Applications

With over 5000 licenses, PCSWMM has been the leading decision support system for US EPA SWMM since PCSWMM's original release in 1984 (and before that as FastSWMM in 1977). Applied in tens of thousands of sewer and stormwater management studies throughout the world (over 70 countries), typical applications of PCSWMM include:

Green infrastructure design Evaluating the effectiveness of Low Impact Development (LID), Green Infrastructure (GI) and other BMPs for reducing wet weather pollutant loadings. Learn more...	2D modeling Integrated 1D-2D modeling for overbank flooding from rivers/stream in rural/urban areas and flooding in dual drainage systems. Learn more...
Integrated modeling Integrated catchment/watershed management modeling, including rural areas, river systems, urban sewer systems, treatment plants and receiving waters. Learn more...	Dynamic major/minor system analysis Dual-drainage (major/minor system) modeling and design, including dynamic interaction of dual systems. Learn more...
Remediation / mitigation Designing control strategies for minimizing combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). Learn more...	Water quality Generating non-point source pollutant loadings for waste load allocation studies. Learn more...
Drainage design Design and sizing of major and minor drainage system components for flood control. Learn more...	Sanitary system design Design and sizing of sanitary sewer systems with pumped force mains.
Detention storage Sizing of detention facilities and their appurtenances for flood control and water quality protection. Learn more...	Real-time control Evaluating global optimal and/or passive real-time control (GO RTC) operational strategies. Learn more...
Wet weather sanitary sewer analysis Evaluating the impact of rainfall-dependant inflow and infiltration (RDII) on sanitary sewer overflows and water-in-basements (WIBs). Learn more...	Flood mapping / risk analysis Flood plain mapping of natural channel systems. Learn more...
