Day 1: Introduction to EPA SWMM5 and PCSWMM
SWMM5 hydrology and hydraulics and modelling procedures, building a new stormwater/sanitary model from scratch, hydrologic parameterization, storage facility design, dual drainage system design, GIS data integration, design storm analysis, continuous water quality analysis, results interpretation and introduction to climate change modelling.
Day 2: Intermediate use of EPA SWMM5 and PCSWMM and introduction to mine modelling
This workshop will provide an in-depth look at new green infrastructure (SuDs) modelling capabilities in PCSWMM and EPA SWMM5 including green roofs, bio-retention, permeable pavement, rain barrels, infiltration trenches, rain gardens, vegetative swales and rooftop disconnection. From there the user will gain insight in integrated 1D-2D model development and result interpretation using local mining examples. Other topics include sensitivity, calibration and error analysis, automatic watershed delineation and estimating erosion using MUSLE.
Day 3: Intermediate/advanced use of EPA SWMM5 and PCSWMM and intermediate/advanced mine modelling
This workshop will focus primarily on mine modeling including groundwater aquifer parameterization techniques, current mine flooding standards, legal requirements for stormwater mines in South Africa and setting up and interpreting a 1D stormwater management plan. In addition, attendees will be familiarized with methods of obtaining modelling data including online and offline sources and rainfall disaggregation. Other mine related topics include global warming/drought impacts, and setting up control rules to model water balance procedures.
