Learning SWMM

I need to use SWMM to calculate the surface runoff in City. Please can advise me how to do it?

Please Sent me Guideline SWMM to calculate the surface runoff in City. Please Sent me Example SWMM to calculate the surface runoff in City (Case Study) Too.

The EPA Website has a lot of information on how to use EPA SWMM, references on how to use SWMM and sample files (via the install) https://www.epa.gov/water-research/storm-water-management-model-swmm
the help file has an attached tutorial for showing you how to enter data. The SWMM5 install includes these sample files.

EXAMPLE DATA SETS

Several example data sets have been included with this package. They are placed in a sub-folder named EPA SWMM Projects\Examples in your My Documents folder. Each example consists of a .INP file that holds the model data and a .TXT file with suggestions on running it.

* EXAMPLE1.INP models runoff quantity and quality from a small watershed and its routing through a network of storm sewers. It can be run in either single event mode or in continuous mode using the companion rainfall file sta310301.dat.

* EXAMPLE2.INP is Example 1 of the 1988 EXTRAN Users Manual. It illustrates how SWMM 5 can graphically compare its results to observed data stored in a text file (extran1.dat).

* EXAMPLE3.INP illustrates the use of the rule-based controls feature in SWMM 5 for simulating real-time control.

* EXAMPLE4.INP shows how the LID controls feature in SWMM 5 was used to reduce runoff produced froma 29 acre mixed development site.

* EXAMPLE5.INP shows how to setup a simple groundwater model in SWMM.

* EXAMPLE6.INP models a culvert with roadway overtopping and upstream storage using the FHWA HDS-5 methodology.

Thanks, that is a very nice collection of models associated with SWMM, Mike.

Thank you very much.

Please do not you have any educational videos about SWMM ?

I don't know which country you are in but if you search from Google for swmm5 youtube you should find a variety of videos on SWMM5 in English but some other languages as well
