Updates to EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM)
Citation:
Simon, M. Updates to EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). EPA Water Modeling Workgroup, Cincinnati, Ohio, May 12, 2021.
Impact/Purpose:
EPA’s Water Modeling Workgroup (WMW) sponsors an ongoing series of two-hour webinars to help water quality professionals better understand surface water quality models and how they can be used to address water quality problems. Under An Introduction to Water Modeling, the first three webinars cover modeling basics such as selecting, developing, and running hydrology and water quality models. Subsequent webinars focus on modeling specific pollutants and parameters (for example, nutrients, sediment, metals), specific types of models, and modeling at different scales. This subsequent presentation will be on EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) which is used throughout the world for planning, analysis, and design related to stormwater runoff, combined and sanitary sewers, and other drainage systems in urban areas. There are many applications for drainage systems in urban and non-urban areas. SWMM is a dynamic hydrology-hydraulic water quality simulation model. It is used for single event or long-term (continuous) simulation of runoff quantity and quality.

It is used for single event or long-term (continuous) simulation of runoff quantity and quality. This presentation is an update of a February 2018 presentation, "An Introduction to SWMM," and will cover new features added to SWMM.
