Need Speed? Get Model Simulation Results, When You Need Them

Posted on September 6, 2018 by Matthew Anderson

There’s no shortage of modeling packages available to calculate flooding depths. But what if you need to model 1D infrastructure and 2D surface flooding? Freely available 2D analysis tools can take hours, or days, to run complex rainfall scenarios and … Continue reading →

Atlas 14 Temporals for XPSWMM

Posted on June 29, 2018 by Matthew Anderson

Back in January, we introduced the capabilities of XPSWMM that allows a modeler the ability to perform an ensemble-based critical duration analysis using the NOAA Atlas 14 Temporal Distributions. As the NRCS, formerly the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), retires the legacy … Continue reading →

Continuous Simulation: Make Stormwater Assets Great Again

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Anthony Kuch

More than twenty years ago I wrote a Master’s Thesis about software tools that could be put together with EPA SWMM to create a toolbox for very long term continuous simulation for stormwater and watershed simulations.  I was inspired at … Continue reading →
