Global Dry Weather Flow Reduction in InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM

Global Dry Weather Flow Reduction in InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM

A cool tip to reduce the overall dry weather flow in InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM without changing the mean dry weather flow is to do the following:

1.       Make a Reduction or Increase Flow Pattern in the Operations tab of the Attribute Browser (2),
2.      For example, if we want to have 85 percent of the flow use a value of 0.85
3.      In the Node DWF DB Table (2) use the pattern just created (3)
4.      All of the flows in the DWF table and during your simulation will be reduced by 15 percent.

Siphon Modeling in InfoSewer and Arc Map

Siphon Modeling in InfoSewer and Arc Map

Siphon Modeling in InfoSewer and Arc Map Atrribute Display by dickinsonre Siphon Modeling in InfoSewer and Arc Map Here is a 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 the dropping links typically have a q/Q less than 1 as the full flow is high due to the steep slopes.  You can show both the d/D and q/Q values in an Arc Map Display by using the following code.  I find it easier to first plot one variable using the InfoSewer Map Display followed by editing the TOC Properties for Pipes to show more than one variable at a time in the Label properties. Function FindLabel ([D_OVER_D],  [Q_OVER_Q] ) If IsNull([D_OVER_D]) then Exit Function FindLabel ="" &  FormatNumber([D_OVER_D],3) & "  d/D "  & "" &  FormatNumber([Q_OVER_Q],3) & " q/Q" End Function via Blogger http://www.swmm5.net/2013/08/siphon-modeling-in-infosewer-and-arc.html

SWMM 4 and SWMM 5 St. Venant Solutions Contrasted by dickinsonre SWMM 4 and SWMM 5 St. Venant Solutions Contrasted 1. Compute at time t+delta t the values of dQ/dt for the Links and dH/dt for the Nodes from the properties at time t 2 Iterate at least 2 times until either all nodes and links are converged or a maximum of 8 iterations are reached 3. Use the values of Q and H at time t+delta t for the new time step The SWMM5 Solution for Flow and Depth at each time step.  The new depth and new flow is always based on the old depth and old flow and normally converges fast as the flow is gradually varied.   The solution is iterative and implicitly uses the new depth and flow at each iteration. The SWMM4 Solution for Flow and Depth is solved Explicitly at each time step.  The new depth and new flow is always based on the old depth and old flow and and a half and full time step during the time step. via Blogger http://www.swmm5.net/2013/08/swmm-4-and-swmm-5-st-venant-solutions.html

How to Create an InfoSWMM model from CSV Files, Alternate Method

How to Create an InfoSWMM model from CSV Files, Alternate Method by dickinsonre 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 your future imported network (Figure 1).  Import the CSV files (Figure 2) and define the imported variables (Figure 3) followed by an Update Map from DB (Figure 4) which will draw your imported nodes and links on the Arc Map screen.  The updated Map should be within the extents of your defined spatial reference (Figure 5).  It is important to have the proper spatial reference for your imported data in Arc Map.  If you do not have the proper extents then when you update the Map from DB you will have a warning message "The coordinates or measures are out of bounds".  Figure 1.  Import a background shape file and initialize your InfoSWMM map to the coordinates of the shapefile. Figure 2.  Import a CSV file for both pipes and nodes using the Import Manager of InfoSWMM Figure 3.  Set up the Field Mapping between the CSV parameters and the Node and Link Parameters of InfosWMM.

How to Search My Blogs by concentrating on one blog for Information about SWMM5, InfoSWMM and InfoSewer

How to Search My Blogs by concentrating on one Blog:   I have spent a lot of time in the last week redoing all of my tags, names and websites.   You can search SWMM5.NET or SWMM5.ORG for information on infoswmm, infosewer and of course SWMM 5  Hopefully, this makes them a bit more organized – there are a total of 900 posts as of today, but each post now has labels and multiple tags

The site http://www.swmm5.net/  has a built in Google Custom Search Engine which as even more flexibility

How to Save Node and Link Summary Tables in H2OMAP SWMM to Shapefiles by dickinsonre How to Save Node and Link Summary Tables in H2OMAP SWMM to Shapefiles The export manager of H2OMAP SWMM is very flexible, you can export shape, MIF and CSV files but you have to do some copy and pasting to allow the program to export ALL of the node and pipe summary tables.  The export manager will export any node or pipe information in the DB hydraulic and information tables.  If you copy and paste, for example, the output pipe summary table to the Pipe information tables (Figure 1) then you can use the Export Manager (Figure 2) to save the shape file with tables(Figure 4) and view the shape file in Arc Map (Figure 4).  The TOC properties in Arc Map can be used to show the maximum d over D or maximum Q over Qfull values in Arc Map using this VBScript.

Annual International Conference on modeling urban water systems, Feb 21-22 2013 in Toronto - call for papers

Annual International Conference on modeling urban water systems, Feb 21-22 2013 in Toronto - call for papers

My note, this is a conference well worth attending, the Convenor is Dr Bill James and the venue is described at the CHIWater link shown below.

Once again it's the time to request one or more abstracts for the Annual International Conference on the Modeling of Urban Water Systems (formerly SWMM users meeting), to be held Feb 21-22 2013 in Toronto (note the venue). As you probably know, this is the 46th (!) meeting in this extraordinary series. This year our featured speakers include many well-known scientists, researchers and engineers (listed on our website).
The meeting is well attended: your audience exceeds 100 folks in your specialty. Also, the meeting is inexpensive, highly-regarded, professional, friendly and collaborative. Proceedings are produced as a peer-reviewed, integrated archival-quality book (you get the previous year's monograph at this conference, two-for-one value). The conference addresses all aspects of urban water systems, including planning, design, construction, operation, monitoring, models, safety, and security; how to manage urban water systems including water supply, drainage, pollution control, domestic, municipal, and industrial waters and stormwater from surface water catchments or ground water; and real-time control along with education, outreach, and practical applications. We welcome abstracts in any and all of the following general categories:; LIDs and BMPs; TMDLs; Urban water disasters, Urban flood management, Land Use; Nonpoint Sources of Pollution; Pavement; Pathogens; Stormwater and Urban drainage; Potable Water Supplies; Water distribution; Water System utilities; and other management and socio-political issues. Although the discussion is generally technical, it meshes well with management and difficult topics connected to urban water and related to computer modeling. Please visit:
http://www.chiwater.com/Training/Conferences/conferencetoronto.asp
Please email your 1-page abstract(s) to me in the next week or so. Alternatively, if you need a more formal invitation or a flyer, let me know.  We look forward to seeing you and your colleagues in Toronto - you won't get a better deal in these economically-challenged times!
