Modeling of Storm and Sanitary Collection Systems on November 27, 1985
at a total! cost of $250.00.

Background and Comments:

One of our functions In Engineering department is to set up ‘a
computer model for our storm Sewer drainage system. Such a model
would allow us to analyze the effect of various frequency and duration
storms on our existing drainage system and also to simulate changes in

the system.

The development of storm runotft models jis considerably more
difficult then water network analysis or sanitary sewer flows. There
are a number of different models which could be used each of which
have some advantages and disadvantages. This one day seminar, for
which an agenda is attached, Is designed to assist in the development
of these models. As [ft fs local, | would like te take the opportunity
of sending both the Assistant Engineer who is responsible for design
and the Project Engineer who actually dees the modeling.
