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 minimum infiltration rate (assuming the storm last long enough),
3. The actual infiltration rate is the minimum of the rainfall rate or the potential infiltration rate,
4. Using the Huff distributions for rainfall the runoff does not start happening until the rainfall rate exceeds the potential infiltration rate in these models
5. The runoff ceases after the rainfall rate becomes less than the current potential infiltration rate later in the storm,
6. The maximum infiltration volume for Horton caps the storm event infiltration at 10 mm in this example, the infiltration will cease when the cumulative infiltration reaches 10 mm.
7. Horton Iniltration is a five parameter method
a. Maximum infiltration rate in mm/hour
b. Minimum infiltration rate in mm/hour
c. Decay rate for the change from maximum to minimum infiltration rate
d. Regeneration rate for the change from minimum to maximum infiltration rate after the storm event ends and
e. A maximum infiltration volume per storm event in millimeters

SWMM 5 Weir RTC Rules
Subject: SWMM 5 Weir RTC Rules
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 (Figure 1). The Weir flows normally every 0.25 feet but shuts down three times using these rules which set the Weir Setting to 0.0
RULE Weir100
IF Node WeirNode Depth > 1.75
AND Node WeirNode Depth < 2.0
THEN WEIR WEIR Setting = 0.0
Priority 2
RULE Weir101
IF Node WeirNode Depth > 2.25
AND Node WeirNode Depth < 2.5
THEN WEIR WEIR Setting = 0.0

Benefits of Urban Trees
Via http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/kbenfield/what_trees_mean_to_communities.html
If you’re interested in the subject of the community benefits of trees, you can get additional information from the websites of the National Arbor Day Foundation and theUS Forest Service. Among the tidbits I learned on one or the other of those two sites are these:
- The net cooling effect of a young, healthy tree is equivalent to ten room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day.
- If you plant a tree today on the west side of your home, in 5 years your energy bills should be 3 percent less. In 15 years the savings will be nearly 12 percent.
- One acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen.
- A number of studies have shown that real estate agents and home buyers assign between 10 and 23 percent of the value of a residence to the trees on the property.
- Surgery patients who could see a grove of deciduous trees recuperated faster and required less pain-killing medicine than matched patients who viewed only brick walls.
- In one study, stands of trees reduced particulates by 9 to 13 percent, and the amount of dust reaching the ground was 27 to 42 percent less under a stand of trees than in an open area.
Several years ago, walkability guru Dan Burden wrote a detailed monograph titled 22 Benefits of Urban Street Trees. Among other things, he calculated that “for a planting cost of $250-600 (includes first 3 years of maintenance) a single street tree returns over $90,000 of direct benefits (not including aesthetic, social and natural) in the lifetime of the tree.” Burden cites data finding that street trees create slower and more appropriate urban traffic speeds, increase customer traffic to businesses, and obviate increments of costly drainage infrastructure. In at least one recent study (reported after Burden’s analysis), trees were even found to be associated with reduced crime.

How to use the Flow Splitter in InfoSewer for Dendritic Networks
Subject: How to use the Flow Splitter in InfoSewer for Dendritic Networks
Subject: How to use the Flow Splitter in In
InfoSewer, which is an extension in Arc Map, does need to have flow splits defined where gravity mains merge together to determine the amount of flow in each of the downstream conduits (Figure 1). The options for the flow splitterin each of the downstream links are:
1. Automatic Allocation
2. Fixed Flow Percentage
3. Variable Flow
4. Inflow-Outflow Curve
At an outfall where the invert of the outfall pipe is raised compared to the inverts of the incoming and outgoing pipes a flow split of Variable Flow Percentage or Inflow/Outflow curve may work better (Figure 2).

Rules for NRSCS Unit Hydrographs in InfoSWMM
Subject: Rules for NRSCS Unit Hydrographs in InfoSWMM
Subject: Rules for NRSCS Unit
Rules or Guidelines for NRSCS Unit Hydrographs if used as the Hydrology Option in InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM:
1. The Unit Hydrograph CN comes from the Subcatchment Table and the NRCS_CN Column
2. Time of Concentration is from the TC column in the Subcatchment Table
3. The Infiltration Model should be from the CN infiltration Model Column in the Subcatchment Database Table
4. The CN in the Soil Database Table should be the same as the CN in the Subcatchment Database Table
5. If the Depression Storage is zero in the Subcatchment Database Table then the Initial Abstraction in inches will be calculated as 0.2*(1000/CN-10) internally in the engine
6. Initial Abstraction or IA in US Units = 0.2*(1000/CN-10) in American Units

InfoSWMM v11.1 Changes to Date
InfoSWMM v11.1:
Support ArcGIS 10.1.
InfoSWMM or H2OMAP SWMM import:
corrected the typos in error messages. (HsHxfSvr.dll, N/A, 6/22/2012)
Improvement: for better
hours/minutes listing in Report Manager Report Table for Continuous Simulation
with Odd Report Time Step Intervals. For example, this fix improved the
output time display for irregular (in
60 minute sense) output time
steps. Now it displays 00:50, 01:40, etc. more correctly than before
(00:49, 01:39, etc). (HsOutPkg.dll, N/A, 6/21/2012)
Improvement or Bug Fix:
Added an IF statement to the RDII
Unit Hydrograph Convolution for the rare instances in which the user sets
the time base of the UH to zero by setting either T or K to zero. The
Time Base is T*K in the
convolution integral and zero
values are not allowed. This bug was also forwarded to the EPA for a
future SWMM 5. The convolution uses the value of R and the Time Base to
estimate the amount of Infiltration and
Inflow in the Sewer Network.
The short, medium and long term UH’s are estimated at each Wet Hydrology time
step to make a smooth hydrograph out of the R, T and K parameters of the
Rainfall Dependent Infiltration
and Infiltration Method.
(HsEngPkg64.dll and HsEngPkg.dll, N/A, 6/21/2012)
Improvement: More information for
the user when one of nine SWMM 5 warning messages are listed in the HTML Output
File. (HsEngPkg64.dll and HsEngPkg.dll, N/A, 6/21/2012)
These are the nine SWMM 5 Warning Messages
"WARNING 01: wet weather time step reduced to recording interval for Rain
Gage"
"WARNING 02: maximum depth increased for Node"
"WARNING 03: negative offset ignored for Link"
"WARNING 04: minimum elevation drop used for Conduit"
"WARNING 05: minimum slope used for Conduit"
"WARNING 06: dry weather time step increased to the wet weather time
step"
"WARNING 07: routing time step reduced to the wet weather time step"
"WARNING 08: elevation drop exceeds length for
Conduit"
"WARNING 09: time series interval greater than recording interval for Rain
Gage"
And Here is the Extra Information Now Saved to the HTML Output File in case the
user wants to know what is used internally in the engine. This is
especially handy information when moving a SWMM 5 model to
IWCS or ICM.
Application Framework: introduce
the new “Inherited” Facility Set option. Scenario can now inherit
facility selection from its ancestor which possesses a non-inherited facility
definition. (HsCadPkgPkg.dll,
HsUI2Pkg.dll, and HsDBBPkg.dll,
N/A, 6/21/2012)
New Option in DB Tables for Scenarios
Correction:
The export to the hydqua.inp file
when you solve a H2OMAP SWMM model now includes the infiltration data even if
the Subcatchment DB Infiltration column is blank after the import of a SWMM 5
file. The blank row
defaults to the global Infiltration
option in Base Simulation Options. (HsDataPkg.dll, N/A, 6/14/2012)
Correction:
Eliminated a duplicate graph of
storage infiltration in the Low Impact Development. (HsOutPkg.dll, N/A,
6/14/2012)
Correction:
Implemented a future EPA fix for
infiltration loss on a pervious surface if snowmelt is being
simulated. This fix will be part of SWMM 5.0.023. (HsEngPkg64.dll
and HsEngPkg.dll, N/A, 6/13/2012)
The error was the double counting
the accumulation of snow cover as infiltration in the mass balance table – here
is the mass balance without the fix in SWMM 5.0.022
Fixed the problem of Edit Domain
Attribute. It was caused by a table relate issue in DB engine.
(HsMapSrv10.dll, N/A, 5/29/2012)
Recompiled to fix a compatibility
issue of the validation tool. (HnUtl.dll and HsUtlSrv.dll, N/A, 5/29/2012)

Scenario Comparison: Now, the
“Hide Unchanged Column(s)” right-click command works correctly. (HsUI2Pkg.dll,
N/A, 4/17/2012)
Netview Storage/Wet-Well Output:
Fixed an invalid output data field problem. (HsOutPkg.dll, N/A, 4/12/2012)
Scenario Comparison: Fixed
Duplicated ID Alias problem. (HsUtilPkg.dll and HsDBBPkg.dll, N/A, 4/11/2012)

Changes & Improvements
Simulation Run Report : Added a
Scenario data source reference to the title notes section of the RPT file.
(HsEngPkg.dll, HsEngPkt64.dll, and HsDataPkg.dll, N/A, 3/15/2012)
Simulation Run Output Data Access:
Improved 64-bit access reliability for simulation run output data.
(HsEngPkg.dll, HsEngPkg64.dll, and HsOutPkg.dll, N/A, 3/19/2012)
Small Time Base fix for RDII flow
to match an upcoming SWMM 5 version (HsEngPkg.dll, HsEngPkt64.dll, and
HsDataPkg.dll, N/A, 3/16/2012) :
Description: SWMM 5 makes the time
interval used for convoluting the unit hydrographs within a group the smaller
of the wet runoff step and the smallest time to peak for the
hydrographs in the group. This
works OK when all the hydrographs have rising limb durations no longer than
that of the falling limb (i.e., K >= 1.0). For example, the short term
UH has a K value of 0.3, with
rising limb time of 42 minutes and falling limb time of 12.6 minutes. As
a result, the time interval selection rule stated above was producing too
large a time step for a wet runoff
step of 30 minutes causing the convolution to ignore a good portion of the
UH. The rule was modified to compare the wet step to the SMALLER of
the time to peak and time to
recede.
Importance of this for past
and future InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM models:
1.
Again, it is a significant and BETTER reason to use the current SWMM 5 engine
over v13 of the SWMM 5 engine,
2.
It makes the convolution more robust for a small time base in the RTK method or
the Time Base= T*K
3.
It may cause RDII flow differences in this engine if T*K is small over past
engines

Import of a SWMM 5 File with a
Duplicate ID now tells you the name and class of object that is duplicated so
it can be edited in SWMM 5.(HsDataPkg.dll, N/A, 1/31/2012):
New Feature
(HEC_HMS_HYETOGRAPHS.inp, N/A, 2/2/2012):
How to import the 44 possible SCS
Storms from HEC-HMS. The file HEC_HMS_HYETOGRAPHS.inp is imported
into InfoSWMM using the command Import EPASWMM 5 Data to import just the
Raingage and Timeseries data from SWMM5. The Timeseries data is a copy of
the HEC-HMS data for each of the possible SCS Storms for SCS Type1,
Type1A, Type2 and Type3 for 1 minute, 2 minute, 3 minute, 4 minute, 5
minute, 6 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, 20 minute, 30 minute and 1 hour
intervals, respectively. This is done so that the user of InfoSWMM
has the option of using the exact HEC-HMS dimensionless precipitation for every
interval and every SCS Storm Type.

InfoSWMM v11 Update 5:
Changes & Improvements
SWMM 5 Export of Dry Weather Flow
(HsDataPkg.dll , N/A, 10/25/2011) :
1. Many of
our users use our DWF Allocator to assign dry weather flow to nodes based on
meter data or loading areas
2. If they do
this improperly then they may get many rows of DWF with zero flows in H2OMAP
SWMM
3. This does
not matter to H2OMAP SWMM as unlimited loads can be assigned to a node but
4. This is a
problem in the export to SWMM 5 as SWMM 5 has a limitation of one DWF load per
node
5. Zero DWF
loads at a node are now NOT exported to SWMM 5 which makes this more compatible
with the internal rules of SWMM 5
6. Only Non
Zero DWF’s are now Exported

example, if the user saves at a one second time step for a week this will allow
him or her to see all 604800 data points and graph or perform statistics on 5
second intervals if needed. It was needed for those simulations in
which the Maximum and Report Time Steps are the Same and the time step is
small. If you do save a million or more data points it would behoove you
