Stormwater Management Model (SWMM)

The Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) is a computer tool used to simulate and analyze urban runoff, including rainfall, drainage, and water flow through stormwater systems. It helps engineers and planners predict how excess rain will move over land and through pipes, identify potential flooding risks, and design effective drainage solutions. By modeling various factors like land use, rainfall patterns, and sewer infrastructure, SWMM supports the development of sustainable and resilient stormwater management practices to protect communities and the environment.
