PCSWMM CONSTANT STORAGE PLUS
Hydrologic: includes rainfall-runoff simulation plus reservoir/channel routing.More complex modeling should utilize hydrologic modeling which incorporate rainfall-runoff functions. Rainfall-Runoff Calculation Tool: peak flow, runoff volume, and hydrograph functions, only.The following definitions apply to the model functions.
For water quality models, the tables indicate whether the model is a receiving waters model, a loading model, or a BMP analysis model. The tables show the relative levels of complexity of necessary input data, indicate whether the model can complete a continuous analysis or is event based, list whether the model is in the public domain, and for hydraulic models indicate whether unsteady flow calculations can be conducted.
PCSWMM CONSTANT STORAGE SOFTWARE
The tables shown at the bottom of this page summarize some of the commonly used modeling software and modeling functions and the main purpose for which they were developed (NOTE: the information in these tables can be downloaded as an Excel file). Hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality models all have different purposes and will provide different information. Inclusion of these models does not represent an endorsement by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Information: several proprietary software models are included in this discussion.
