A GIS-based Subcatchments Division Approach for SWMM
نویسنده
چکیده
Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is a digital hydrological model which is widely used for the simulation of rainfall-runoff processes in urban catchment. SWMM is a distributed model, which means a study urban catchment needs to be divided into several irregular subcatchments first before simulation. However, most of the existing subcatchments division approaches for the SWMM are not able to capture the characteristics of the spatial variability in topography and hydro information of urban catchment. In this paper, a new subcatchment-division approach for SWMM is proposed. Two existing division method are combined together in this approach by using Geographic Information System (GIS), which can make the subcatchments fully reflect the hydrological features of the urban catchment, thus further improve the simulation results of SWMM. The actual application results show that the SWMM using the subcatchment dividing by the approach in this paper is more reliable than other existing SWMM in urban region.

Suburban areas are subject to strong anthropogenic modifications, which can influence hydrological processes. Sewer systems, ditches, sewer overflow devices and retention basins are introduced and large surface areas are sealed off. The knowledge of accurate flow paths and watershed boundaries in these suburban areas is important for storm water management, hydrological modelling and hydrologic...

Model‐based analysis of the influence of catchment properties on hydrologic partitioning across five mountain headwater subcatchments
Ungauged headwater basins are an abundant part of the river network, but dominant influences on headwater hydrologic response remain difficult to predict. To address this gap, we investigated the ability of a physically based watershed model (the Distributed Hydrology-Soil-Vegetation Model) to represent controls on metrics of hydrologic partitioning across five adjacent headwater subcatchments....
متن کاملEstimation of Soil Erosion using Remote Sensing and GIS and Prioritization of Catchments
Soil erosion is one of the most critical environmental hazards of recent times. A large area suffers from soil erosion, which in turn, reduces productivity. Methods such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation or Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation are widely used for the estimation of soil erosion from catchment areas. The paper deals with the estimation of soil erosion using Universal Soil Loss ...

This paper presents an approach that integrates a legacy component into a software system for storm sewer simulation. The legacy component employed here is the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). The Extended Transport (EXTRAN) block of the SWMM that applies the finite difference method (FDM) with explicit numerical schemes, solving the de Saint-Venant equations, is used to route the storm sew...
