computer files)
Where:
City of Aurora Municipal Building,
15151 E. Alameda Parkway, Aurora.
Cost:
$595.00 (includes class notes and software)
CEU’s:
You will be eligible to receive 1.6 CEU’s or 16 PDH’s for this course
You will also earn 12 CEC hours to meet ASFPM requirements for CFM.
Overview
If you have a working knowledge of EPA SWMM 5.0 model and would like to further
your knowledge how to use this outstanding free software for planning and design
of stormwater and flood control projects, this class is for you.
What Will
You Learn?
You will get an overview of the Kinematic Wave (KW) methods for
storm water modeling and of input parameters for the KW method in SWMM 5.0.
Important aspects of using this model for generating representative runoff
guidance will be provided in how to convert irregular watersheds into
rectangular sloping planes and how to use cascading to approximate unconnected
imperviousness and other featureless in a watershed.
The modeling of various urban conveyance/storage/diversion/pumps systems will be
explained in detail. In addition, the class will review dynamic wave (DW)
and numerical stability criteria for DW applications, something all users
of SWMM need to understand to recognize its functionality. Other items
covers will include detention modeling, event-based modeling using design
storms, continuous long-term simulation and flow frequency analysis, water
volume budget and monthly statistical analyses for long-term retention basin
operations, use of wetlands and impacts of drought seasons on them, long-term
overflow risk and runoff volume capture for water quality basin operation,
accuracy and consistency in storm water modeling, and much more. Much of
this will be done by working on problems in a workshop.
Prerequisites
Working knowledge of SWMM 5.0 at a basic level.
Instructors:
Lead Instructor:
Prof. James C.Y Guo, PE, PhD
University of Colorado at Denver; Department of Civil Engineering
Assistant Instructor:
Ben Urbonas, PE, D.WRE
Both have extensive experience in using earlier and current version of EPA SWMM
and CUHP models in planning, system analysis and design projects.
Computers – You are strongly urged to bring your own. Some will be provided.
The ski season in Colorado typically starts in November and if you are a
skier/snowboarder or would like to learn either of these, this is the time to be
in Colorado. Mother Nature can be fickle and we cannot guarantee that you
will find the best ski conditions when you are here, but with the help of
snowmaking equipment, most areas will be open. Ski areas, resorts areas and
mountain communities offer good deals in early through mid-December. There
are many activities this time of year such as downhill and cross-country skiing,
touring, wonderful scenery, hot springs, etc. The City of Denver and its
metropolitan area also has many attractions and great restaurants as well.
So, if you come and attend this class, you may want to extend your stay and take
advantage of one of the most attractive areas in the country for little bit of R
and R.
