MWH Soft announces availability of InfoSWMM 2D

24 May 2010

The geospatial modelling solution is designed for building and analysing comprehensive 2D models which simulate urban stormwater, sanitary sewers, river flooding and pollutant transport.

The software from MWH Soft allows engineers to accurately model two-dimensional (2D) above-ground urban and rural flooding combined with the power of one-dimensional (1D) hydraulic and water quality sewer systems analysis, within the ArcGIS environment.
 

InfoSWMM 2D can be used to model the entire land phase of the hydrologic cycle as applied to urban stormwater systems. The model can perform single-event or long-term (continuous) rainfall/runoff simulations accounting for climate, soil, land use and topographic conditions of the watershed. InfoSWMM 2D can also predict runoff quality, including build-up and wash-off of pollutants from primarily urban watersheds. The software features Real-Time Control (RTC) schemes for the operational control and management of hydraulic structures.
 

The software from MWH Soft can also be used to simulate and analyse tidal surges, dam breaks and breaches on sewer networks. The combined water level and velocity results throughout the flooded areas can be viewed as graphs, tables or animated, thematic flood maps.
