Stormwater Planning & Design Using EPA SWMM 5.0
When: December 11 & 12, 2008 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Where: Aurora Room, City of Aurora Municipal Building,
15151 E. Alameda Parkway, Aurora.
Cost: $595.00 (includes class notes and software)
CEU’s: You will be eligible to receive 1.6 CEU’s or 16 PDH’s for this course
What Will You Learn?
- Overview of Snyder, NRCS (SCS), CUHP,and Kinematic Wave (KW)methods for storm water modeling.
- Accuracy and consistency in stormwater modeling; how to do effective modeling without loss of accuracy.
- Selection of width parameter and Manning’s n for SWMM5.
- Calibrating SWMM5 and why this model needs to be calibrated.
- How to model urban conveyance/storage/diversion/pumps.
- Event-based watershed model and input and output analyses.
- Analyzing minimized directly connected impervious area (MDCIA) methodology using SWMM5.
- Continuous simulation model and frequency analysis.
- Water volume budget and monthly statistical analyses for long-term detention basin operation.
- Wetland sustainability and threshold analysis during drought season.
- Long-term overflow risk and runoff volume capture analyses for water quality basin operation
- Review of dynamic wave (DW) model option and its applications under backwater effects.
- Numerical tests and stability criteria for DW simulations.
- KW and DW watershed models using design storms and continuous simulation
- KW and DW storm sewer models using design storms and continuous simulation
Much of the above will be done by working on problems in a workshop format.
Prerequisites:
Working knowledge of how to use SWMM and CUHP at a very basic level. This class is intended to introduce the student to intermediate and some advanced uses of SWMM 5.0.
Lead Instructor:
Lead: Dr. James C.Y Guo, PE, PhD; University of Colorado at Denver Department of Civil Engineering
Assistant.: Ben Urbonas, PE, D.WRE; Urban Drainage & Flood Control District
Both have extensive experience in using earlier and current version of EPA SWMM and CUHP models in planning, system analysis and design projects.
Computers - bring your own. Some will be provided.
The size of the classroom will be limited to provide more direct contact with the instructors. To assure a space, fill out the accompanying enrollment form and send it to the address on the form as early as possible.
