Rules for using the NRCS (SCS) Dimensionless Unit Hydrograph Method in InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA
A unit hydrograph is defined as the direct runoff hydrograph resulting from a unit depth of excess (effective) rainfall produced by a storm of uniform intensity and specified duration. Unit hydrographs could be natural … Read the rest
Infiltration is the process of rainfall penetrating the ground surface into the soil over the pervious areas of Subcatchments.
InfoSWMM H2OMap SWMM InfoSWMM SA offers three choices for modeling infiltration:
Horton’s Equation
This method is based … Read the rest
InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA is a comprehensive GIS-centric, highly advanced hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality simulation model that could be used for the management of urban stormwater and wastewater collection systems. InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA represents the … Read the rest
How to Use the Clark Unit Hydrograph Method in InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA
Clark’s method derives a unit hydrograph by explicitly representing the processes of translation and attenuation, which are the two critical phenomena in transformation of excess rainfall to runoff hydrograph. Translation refers to the movement, without storage, of … Read the rest

Like all other visual data objects, Weir object is edited using the attribute browser.
To edit attributes of a weir:
from InfoSWMM Edit Network tool bar.Tools Menu – This menu contains the basic tools of InfoSWMM SA that allow you to run the simulation and report the results. The basic modeling and analysis tools are incorporated into the Tools Menu.
When you define a scenario, you pick the facility, data, and option sets that comprise that scenario. When picking data sets for inclusion in a scenario, you may either specify that a data set associated with a given … Read the rest
The Dynamic Wave page of the Simulation Options dialog, shown below, sets several parameters that control how the dynamic wave flow routing computations are made. These parameters have no effect for the other flow routing … Read the rest
The flow classification summary report is available only if the flow routing option used is dynamic wave. This report summarizes the flow regimes experienced by all or selected conduits in the system.

SWMM5 water quality can simulate the generation, inflow and transport of any number of user-defined pollutants. Required information for each pollutant includes:
| 1 | pollutant name |
| 2 | concentration units (i.e., milligrams/liter, micrograms/liter, or counts/liter) |
| 3 | concentration in rainfall |
| 4 | concentration in groundwater |
| 5 | concentration in |
Setting Controls For The Pumps and Orifices for the SWMM5 Engine in InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA
