I have recently had the opportunity to extend my modeling capabilities by learning SWMM5. The training that I went through was a web-based course offered by Computational Hydraulics International (CHI), who offers their own SWMM software toolset that goes by the name of PCSWMM. The training included the following SWMM capabilities and uses:
-Hydrologic routing using RADAR, rain gages, or synthetic events.
-Steady state and dynamic hydraulic modeling of piped and open channel networks.
-Event-based and continuous modeling.
-Detention pond design.
-Land use – based water quality modeling and evaluation of best management practices (BMPs).
-Sanitary sewer dry weather flow (DWF) and rainfall derived inflow and infiltration (RDII).
-Sensitivity, calibration, and error analysis.
