              December 7, 2007 class 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Where:   Aurora Room, City of Aurora Municipal Building,

              15151 E. Alameda Parkway, Aurora.

Cost:      $545.00 (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. 

·                     Accuracy and consistency in stormwater modeling; 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 seasons.

·                     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 SWMM5 and CUHP2005 models at a 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.
