    Other external programs that aid in the generation of data for the EPA SWMM 5 model include: SUSTAIN, [22] BASINS, [23] SSOAP, [24] and the EPA’s National Stormwater Calculator (SWC) [17] which is a desktop application that estimates the annual amount of rainwater and frequency of runoff from a specific site anywhere in the United States ...

  3. Culvert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culvert

    A culvert under the Vistula river levee and a street in Warsaw. Construction or installation at a culvert site generally results in disturbance of the site's soil, stream banks, or stream bed, and can result in the occurrence of unwanted problems such as scour holes or slumping of banks adjacent to the culvert structure.

  4. Retention basin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retention_basin

    Storm water is typically channeled to a retention basin through a system of street and/or parking lot storm drains, and a network of drain channels or underground pipes.. The basins are designed to allow relatively large flows of water to enter, but discharges to receiving waters are limited by outlet structures that function only during very large storm eve

  5. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    The standard step method (STM) is a computational technique utilized to estimate one-dimensional surface water profiles in open channels with gradually varied flow under steady state conditions.

  6. Spillway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spillway

    A spillway is located at the top of the reservoir pool. Dams may also have bottom outlets with valves or gates which may be operated to release flood flow, and a few dams lack overflow spillways and rely entirely on bottom outlets. Cross-section of typical spillway with Tainter gates

    Storm drain grate on a street in Warsaw, Poland Storm drain with its pipe visible beneath it due to construction work. A storm drain, storm sewer (United Kingdom, U.S. and Canada), highway drain, [1] surface water drain/sewer (United Kingdom), or stormwater drain (Australia and New Zealand) is infrastructure designed to drain excess rain and ground water from impervious surfaces such as paved ...

  8. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

    Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. When the cross-section is uniform along the tube or channel length, it is defined as [1] [2] =, where A is the cross-sectional area of the flow, P is the wetted perimeter of the cross-section.

  9. Runoff curve number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_curve_number

    The runoff curve number (also called a curve number or simply CN) is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. [1]
