Announcing upcoming venues for comprehensive US EPA SWMM5 and PCSWMM.NET training in February, March and April, 2008:  

If these locations are not suitable, there is a self-paced web workshop available. This training workshop over the web involves sixteen hours of self-paced training over a five day period.   

PCSWMM.NET and the US EPA SWMM5 form a combined software package that will enhance and speed your stormwater and sanitary drainage modeling and design.

The package includes time-limited software, workshop training, training materials, documentation, manuals, and covers the PCSWMM.NET graphical decision support system as well as the internals of the US EPA SWMM5 program.
 

The workshops teach how typical real-life problems can be solved in a few hours. For more information and/or to register, please see:

US EPA SWMM5
The US Environment Protection Agency Stormwater Management Model (SWMM5) is an open-source, comprehensive model for continuous and single-event simulation of runoff quantity and quality for both stormwater and sanitary sewers. It can model: dynamic storms; pollutant build-up, wash-off and transport; infiltration and inflow; dynamic routing; surcharging; storage ponds; storage treatment; diversions; pumping stations; and much more. Established and continuously developed for 35 years, SWMM is simple to run, and is used as effectively on small as on large studies. SWMM5 is the latest release.

PCSWMM.NET
PCSWMM.NET (used in the workshops to apply SWMM) is an all new GIS-based comprehensive graphical decision support system for SWMM5 storm sanitary and combined sewer modeling. It is a fully-featured urban drainage system modeling package, with no limitations on model size or complexity, includes a complete, smart GIS engine, tailored to urban drainage modeling (no 3rd party licenses required) and provides native support for a large number of GIS formats, as well as powerful topological operators and querying. PCSWMM.NET provides advanced versions of all the standard urban drainage modeling visualization techniques, including animated hydraulic grade line and energy grade line profiles, plan-view thematic coloring, powerful and flexible graphing, as well as on-the-fly statistical and error analysis. It automatically maintains standard SWMM5 models from GIS data and synchronizes in both directions, thus providing complete data compatibility with all other SWMM5-based software tools. 

Applications

With over 3000 licenses, PCSWMM has been the leading decision support system for US EPA SWMM since it's inception in 1984. Applied in thousands of sewer and storm water studies throughout the world (over 50 countries), typical applications of PCSWMM include:

• design and sizing of drainage system components for flood control

• sizing of detention facilities and their appurtenances for flood control and water quality protection

• designing control strategies for minimizing combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs)

• evaluating the impact of rainfall-dependant inflow and infiltration (RDII) on sanitary sewer overflows and water-in-basements (WIBs)

• dual-drainage (major/minor system) modeling and design, including dynamic interaction of dual systems

• evaluating global optimal and/or passive real-time control (GO RTC) operational strategies

• flood plain mapping of natural channel systems

• integrated catchment/watershed management modeling, including rural areas, river systems, urban sewer systems, treatment plants and receiving waters

• generating non-point source pollutant loadings for waste load allocation studies

• evaluating the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs) and/or low impact developments (LIDs) for reducing wet weather pollutant loadings

• evaluating strategies for NPDES Permits, CMOM, and TMDL requirements.

 CEUs
Each participant will earn 1.5 Continuing Education Units for the two day workshop (0.75 CEUs per day).

Fees
$945 for the two-day workshop and one-month time-limited PCSWMM.NET software license, or $1,940.95 for the two-day workshop with a full single-user license of PCSWMM.NET software (a $500 savings).
