How to Create an InfoSWMM model from CSV Files
An InfoSWMM model can be newly created from a CSV file but it helps to have a background map or shapefile to initialize the Arc Map project. BEFORE initializing yourInfoSWMM map Add a data layer using the Arc Map command … Read the rest
How to Create an InfoSWMM model from CSV Files, Alternate Method
An InfoSWMM model can be newly created from a CSV file but it helps to have an idea of the maximum extents before you initialize the Arc Map project. Use the ArcGIS default and Edit the extents of … Read the rest
Siphon Modeling in InfoSewer and Arc Map
Here is at typical view of a siphon in InfoSewer, the rising links have a d/D of 1 and the dropping links typically have a d/D value less than 1. The q/Q for the rising links is based on the slope and … Read the rest

Subject: Non Linear Term in the Saint Venant Equation of SWMM 5
The flow equation has six components that have to be in balance at each time step:
1. The unsteady flow term or dQ/dt
2. The friction loss term (normally based on Manning's equation except for full force mains),… Read the rest
The time flooding in SWMM 5 is pretty simple:
1. It is the sum of all time steps in which excess flow is coming out of the top of the manhole or
2. If you are using the ponding option then it is the time the surface pond has more

Note: How to Use the Arc Map Editor in InfoSWMM
Step 1 is to use the Edit Feature for example the Subcatchment layer to bring up the Arc Map Editor Tool.
Step 2 is to use the Reshape Feature tool or Vertex tools to bring together mis matched Subcatchment Boundaries

Subject: SWMM 5 Weir RTC Rules
This example SWMM 5 model closes a weir based on the depth at the upstream node of the Weir every 0.25 feet. You can see the effect of the RTC rules using a Scatter plot of Weir Flow versus Weir Depth in SWMM 5
This sketch summarizes what happens in a SWMM 5 Subcatchment for Horton Infiltration during a storm event:
1. The event starts out with the potential infiltration rate at the maximum infiltration rate but
2. Decay starts happening right away and the potential infiltration rate starts decreasing until it reaches the
