About the workshop
xpswmm models are used to simulate the hydraulics in stormwater, sanitary sewer systems and of flooding situations. This course will cover the software interface, creation and manipulation of models, dry and wet weather flows, LID Modeling, 2D modeling and more.
Course Agenda
The first day will focus on basic and intermediate stormwater modeling, starting with basic hydrology and hydraulics. The second day will then move into simulating Low Impact development and open channel modeling. The latter part of Day 2 will introduce 1D/2D modeling. The final day will continue with 1D/2D modeling in urban areas including the simulation of flood wall failure. The last half of the day will be dedicated to sanitary and combined sewer modeling.
Note:
Classes run 8:30 to 5:00. Fifteen minute breaks will be taken at about 10:00 am and 2:30 pm each day. A 1 hour lunch will be taken at about noon each day.
