Read MoreClimate Data in SWMM5 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 Depletion · Climate Adjustments Rain Gages Rain Gages supply precipitation data for…
Read MoreGroundwater in SWMM5 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 the drainage system, or exfiltration of surface water from the drainage system,…
Read MoreHydrology in SWMM5 Hydrologic Modeling Features SWMM accounts for various hydrologic processes that produce runoff from urban areas. These include: · time-varying rainfall · evaporation of standing surface water · snow accumulation and melting · rainfall interception from depression storage · infiltration of rainfall into…
