| 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 one or more subcatchment areas … Read the rest
| 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, depending on the hydraulic gradient … Read the rest
| 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 unsaturated soil layers |
| · | percolation |

Here is a graphical view of the nonlinear runoff processes in InfoSWMM and SWMM5:
1. Three runoff surfaces
a. Impervious with Depression Storage
b. Pervious
c. Impervious without Depression Storage
2. Slope (same for all runoff surfaces)
3. Width or the Dimension of the Subcatchment (same for all runoff surfaces)… Read the rest
This blog describes how the German Runoff hydrology converts precipitation excess (rainfall and/or snowmelt less infiltration, evaporation, and initial abstraction) into surface runoff (overland flow). InfoSWMM is a distributed model as it allows a study area to be subdivided into any
