Low Impact Development Options in H2OMAP SWMM and InfoSWMM

Subject:  Low Impact Development Options in H2OMAP SWMM and InfoSWMM

Low Impact Development Options in H2OMAP SWMM and InfoSWMM

by dickinsonre
Subject:  Low Impact Development Options in H2OMAP SWMM and InfoSWMM

The five options are:

1.       Rain Barrel
2.      Bio Retention Cell
3.      Infiltration Trench
4.      Vegetative Swale
5.      Porous Pavement 
and be entered as controls in the Hydrology Section of the Operations Browser of H2OMAP SWMM or InfoSWMM (Figure 1)

Figure 1.  The Attribute Browser Operation Tab allows you to enter LID Controls for your LID Modeling.

Map Display of LID Usage in SWMM 5

Subject:   Map Display of LID Usage in SWMM 5

A new Map Display feature in SWMM 5.0.022 is the LID Usage parameter which shows you whether a Subcatchment has LID’s or not.   You use it by using Map Display and choosing LID Usage as the Map Display.  LID - Low Impact Development.

Green Roof LID Control in SWMM 5

Subject:  Green Roof LID Control in SWMM 5

I saw this on the Daily Dish, http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2011/07/roo.html, it is an extremely green roof but a roof that can be simulated in SWMM 5.  You simulated it as a Bio Retention Cell with a Surface, Soil, Storage and an Underdrain to the Gutters of the roof.  You can also have a rain barrel connected to the gutters to storage and drain the rainfall.

Chesapeake Bay Panel - "LID and the Chesapeake TMDL"

Chesapeake Bay
Moderator: Robert G. Traver, PhD, PE, WRE 
Professor and Director, VCASE and VUSP,
Conference Chair
The purpose of this panel is to discuss the role of LID in meeting the TMDL requirements for Nitrogen and Phosphorus reductions in the Chesapeake Bay. Each panelist will be asked to first make a brief overview of their thoughts on the issue. A moderated discussion will follow based upon submitted questions to the moderator. Please feel free to submit questions prior to the conference to the moderator.
