Welcome to the HydroSWMM Tutorial. The HydroSWMM program is a powerful analysis and planning tool for storm water systems. The program operates in a special built-in CAD and GIS environment, called Albion, in which most of the data capturing, model editing and viewing/interpreting of results can be done.

 

This Tutorial a step-by-step guide to master the basic functions of HydroSWMM, as well as some Albion GIS functionality.  For more information and guidance on Albion, please refer to the specific Albion CAD and GIS Quick Start Guides and Tutorials.

 

If you are new to HydroSWMM it is recommended that you first complete the Quick Start Guide and then this more detailed Tutorial before using HydroSWMM. The Quick Start Guide and Tutorials rely on sample data files that are provided with the HydroSWMM installation.

 

With HydroSWMM, the stormwater components (i.e. pipes, pumps, dividers, weirs etc.) can be captured, edited, saved. The model can then be analysed, balanced,  and the results viewed. The more powerful hydraulic analysis options in HydroSWMM such as Dynamic wave and Kinematic Wave will also be explored in this tutorial.
