  1. Water Balance in MIKE-SWMM Melissa Figurski

  2. Blocks in SWMM • Runoff • Transport • Extended Transport (Extran)

  3. Runoff Block • Simulates quantity and quality of runoff • Rainfall • Snowmelt • Converts to runoff (Inlet hydrographs) and pollutant loads (pollutographs)

  4. Simulated Events • Can be run for minutes to years • Less than 2 weeks: • Single-event simulation • Greater than 2 weeks: • Continuous simulation (w/ no time limit) • Calculations are exactly same for both • Except for snow

  5. Subcatchment Representation • Up to 200 idealized subcatchments • Impervious with depressions • Impervious without depressions • Pervious with depressions • Each subcatchment drains to a channel/pipe or inlet • Single slope

  6. Data Input to Runoff Block • Precipitation • Up to 10 hyetographs for 10 gages • Surface Quantity • Surface Quality • Evaporation Rate • Land Use • For snowmelt – air temp and wind speed

  7. Time Step • WET • Globally wet • WETDRY • No precip, water still in surface storage • DRY • No precip or surface storage

  8. Runoff Loses • Evaporation • Evapotranspiration • Infiltration • Groundwater flow • Percolation • Surface Water Outflow

  9. Evaporation • Average Monthly Rate • Continuous simulation – value for all months • Evaporation Time Series • Daily, weekly, or monthly • ‘Loss off the Top’

  10. Evapotranspiration • Upper Zone Evapotranspiration • Fraction of total maximum evaporation rate • Lower Zone Evapotranspiration • Constant over time step

  11. Infiltration (1) • Horton’s Equation fp = fc + (fo – fc)e-kt • fp = infiltration capacity, ft/sec • fc = min or ultimate value of fp, ft/sec • fo = maximum or initial value of fp, ft/sec • t = time from beginning or storm, sec • k = decay coefficient, sec-1

  12. Infiltration (2) • Green-Ampt Equation • For F < Fs: f = i and F = SuIMD/(i/Ks – 1) for i >Ks • For F > Fs: f = fp and fp = Ks(1 + (SuIMD/F) • F = infiltration rate, ft/sec • i = rainfall intensity, ft/sec • F = cumulative infiltration volume, ft • Fs = cumulative infiltration volume for ponding, ft • Su = average capillary suction at wetting front, ft water • IMD = initial moisture deficit for this event, ft/ft • Ks = saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil,. ft/sec

  13. Groundwater Flow • Can be routed to a channel/pipe • Can be ‘lost’ from system • Both methods are accounted in continuity check

  14. Percolation • Uses Darcy’s Law for Unsaturated Flow

  15. Water Balance • Continuity Balance
