About the workshop
The Workshop provides attendees with up-to-date information and techniques for solving and managing Urban & Rural Drainage Design and Analysis projects, along with reviews of various projects with particular instruction in the use of xpswmm and xpstorm. The agenda will include discussions on runoff methods, the use of closed conduits and open channels, diversion structure and various storage methods. Instruction will be given on data preparation, model applications such as subdivision design and stormwater system analysis, output interpretation, result preparation and many of the new presentation tools now available. Day 3 training includes simulation of urban flooding using 1D, quasi 2D and integrated 1D/2D modelling with xpswmm and xpstorm. There will be a Question/ Answer session at the end of each day to allow participants to put forward specific queries.
Who should attend
The Workshop will be of interest to consultants and government authorities and to engineers, managers and planners involved in stormwater or urban or rural drainage analysis and design. The training will benefit both new and experienced users of the software.
