    Watershed Mode Calibration

    No, RWF7437, I'm in Canada.

    Watershed Mode Calibration

    Thank you for all your inputs. The local regulatory agency thought my predevelopment rate is higher compared to the established value in the regional drainage basin (3500 km2) stormwater management study. As some of you pointed out that the number 1.2 cm/s I got seems lower instead of higher...

    Watershed Mode Calibration

    I found the article "Voodoo Hydrology" and will spend some time on it. Now I'm using EPA SWMM5 to compare the results. One question is how I can convert rain fall data from IDF curve to temporal 24 hour synthetic rainfall distribution and input it in the model? Anyone can help? Thanks

    Watershed Mode Calibration

    Depending on the model selected, the results could be significantly different. If we use the same method to design the detention ponds to restrict the flow to predevelopment rate, the sizes of the ponds required resulting from different methods would be slightly different. What would you think...

    Watershed Mode Calibration

    If I use SCS method, the predevelopment peak discharge rate would be over 3 cm/s. It sounds a big number to me.

    Watershed Mode Calibration

    I selected Rational method. The predevelopment flow rate I got from the model is 1.25 cubic meter per second.

    Watershed Mode Calibration

    Hi All, I used Eaglepoint Watershed modeling for our stormwater management design. Somehow the local regulartory agency thought our predevelopment flow rate is higher compared to the established value in the vicinity of our project land, and asked us to do model calibration with the nearby...

    Storm sewer location

    Hello Everyone, I'm wondering what are the pros and cons of placing the storm sewers under the road with catch basins on the sides versus storm sewers under gutter with catch basin manholes on the sewer side and catch basins on the other side. any thoughts? Thank you, Altime
