The course starts with an introduction to EPA SWMM5 and PCSWMM, hydrology and hydraulics theory, model construction, discretization and parameterization (including GIS integration), model validation and model inference, with a focus on urban stormwater and/or sanitary modeling including flood management, storage facility design, system evaluation using design storms.

Later in the course, focus transitions to an introduction to Low Impact Development (LID), evaluation of in-stream erosion, introduction to integrated 1D-2D flood modeling, model calibration, watershed modeling (including importing HEC-RAS models), correcting run errors, and advanced time series analysis (including flow duration curve analysis and long-term rainfall disaggregation).

Video lectures on SWMM5 theory are interspersed with demonstrations and exercises using real-world examples and data sets, organized in a way that allows you to choose what you want to focus on.
