What Is SWMM?
SWMM is a distributed, dynamic rainfall-runoff simulation model used for single event or long-term (continuous) simulation of runoff quantity and quality from primarily urban areas.

Hydrologic Modeling Features Spatially and time varying rainfall Evaporation of standing surface water Snow accumulation and melting Interception from depression storage Infiltration into soil layers Percolation into shallow groundwater Interflow between groundwater & channels Nonlinear routing of overland flow
66
Hydraulic Modeling Features Handles drainage networks of any size Accommodates various conduit shapes as well as
irregular natural channels Models pumps, regulators, storage units Allows external inflows from runoff, groundwater,
RDII, sanitary, DWF, and user-supplied time series Uses flexible rule-based controls for pumps and
regulators Models various flow regimes, such as backwater,
surcharging, reverse flow, and surface ponding
