Photo image area measures 2” H x 6.93” W and can be masked by a collage strip of one, two or three images.
The photo image area is located 3.19” from left and 3.81” from top of page.
Each image used in collage should be reduced or cropped to a maximum of 2” high, stroked with a 1.5 pt white frame and positioned edge-to-edge with accompanying images.

What is SWMM?
2
SWMM is a public domain, distributed, dynamic hydrologic - hydraulic -water quality model used for continuous simulation of runoff quantity and quality from primarily urban areas.

What is it Used For?
4
Design and sizing of drainage system components including detention facilities.
Control of combined and sanitary sewer overflows.
Modeling I&I in sanitary sewer systems.
Generating non-point source pollutant loadings for waste load allocation studies.
Evaluating BMPs and LIDs for sustainability goals.
Flood plain mapping of natural channel systems.

How had it evolved?

Version Year Contributors Comments
SWMM I 1971 Metcalf & Eddy, Inc.
Water Resources
Engineers
University of Florida
First version of SWMM; focus
was CSO modeling; few of its
methods are still used today.
SWMM II 1975 University of Florida First widely distributed version
of SWMM.
SWMM 3 1981 University of Florida
Camp Dresser & McKee
Full dynamic wave flow routing,
Green-Ampt infiltration, snow
melt, and continuous simulation
added.
SWMM 3.3 1983 EPA First PC version of SWMM.
SWMM 4 1988 Oregon State University
Camp Dresser & McKee
Groundwater, RDII, irregular
channel cross-sections and other
refinements added over a series
of updates throughout the
1990’s.

Why Redevelop SWMM
• Archaic file structure & linking
• No graphical user interface
• 50,000+ lines of sparsely documented FORTRAN
code
• Problematic flow routing performance (at times)
• Outdated process models (not really)
• Uneven user documentation
6
![Page 7: SWMM 5 – A Case Study of Model Redevelopment](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022000/58a16e9e1a28ab8e608b6212/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What Were Our Goals
• Re-write the SWMM engine using an object-based
approach
• Provide SWMM with a graphical user interface
• Improve key computational aspects
• Maintain compatibility with SWMM 4
• Provide a complete set of documentation
• Do all this with no expenditure of extramural funds

• Formed an advisory panel to get direction and buy-in from SWMM gurus
• Entered into a no-cost CRADA with CDM-Smith to benefit from their long-term use & knowledge of SWMM
• Re-programmed all hydrology and hydraulics algorithms in house
• Used a previously developed GUI (for water distribution systems) as a template for the SWMM GUI
• Developed a Quality Assurance Plan to formalize code testing procedures
• Conducted beta testing with a select group of users

Keys to Successful Model Redevelopment (on a budget)
• Have a vision of the new model’s structure and the
kind of GUI it will require
• Try to keep code development in-house
• Have staff on hand who can answer users’ questions
• Weigh the merits of maintaining backwards
compatibility versus improving process models
• Budget twice as much time as you think it will take
