Things that Happened Before You were Born

Things that Happened Before You were Born

• (The earth and SWMM were created)
• a story by
• Dr. Larry A. Roesner, Ph.D.,P.E.
• based (loosely) on biblical quotes
• and his own bigger than life experiences

Actually very loosely

The earth and SWMM parallels

• In the beginning, there was the Rational Method

The earth and SWMM parallels
And darkness covered the drainage world because
of the limited applicability of the Rational
Method
4
The earth and SWMM parallels

• Then forward looking engineers said let there be
  light

• And so, they created more rational models
• SCS TR20 and TR55
• HEC-1,2,3,4,5,6, and RAS
• SWMM

5
The earth and SWMM parallels

• SCS Method accounts for initial soil moisture and
  time varying C
• Runoff hydrographs can be computed

6
The earth and SWMM parallels

• HEC model produces runoff hydrograph from
  rainfall hyetograph using unit hydrograph
  technique (Who knows the Schneider coefficient
  for a 30 pervious urban area? )
• Hydrologic routing produces channel flows
• Hec 2 computes steady state backwater through
  maximum discharge profile

7
The earth and SWMM parallels

• SWMM was to be the mother of all models
• It would trace runoff from its point of origin,
  through the stormwater system to and through the
  receiving waters, computing flows and water
  levels
• It would trace wet weather pollution from its
  point of origin to its final fate in the
  receiving waters

The earth and SWMM parallels
And so it was, and (most) Civil Engineers saw the
models and they were good.

• And so they rested,

for 30yrs!!?

This presentation is an embellishment of the road
culvert example contained in the Mike SWMM
documentation. In order to see the results of
road overtopping, the weirs at nodes 110 and 60
have been changed to box conduits. Three
simuations were performed o The "existing"
condition File name Exam11e.dat - culvert 110
diameter 1.0 ft - culvert 60 diameter 3.0
ft o The "existing" condition File name
Exam11p1.dat - culvert 110 diameter 2.0
ft - culvert 60 diameter 3.5 ft o The
"existing" condition File name Exam11p2.dat -
culvert 110 diameter 4.0 ft - culvert 60
diameter 5.0 ft The first simulation shows
severe overtopping of the road at both location,
with prolonged backwater at junction 110. The
second simulation shows much improvement, and the
third simulation shows the problem fixed except
for a small 15 minute overtopping of the the road
at junction 110. Modifications by LAR 12/2/98
