Note: Flow Dividers in SWMM 5 Dynamic Routing
You can have flow dividers in SWMM 5 dynamic routing by using Storage Nodes for the dividers, OUTLET links for the downstream links and minimizing downstream HGL effects. The needed components are:
1. A Storage Node for the divider node as a
Subject: Surcharged Node and the Link Connection in SWMM 5
A surcharged node in SWMM 5 uses this point iteration equation (Figure 1):
dY/dt = dQ / The sum of the Connecting Link values of dQ/dH
where Y is the depth in the node, dt is the time step, … Read the rest
Subject: How to Divide the Inflow at a Node in InfoSWMM
In SWMM 5 only the Kinematic Wave solution allows a flow divider at a node to divide the Inflow to node to two downstream links, but you can use the Inflow/Outflow Outlet type in InfoSWMM to divide the … Read the rest

Subject: How to Edit the Subcatchment Polygons in InfoSWMM with Arc Map
You can edit the polygon boundaries of the Subcatchments in Arc GIS by using the Editor command and either editing the vertices or by using the Reshape Feature Tool to adjust the boundaries or snap to the polygon … Read the rest
Subject: Average Residence time in InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM
Here is one way to estimate the residence time:
1. Plot the System Outflow and Storage in the InfoSWMM Report Manager
2. Click on the Report Button and copy the Outflow and Storage Time Series
3. Paste to Excel
4. Calculate
Subject: How to Import the SWMM 5 Report File as a Layer in infoSWMM
The idea of this blog of note is to show how one may extract information from the SWMM 5 or InfoSWMM RPT file and import the Excel File as a feature in InfoSWMM. This blog has
Subject: How to Approximate a Timer in the RTC Rules of SWMM 5
SWMM 5 does not have a explicit timer in its Real Time Control (RTC) rules but you can approximate it by using a Control Curve as in the attached example model. The Control Curve will … Read the rest
Note: How to Use Bing Maps in InfoSWMM as a Basemap
A great feature of Arc GIS 10 is the ability to use background maps from Bing for your model. A few steps are necessary to set up the coordinates, import the basemap, clip the basemap and set the new … Read the rest
