWF, RDII Flow, Runoff and Groundwater to find the percentage contribution … Read the rest
