What you can do with InfoSWMM
-
CSO and SSO Control
InfoSWMM assists you to reduce your chances of being caught off guard by Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) or Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). Conduct extensive backflow, surcharge, and overflow analysis so you have a full understanding of your networks to develop proactive strategies for reducing CSO and SSO events.
-
Protect Water Quality
In addition to modeling the generation and transport of runoff flows, InfoSWMM can estimate product, fate, and treatment of pollution loads associated with this runoff. You can simulate dry weather pollutant buildup based on land use, pollutant wash-off during storm events, and dry weather entry of sanitary flows. Use your model to design reduction strategies to keep your system and the receiving waters healthy.
-
Sustainable Management of Runoff
With InfoSWMM Sustain, you can model green roofs, porous pavements, swales and more. Using your GIS data, you can site basins, constructed wetlands, rain barrels, cisterns, and other low-impact development (LID) infrastructure. These add-ons can help you evaluate best management practices for reducing volume and peak flow while addressing water quality in an ecologically sound manner.
-
Clear Interpretation of Results
Turn database results into rich representations that are accessible and clearly understood. Visual results analysis gives you the answers you need from your storm, sanitary, and combined sewer models. Color coded maps and versatile reporting formats provide stakeholders with actionable insights from model outputs. You can confidently plan capacity improvements or perform thorough overflow and flood risk assessments.
-
RDII Analysis
Excessive wet weather flow resulting from rainfall-derived inflow and infiltration (RDII) is a major source of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). InfoSWMM lets you leverage time-series monitoring data that is quality checked to seek RDII inputs for model calibration. Additionally, InfoSWMM determines if RDII and groundwater flow components are prevalent enough to cause SSOs and other operational problems.
-
Growth Projections
InfoSWMM empowers system managers to develop long term plans for their stormwater and sanitary networks. Effectively model for system expansions resulting from population growth, changes to the climate, and other foreseeable future impacts on system integrity. Adopt proactive system management for a resilient system for years to come.
