We have extensive experience with dynamic modeling of hydraulically-complex wastewater collection systems. Models we use include XPSWMM, Hydra, and simple spreadsheets. The impact of wet-weather events (rainfall and snow melt) upon the hydraulic operating characteristics of wastewater conveyance systems are universally understood to be adverse. Because of this, many are now developing hydraulic models of their conveyance systems to:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of how the system normally operates in dry weather and how it currently reacts to various wet-weather events.
- Utilize “real time” flow control strategies within the existing infrastructure (such as flow diversion) to maximize capture and transport of flows to the wastewater plant for ultimate treatment and discharge.
- Analyze future service alternatives to accommodate population growth and infrastructure improvements.
