Abstract
The design of storm sewer systems because of its repetitive calculations lends itself to the use of computers for time-efficient solutions. The program developed designs storm sewer systems. Runoff is calculated using the Rational method. The rational method yields satisfactory results for relatively small areas and is widely used for stormwater calculations in urban areas.
Before, during or after the calculation process, the input data can be edited using a user-friendly editor incorporated into the program. Input data can be viewed by display on the screen or printed at any time while editing.
From the given input data, the program calculates overland travel time for each sub-basin, flow into each inlet, pipe size and slope and other pertinent information necessary for the design of the storm sewer system. Storm intensity is calculated using New Jersey time-frequency-intensity curves. The program's output consists of filling out a standard storm sewer calculation sheet.
