Storage Volume vs Depth Equation in SWMM 5

Subject:  Storage Volume vs Depth Equation in SWMM 5

A storage node in SWMM 5 can have either a functional form or a tabular depth/area table.  The area functional form of a storage node is:

Area           =      A * Depth^B + C  and the Volume has the form in  node.c of the SWMM 5 of

Volume     =      A/(B+1)*Depth^(1+B) + C*Depth

For example if C is 25 square meters, A is 20 and the exponent B is 0.5 we get the following values for area and volume and you can also plot a Scatter Plot of Volume vs Depth in SWMM 5 (Figure 1).
