Introduction

Welcome to PCSWMM 2006, the graphical decision support system for the US EPA SWMM4 program. Our software team is proud to make available this powerful, comprehensive, and flexible design environment for SWMM4-based storm water and waste water management modeling. The following pages highlight some of the more interesting features of PCSWMM 2006.

The value of PCSWMM 2006

PCSWMM 2006 provides a large array of file management, time series management and editing, model development, model calibration, dynamic output visualization, and reference tools for the storm water modeler. Written for Windows 2000 and XP, PCSWMM 2006 has taken a new approach to provide a unprecedented level of simplicity and power at a remarkable price point.

For a fraction of the price of competing software, PCSWMM 2006 supports unlimited model sizes (1000's of elements), provides a complete array of graphical and dynamic model management, development and analysis tools and goes further to provide some unique tools such as automatic sensitivity, calibration and error analysis (SCEA), as well as storm water modeling bibliographic databases, rainfall analysis tools, data processing, a BMP wizard, and integration with the Internet.

PCSWMM 2006 is specifically designed for the US EPA SWMM4 program. For US EPA SWMM5 modeling, we recommend the completely new and extremely powerful PCSWMM.NET software. PCSWMM.NET is a significantly better environment for US EPA SWMM5 modeling, however it does not support the US EPA SWMM4 program.

PCSWMM 2006 is distributed with the latest version of SWMM4.4h, as well as a selection of previous versions. PCSWMM provides full support for all modules of SWMM4, including the Rain, Temperature, Runoff, Transport, Extran, Storage/Treatment, Combine and Statistics modules.
