About This Application Manual

This manual has been prepared to serve as one of the practical application guides for those GeoSWMM users who have already acquired the basics of hydrology, storm water management modeling and EPASWMM. In Tutorial 02, the study area has natural channels and underground circular pipes as its conveyance system. For small and frequent events, the storm water is carried out by these conduits and routed to the outlet; while in case of large storm event, they surcharge and flood and storm water flows on the street then. To convey this flow some roadside gutters are added to the network and they work as the surface channel during heavy storm. This tutorial will demonstrate on how to model this dual drainage system and analyze the performance of the system.

In the next chapter, this document will describe the worked-out tutorial with illustration.
