Software for Hydraulic Modelling of Stormwater Runoff in Planned Urban Areas

What’s the go-to software (2d-hydraulic modeling software) to use for simulating consequences from big rainfalls in planned urban areas?

Also, what kind of digital elevation model is needed (what format) to simulate the planned topography (does LandXML work)? Existing topography models are often GIS-raster data. Is this a must?

Kind regards,

Philip

  1. You can try Bentley SewerGEMS plus Bentley OpenFlows FLOOD. Bentley SewerGEMS support LandXML.

  2. Hi Philip,

    For drainage design we develop a software package called MicroDrainge (for UK) or XPDrainage (for International projects). If you are wanting to model larger catchments to simulate flooding, capacity issues etc, you might want to consider InfoWorks ICM. The 1D and 2D capability is integrated in one user friendly interface. I would be happy to speak with you or put you in the direction of more information.

    Please feel free to connect with me.

    Many thanks
