SWMM Simulation of the Stormwater Volume Control Performance of Rainwater Harvesting Systems

EPA’s stormwater management model (SWMM) has been widely used in the planning and design of stormwater management facilities. SWMM is capable of simulating the hydrologic performance of low-impact development (LID) practices. However, on account of the default parameter setting of the constant water use rate throughout the entire simulation period in the SWMM’s LID module for rain barrels (denoted as SWMM-LID), there is a limitation of using it …
