Check capacity requirements for compliance.Assess the impact of multiple Low Impact Development (LID) practices on storm sewer relief.
Optimize system storage and operation with global optimal (GO-RTC) and passive real-time control modeling.Model dynamic storms with high spatial and temporal variations in rainfall with rain-gage calibrated radar-rainfall.Automate RDII unit hydrograph development with a unique, straightforward RDII calibration process.Quickly determine and assign DWF loadings from lot level water usage data.Simplify diurnal and seasonal dry weather flow (DWF) pattern creation with specialized tools and allocate loads and patterns with fast topological operations.Quickly calibrate any/all model parameters with the exclusive, intuitive Sensitivity-based Radio Tuning Calibration (SRTC) tool.Estimate model parameters from spatial GIS data with powerful topological operations (area-weighting, spatial allocation, etc).Fill in missing values with a wide range of estimators.Data entry error checking, advanced error detection and consistency checks.Quickly perform comprehensive QA/QC on imported data.Automate network construction from imported data.Quickly convert existing older EPA SWMM models to SWMM5.Easily import data from all common GIS, CAD, database, spreadsheet formats.Account for seasonal and event-based groundwater interflow.Accurately model force mains, lift stations and pumps.Simulate valves, gates, inflatable dams, leaping weirs, and other complex flow structures.Model with as much detail as necessary, with optimized performance for large system wide models (100,000+ pipes/nodes).Powerful importing, QA/QC, and network building tools significantly reduce the development time for large models. To streamline the design effort involved in meeting US EPA regulations, including NPDES permits, CMOM, and/or TMDL requirements, PCSWMM provides an efficient set of tools for designing stormwater management control strategies for minimizing combined sewer overflows (CSO), sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), water in basements (WIB), surcharging, street flooding and/or rainfall-dependent inflow and infiltration (RDII).
