Training of SWMM LID control

2

• Based on the given input data file we will add LID (Low Impact De-velopment) options for subcatchments

3

• EPA’s SWMM 5.1 has been extended to model the hydrologic per-formance of specific types of low impact development (LID) controls.• LID controls that you can choose include 7 green infrastructure practices 1. Permeable pavement 2. Rain gardens 3. Green roofs 4. Street planters 5. Rain barrels 6. Infiltration trenches 7. Vegetative swales (not optional in WMAM)• You will edit 6 types of LID structures by using the LID control option of EPA SWMM5.1 • Follow the instructions (step 1 to step 7) to enter all values • The following tables are information of the LID control you will edit

10

• Select LID Controls from the project browser (under Hydrology)

Step 1

11

• Left click the add button or select Project -> Add a new LID Control from the main menu

Step 2

12

• Enter the Control Name for the LID structure

Step 3

13

• Choose the type of the LID structure

Step 4

14

• Enter the parameter values of the surface layer

Step 5

15

• To enter the parameter values of the Soil, Storage, and Under-drain layer click the tab of the layer

Step 6

16

• Follow step 1~6 and use the information in table 1~6 to edit the LID control• After you have entered all the values, you can find your designed LID controls

• Now you will plan the subcatchment area with the designed LID struc-tures• Step 7 to step 11 shows how to edit the LID Usage Editor• Follow the instructions from (step 7 ~ 11) and use the following infor-mation to complete the editing process

19

• Open the editing window (properties) of one of the subcatchments

Step 7

20

• Left click on the box in LID controls

Step 8

21

• Left click Add to open the LID usage editor

Step 9

22

• Select the LID control name• Enter the planning parameter values for the selected LID structure

Step 10

23

• If you check the LID Occupies Full Subcatchment, the LID struc-ture will automatically calculate the Area of each unit as it is de-signed
