Modified version of EPA SWMM 4.31. The major modifications are: integrated the SCS-CN method into the model to calculate the rainfall-runoff process; allow up to 21 different Manning's coefficients for each cross-section; added 4 more fields to C1 line to calculate the exit, entrance, and other minor losses, and to stretch the pipe based on stability condition automatically create an ASCII file, HYDROG.DAT, containing hydrograph for each subbasin generated after each run.

Only accepted for usage and applicable within Hillsborough County, Florida.

Tomasello Consulting Engineers, Inc. Tomasello Consulting Engineers, Inc.
5906 Center Street
Jupiter, FL 33458
Applicable to a network of rectangular grids. Capable of routings on natural overland sheetflow areas and water management systems with cascading lakes and channels. Computing runoff from either daily or hourly rainfall with design distributions, using SCS formula with soil storage and soil moisture updated on daily basis. Stage/storage, sheetflow cross sections, and soil types are represented in each computational grid entered via GIS. HEC-2 type cross sections can be entered on specific channel grids and minor channels can be embedded on general grids. Evapotranspiration computations are based on seasonal factors and soil moisture of unsaturated and saturated zones. Interactions with the subsurface conditions are handled by MODFLOW routines. Capable of simulating continuous hydrologic conditions. Cannot compute regulatory floodway.

Only accepted for usage in the South Florida Water Management District.

Diffusion flow model that can route unconfined surface and open channel flows. Can be used to model alluvial flooding. Rainfall-runoff output can be used for hydrologic studies. Kinematic routing optional. Floodway concept formulation unavailable. Calibration to actual flood events is recommended.

Only accepted for usage within the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, California.
