    10 yr existing storm event greater than proposed

    I'm comparing 2, 10 & 100yr existing events to 2, 10, & 100yr proposed events for an infiltration basin design. I can't figure out why my rates work for the 2 & 100 events, but the 10yr existing is greater than the 100yr existing. I've never had this happen before. Does anyone have an idea of...

    Fire Flow Modeling Software

    Does anyone know a good software program for modeling fire flow other than WaterCAD? I cant stand their download / support and we are constantly being over charged for "using the wrong version". Thanks

    Notched weir wall modeling question

    What is the correct way to model a notched weir wall? I have a 0.25’ by 1ft tall notch in my weir wall. The wall is 6 ft wide (inside diameter of the structure). I received a review comment from the governing unit in charge instructing that the weir width should be modeled as 5.75ft as .25 ft...

    HydroCAD Weir With Oriface Model

    I need to model and outlet from a wetland. The wetland outlets through a 21" pipe draining to a structure with a 9" vertical Orifice within a 2ft high 4ft wide weir wall, then to a 24" pipe out to another wetland. I Set the model up to route the 21" pipe to the 9" orifice, then the orifice...

    Infiltration Trench

    Does anyone have a good way to model a sloped infiltration trench? I have a 5 ft wide trench, 3 feet deep with, 300ft long at about 1.5% slope. Do you just set up the model with multiple custom stage storage? Do you need to have some sort of outlet from each storage to the next?

    Fire Flow Model - WaterCAD

    Im working on a fire flow model using WaterCAD. I have to meet two requirements - first is maintain 1500gpm @ 20psi while flowing the two highest/remote hydrants simultaneously. The second is to achieve 2000gpm @ 20 psi on the highest hydrant flowed individually. I get the same results for...

    Modeling 10 day snow melt

    Anyone know how to correctly model the 10-day 100-yr snow melt with HydroCAD? I have set up my model with storm type as the Spillway 1-day 10 day, duration for 240 hrs, and adjusted my AMC to be 4 (using Atlas 14 rainfall). This still indicates that I would be getting infiltration out of my...
