Six Depth and Flow Processes in #SWMM5

This is a backup post to go with the EPA hydrology manual (Manual I) which can download in PDF format here

https://www.epa.gov/water-research/storm-water-management-model-swmm#downloads

There are three runoff surfaces on a SWMM5 Subcatchment: Impervious with depression storage, Impervious without depression storage and pervious area with depression storage (Figure 1).  The depression storage can be zero in all cases.

Figure 1.  Three Runoff Areas for Subcatchments in SWMM5

You can see the flow from all three areas (Figure 2).  If you look at the following graph the flow in the impervious and pervious area with depression storage is delayed as the depth in the area has to increase enough to reach the depression storage as you can see in Figure 3-2 from the EPA Manual.

Figure 2. Graphs of Three Runoff Surfaces or Areas + Total Runoff

You can see the depth from all three areas (Figure 3).  If you look at the following graph the flow in the impervious and pervious area with depression storage is greater than the depth in the impervious area with depression storage as the runoff commences right away in the area without depression storage.

In Figure 4 you can see the Runoff from the Pervious area does not occur until the depth in the pervious area is greater than the depression storage of 1 inches.

For Thesis Students:  Visual INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPILING SWMM5.DLL USING MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 2010/2012
=========================
The following is based on the readme.txt for compiling that EPA distributes with the SWMM5 install

1. Open the file swmm5.c in a text editor and make sure that the
   compiler directives at the top of the file read as follows:
       //#define CLE
       //#define SOL
       #define DLL   or the DLL will be created

2. Create a sub-directory named VC2010_DLL under the directory where
   the SWMM 5 Engine source code files are stored and copy SWMM5.DEF
   and VC2010-DLL.VCPROJ to it.

3. Launch Visual C++ 2010 and use the File / Open command to open
   the VC2010-DLL.VCPROJ file.

4. Issue the Build >> Configuration Manager command and select the
   Release configuration.

5. Issue the Build VC2010-DLL command to build SWMM5.DLL
   (which will appear in the Release subdirectory underneath the
   VC2010-DLL directory).

NOTE: The VC-2010 project file includes Open MP support which is
      only available with the Professional and higher versions of
      the compiler.

Innovyze Releases InfoSWMM SA Product Portfolio of Next-Generation GIS-Based Sewer Modeling Solutions

Revolutionary Release Powers Advanced GIS-Enabled Sewer Network Modeling Applications in Stand-Alone Environment, Dramatically Expands Geospatial Simulation Capabilities and Flexibility for High-Performance Analysis

Broomfield, Colorado, USA, February 21, 2017

Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced the worldwide release of the InfoSWMM SA (Stand-Alone) product portfolio. Marrying the most advanced engineering-GIS capabilities and functionality with the physics-based world of wastewater and stormwater network simulation, the new InfoSWMM SA product family provides a complete stand-alone infrastructure that addresses all sewer network modeling applications. It is the next-generation of the H2OMAP SWMM product portfolio.

Available today, the unique InfoSWMM SA architecture enables organizations to leverage all the GIS capabilities and functionality of ArcGIS-integrated InfoSWMM to deliver comprehensive geospatial network modeling. The GIS-based stand-alone architecture comes equipped with everything wastewater/stormwater utility owner-operators need to best plan, design, operate, secure and sustain their collection systems. It comprises InfoSWMM SA, InfoSWMM SA 2D (two-dimensional surface flood modeling), InfoSWMM SA Sustain (optimal selection and placement of green infrastructure) and InfoSWMM SA SFEM (dynamic sewer flow estimation model).

These advancements propel the InfoSWMM SA family of solutions into the next generation of stand-alone engineering-GIS modeling, furthering Innovyze’s time-honored practice of continually adding critical value to its software and bringing unsurpassed modeling and design capabilities into the mainstream. The suite has the robustness and feature set needed to handle the most demanding analyses. Yet it’s intuitive enough for new users to master without a drawn-out learning curve, making it the ultimate GIS-based decision support tool for sewer collection systems. Like all Innovyze products, InfoSWMM SA is backed by unparalleled high-touch technical support. For an even faster return on investment, organizations may opt to call on Innovyze Implementation Services to accelerate deployment, integration and implementation of best modeling practices.

“The InfoSWMM SA product portfolio represents the most significant leap forward in stand-alone GIS-based network modeling,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, Dist.M.ASCE, NAE, President, COO and Chief Innovation Officer of Innovyze. “We’re excited to offer this breakthrough GIS-based framework across our entire H2OMAP SWMM portfolio, along with our mission-critical two-dimensional surface flood modeling (InfoSWMM SA 2D) and green infrastructure optimization (InfoSWMM SA Sustain) applications for the first time. This powerful  portfolio will create a compelling advantage for wastewater/stormwater utilities worldwide, making it easier for them to operate, manage and sustain high-performing, highly efficient collection systems — imperative in today’s economy — and meet the needs of their customers. No other company in the world can match the comprehensiveness of our collection system modeling solution set or provide the same level of GIS integration. Our superior smart sewer network modeling and management solutions suite provides wastewater operators and engineers with the ultimate decision support tool for optimal results.”

#LID Defaults from the EPA SWC

The following defaults are from the EPA Stormwater Calculator

https://www.epa.gov/water-research/national-stormwater-calculator

A few of these parameters such as the capture ratio are not parameters in InfoSWMM Sustain

There are some additional points to keep in mind when applying LID controls to a site:

1.      The area devoted to Disconnection, Rain Gardens, and Infiltration Basins is assumed to come from the site’s collective amount of pervious land cover while the area occupied by Green Roofs, Street Planters and Porous Pavement comes from the site’s store of impervious area.

2.      Underdrains (slotted pipes placed in the gravel beds of Street Planter and Porous Pavement areas to prevent the unit from flooding) are not provided for. However since underdrains are typically oversized and placed at the top of the unit’s gravel bed, the effect on the amount of excess runoff flow bypassed by the unit is the same whether it flows out of the underdrain or simply runs off of a flooded surface.

3.      The amount of void space in the soil, gravel, and pavement used in the LID controls are listed in Table 4 below. They typically have a narrow range of acceptable values and results are not terribly sensitive to variations within this range.

Table 3. Editable LID parameters.

LID Type	Parameter	Default Value
Disconnection	Capture Ratio	100 %
Rain Harvesting	Cistern Size	100 gal
	Cistern Emptying Rate	50 gal/day
	Number of Cisterns	4 per 1,000 sq ft
Rain Gardens	Capture Ratio	5 %
	Ponding Depth	6 inches
	Soil Media Thickness	12 inches
	Soil Media Conductivity	10 inches/hour
Green Roofs	Soil Media Thickness	4 inches
	Soil Media Conductivity	10 inches/hour
Street Planters	Capture Ratio	6 %
	Ponding Depth	6 inches
	Soil Media Thickness	18 inches
	Soil Media Conductivity	10 inches/hour
	Gravel Bed Thickness	12 inches
Infiltration Basins	Capture Ratio	5 %
	Basin Depth	6 inches
Porous Pavement	Capture Ratio	100 %
	Pavement Thickness	4 inches
	Gravel Bed Thickness	18 inches

Property	LID Controls	Default Value
Soil Media Porosity	Rain Gardens, Green Roofs and Street Planters	45 %
Gravel Bed Void Ratio	Street Planters and Porous Pavement	75 %
Pavement Void Ratio	Porous Pavement	12 %
