Hydrology options in MIDUSS 98
8
Design options in MIDUSS 98
  • Pipes - part-full uniform flow
  •     - surcharged HGL
  • Channels - simple trapezoidal
  • - complex (50 points)
  • Pond - detention, rooftop, parking lot, super-pipe
  • Exfiltration trench - split inflow between outflow       and exfiltration
  • Diversion - split major and minor flows
  • Route - modified Muskingum-Cunge method

(for commercial developments)

"Define catchment 100%"
  • Define catchment 100% impervious
  • For 450 sq.m./RD set L = 10 m @ 0.5%
  • Generate runoff hydrograph
  • Add to Inflow hydrograph
  • Design pond - use Rooftop option
  • Confirm/edit parameters  24 litres/min/25mm
  • Route hydrograph

 Applications of MIDUSS 98
  • Program functionality has been developed over many years of professional practice.
  • Has proved valuable in ‘fleshing out’ Master Drainage Plans to separate local and centralized SWM facilities
  • Most recent application in Belleville, Ontario to 400 ha catchment to assign cost sharing among two municipalities, 8 to 10 new developments and many existing developments.

Conclusions
  • Drainage design cannot easily separate simulation and design
24
Conclusions
  • Drainage design cannot easily separate simulation and design
  • Design process needs a highly interactive decision support system
25
Conclusions
  • Drainage design cannot easily separate simulation and design
  • Design process needs a highly interactive decision support system
  • Automatic mode allows sensitivity of design to storm magnitude to be tested incrementally.
