StormNET® is the most advanced, powerful, and comprehensive stormwater and wastewater modeling package available for analyzing and designing urban drainage systems, stormwater sewers, and sanitary sewers. StormNET is the only model that combines complex hydrology, hydraulics, and water quality in a completely graphical, easy-to-use interface.

StormNET provides the user unparalleled modeling support for SWMM. StormNET is based upon an enhanced version of the latest USEPA SWMM (and FEMA approved) stormwater and wastewater model.

StormNET is a fully-dynamic hydrology and hydraulic model that can analyze both simple and complex stormwater systems. StormNET can be used for:

• Stormwater sewer networks and interconnected detention ponds
• Subdivision drainage design
• Automatic sizing and designing of detention ponds
• Stormwater master planning
• Watershed master planning
• Bridge and culvert modeling, including roadway overtopping
• Water quality studies

StormNET can simultaneously simulate dual drainage networks (stormwater sewer network and city streets as separate but connected conveyance pathways) and inlet capacity. It will quickly determine the amount of stormwater flow that is intercepted by the stormwater network inlets and the amount of stormwater flow that bypasses and is then routed further downstream to other inlets. Hydraulic network modeling is performed by the full set of Saint Venant equations or by the Kinematic Wave method. StormNET can account for:

• Storm sewers and sanitary sewers
• Open channels
• Streams
• Bridge and culverts
• Curb and gutter inlets
• Detention ponds and outlet structures
• Flooding overflows
• And more…
