                                   FOREWORD
The Environmental Protection Agency was created because of increasing public
and government concern about the dangers of pollution to the health and welfare
of the American people.  Noxious air, foul  water, and spoiled land are tragic
testimony to the deterioration of our natural  environment.  The complexity of
that environment and the interplay between  its components require a concen-
trated and integrated attack on the problem.

Research and development is that necessary  first step in problem solution and
it involves defining the problem, measuring its impact, and searching for
solutions.  The Municipal Environmental Research Laboratory develops new and
improved technology and systems for the prevention, treatment, and management
of wastewater and solid and hazardous waste pollutant discharges from municipal
and community sources, for the preservation and treatment of public drinking
water supplies, and to minimize the adverse economic, social, health, and
aesthetic effects of pollution.  This publication is one of the products of
that research; a most vital communications  link between the researcher and
the user community.

The objective of the study described herein was the evaluation of compre-
hensive mathematical models for the nonsteady simulation of urban storm and
combined wastewater flow and quality.  It is hoped that the application of
appropriate models will aid in the cost-effective design and improvement of
urban wastewater collection and treatment systems.

                          ABSTRACT
Mathematical models for the nonsteady simulation of urban run-
off were evaluated to determine their suitability for the engi-
neering assessment, planning, design and control of storm and
combined sewerage systems.  The models were evaluated on the
basis of information published by the model builders and model
users.  Seven models were also tested by computer runs using
both hypothetical and real catchment data.   Most of the models
evaluated include the nonsteady simulation of the rainfall-
runoff process and flow routing in sewers;  a few include also
the simulation of wastewater quality, options for dimensioning
sewerage system components, and features for real-time control
of overflows during rainstorms.

This report was submitted in fulfillment of Contract
No. 68-03-0251 by the Water and Land Resources Department,
Battelle-Pacific Northwest Laboratories, under sponsorship of
the Office of Research and Development, U.  S. Environmental
Protection Agency.  Work was completed in August 1975.

SUMMARY

The reviewed mathematical models are suitable for the simu-
lation of storm and combined sewerage systems or for incor-
poration in comprehensive simulation models.  Considerable
differences exist from model to model, however, in the types
of phenomena considered and in the mathematical formulations
for each phenomenon.  The model reviews summarize the objec-
tives, advantages, and limitations of each model.

For some applications, models are available with considerable
simplifications in their mathematical detail to reduce input
data requirements, computer storage requirements, and computer
running time.  Some models include unnecessary approximations
considering the present state-of-the-art of hydrologic model-
ing and computer capability.  Some of the simplifications,
however, are needed for applications to real-time control of
overflows which require repeated simulations within fixed
time constraints on a small process computer with slow execu-
tion times.

The following eleven models were evaluated on the basis of
published information and personal communication with the
model builders and model users:

     7.  University of Nebraska Urban Hydrologic Simulator

The tables presented in the following pages provide a quick
overview of the features of each model.  Table 1 lists major
model features and indicates whether a certain phenomenon is
being modeled or considered by a model.  The table conse-
quently indicates the comprehensiveness of each model.  Tables
2 through 5 expand on Table 1 by listing additional categories,
brief statements indicating the mathematical formulations for
particular phenomena, model limitations, and other details
which would be helpful in assessing the applicability of a
model for a particular purpose.

-------
Drafts of these tables were submitted to the model developers
and their comments were incorporated in the final versions.
Not all tables were returned, however, leaving some uncer-
tainties with respect to model formulations of a few models.
These are indicated in the tables.

Tables 1 to 5 can be used to select the most useful model for
a particular application based on features needed for simu-
lating specific storm and combined sewerage system conditions.
Usually the simplest model which simulates the desired phe-
nomena with adequately accurate mathematical formulations
should be selected.  Input data requirements and computer
running times generally decrease with decreasing complexity
of the model.  Some models include options to suppress por-
tions of the simulation if only selected phenomena are of
interest.  Although this feature is not listed in the tables,
it should be considered in the model selection.

Model testing with hypothetical data showed that computer run-
ning time is governed more by efficient formulations of the
overall model logic than by the basic equations used for speci-
fic phenomena.  For instance, no consistent pattern in computer
running time was evident between the use of the kinematic and
dynamic wave equation.  Consequently, since the dynamic wave
equation can be solved to simulate downstream flow control, back-
water, flow reversal, surcharging, and pressure flow (none of
which can be simulated by the kinematic wave equation)  the appli-
cation of models using the dynamic wave equation is recommended,
provided the selected model includes an efficient numerical
algorithm for its solution.  Some models require only the
input of typical subcatchment elements and perform hydrologic
computations only for these typical subcatchments,  but then
consider the actual locations of all subcatchments for the
overland and sewer flow routing computations.   This can save
considerable input preparation and computer running time.

Various models stand out due to their completeness of hydro-
logic and hydraulic formulations, the ease of input data
preparation, the efficiency of computational algorithms, and
the adequacy of the program output.  Other models, although
deficient in some of these respects, merit consideration due
to special features which are not included in the more compre-
hensive models but may be required for specific applications.

The following models are consequently recommended for routine
applications:

         time control and/or design optimization considering

The remaining reviewed models do not appear to provide suffi-
cient special features which are not included in the models
mentioned above.  Their use may be advantageous, nevertheless,
for certain applications where model assumptions are adequate,
and especially where assistance from the model developers is
easily available.

Following are brief descriptions of each model to give a quick
overview of the available models.  Detailed reviews and numer-
ical test results are presented in Sections V and VII through
IX.

BATTELLE URBAN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL

The Battelle Urban Wastewater Management Model is intended
primarily for the simulation of large urban catchments.  It
simulates the time-varying runoff and water quality in com-
bined sewerage systems consisting of several catchments and
a converging branch sewer network.  Up to seven conservative
water quality constituents can be modeled.  The model can be
used for a real-time control of overflows during rainstorms
and for least-cost design of sewerage system modifications.
The model is limited to the simulation of single runoff events.

For real-time control of overflows during rainstorms, diver-
sions at controllable regulators are computed using dynamic
programming to maximize the utilization of available sewer,
storage and treatment capacities and minimize pollutant over-
flows.  For design studies, sizes of sewers, overflow storage
facilities, treatment plants, and overflow treatment facilities
are computed which will minimize costs for specified constraints
on the quality of overflows and treatment plant effluents.

The model includes special provisions which considerably re-
duce the input data requirements and computer running time.
Data need to be defined only for typical urban subcatchment
elements, rather than all elements, and the appropriate hydro-
logic computations are performed only for these typical ele-
ments.  The flow routing, however, considers the actual loca-
tion of the elements.

The model can be used in different modes, using various com-
binations of flow simulation, water quality simulation,
                               24

-------
real-time overflow control, and least-cost design optimization.
Program improvements are necessary for the efficient implemen-
tation of the real-time control optimization.

The model has been verified on very limited data.  The numer-
ical testing indicated that the model is satisfactory for
conditions of slowly varying runoff (where time steps of not
less than 5-minutes are adequate), and where downstream flow
control, backwater, flow reversal, surcharging, and pressure
flow are insignificant.

Comprehensive error diagnostics and the simulation of addi-
tional sewerage system components were programmed in versions
being used by Watermation, Inc., a consulting firm in St.
Paul, Minnesota.

BRITISH ROAD RESEARCH LABORATORY MODEL

The British Road Research Laboratory Model simulates the time-
varying runoff in combined sewerage systems consisting of
several catchments and a converging branch sewer and open
channel network.  The model computes surface runoff only from
impervious areas and neglects the contribution of pervious
areas.  The model is limited to the simulation of single
runoff events.  Water quality, real-time control and design
features are not included.

The model has been tested extensively with urban hydrologic
data.  The model appears to produce satisfactory results for
drainage areas of less than 13 km2 (5 mi2) if the impervious
areas directly connected to the storm drainage system comprise
more than 15 percent of the drainage area, and if the fre-
quency of the storm is less than 20 years.  The model requires
a minimum of input data, is easy to use, and provides a fairly
accurate means of computing runoff from the paved areas of
urban catchments.  Downstream flow control, backwater, flow
reversal, surcharging, pressure flow, and diversion structures
are not modeled.

The Illinois State Water Survey developed a new model based on
the British Road Research method which considers also the run-
off contribution from pervious areas and includes a design
option to size retention basins or circular sewers (Illinois
State Water Survey Urban Drainage Area Simulator).

CHICAGO FLOW SIMULATION PROGRAM

The Chicago Flow Simulation Program is intended primarily for
the continuous simulation of large catchments consisting of
both sewered and nonsewered areas.  It simulates the time-
varying runoff in combined sewerage systems and nonurban
                             25

-------
drainage basins consisting of several catchments and a con-
verging sewer and natural channel network.  The flow routing
formulation for natural channels includes provisions for flow
and storage in floodplains.  The model can be used for con-
tinuous simulation using hourly or smaller time steps.  Water
quality, real-time control, and design features are not
included.

The model is very easy to use, but limited in its applica-
bility by the assumptions inherent in the precipitation-runoff
computations which neglect catchment shape, slope and surface
roughness for sewered areas and impervious areas of nonsewered
areas  and assume a constant, surface roughness for all pervious
areas of nonsewered areas.  Runoff and routing constants are
internal to the program and may have to be changed for applica-
tion of the model in different areas.  Downstream flow control,
backwater, flow reversal, surcharging, pressure flow, and
diversions are not modeled.  Model testing on mostly nonurban
areas ranging in size from 12 to 264 km^  (4.7 to 102 mi^)
produced generally satisfactory results.

CHICAGO HYDROGRAPH METHOD

The Chicago Hydrograph Method simulates the time-varying run-
off in combined sewerage systems consisting of several catch-
ments and a converging sewer and open channel network.  The
model computes diameters of circular pipes for peak flows.
Although it includes formulations for continuous catchment
moisture accounting, it can be used only for the simulation
of single runoff events due to computer program limitations.
Water quality and real-time control are not included.

The model includes considerable simplifications in the routing
of overland, gutter, sewer, and channel flow which would
appear to limit its accuracy and are not necessary considering
present state-of-the-art of flow routing techniques.  Down-
stream flow control, backwater, flow reversal, surcharging,
pressure flow, and diversions are not modeled.  The model is
useful primarily for the design of circular sewer pipes.  No
model testing using measured urban runoff data is reported by
the model developers.

Separate versions have recently been completed for the con-
tinuous simulation of both wastewater flow and quality using
one-hour time steps  (Chicago Runoff and Pollution Model).

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY URBAN RUNOFF MODELING

The Colorado State University urban runoff modeling efforts
are included in this review because special research activities
are expected to provide  new and improved  techniques for  the
                             26

control of overflows and the simulation of nonsteady flow in
pipes.  Two parallel efforts are being conducted.  One effort
is concerned with the development of concepts for the real-
time control of overflows and the other with physical and
numerical modeling of nonsteady flow in circular pipes.

No computer programs have been developed under the real-time
control research effort which can be used directly for real-
time applications.  Valuable concepts evolved under this pro-
gram, however, related to the future direction of urban waste-
water management and the development of automated real-time
wastewater control systems.

Various explicit finite difference solutions of the dynamic
wave equations for gradually varied nonsteady open channel
flow were investigated.  The programs are not set up for pipe
networks and diversion structures but merit consideration
for incorporation into comprehensive urban runoff simulation
models.

CORPS OF ENGINEERS STORM MODEL

The Storage, Treatment and Overflow Model (STORM) of the Corps
of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center is intended pri-
marily for the evaluation of stormwater storage and treatment
capacity required to reduce untreated overflows below speci-
fied values.  The model can simulate hourly stormwater runoff
and quality for a single catchment for several years.  Five
water quality constituents are computed for different land
uses:  suspended and settleable solids, biochemical oxygen
demand, nitrogen, and phosphorus.

The model does not route the stormwater runoff and quality in
a sewer or channel network.  Computations of treatment,
storage and overflow proceed on an hourly basis by simple run-
off volume and pollutant mass balance for the entire catchment.
If the hourly runoff exceeds the treatment capacity, the excess
runoff becomes untreated overflow.  If the runoff is less than
the treatment capacity and water is in storage, then the
excess treatment capacity is utilized to diminish the storage
volume.

The model appears useful primarily for preliminary planning
studies to estimate approximate magnitudes of untreated
stormwater overflows for various combinations of storage and
treatment capacities.  The model does not consider costs,
however, and repeated runs with different capacities are
required to determine an optimal combination meeting con-
straints on overflows.  The model is limited in its application
to stormwater drainage systems since it does not consider
dry-weather flow and quality.

DORSCH CONSULT HYDROGRAPH-VOLUME METHOD

The Dorsch Consult Hydrograph-Volume Method simulates the
time-varying runoff in combined sewerage systems consisting
of several catchments and a sewer and open channel network,
including loops and converging and diverging branches.  The
flow routing is based on the dynamic wave equations and simu-
lates backwater, surcharging and pressure flow but not flow
reversal.  The model also simulates retention basins and
diversion structures. The model is limited to the simulation
of single runoff events.  Water quality, real-time control
and design features are not included.  A separate model for
continuous simulation of wastewater flow and quality has just
been completed  (Quantity-Quality Simulation Program).

This is one of the most complete models for the computation
of runoff from urban catchments and the routing of flows in
sewer networks.  The implicit solution of the dynamic wave
equations provides an accurate means of computing flow routing
considering both upstream and downstream boundary conditions
and special hydraulic structures.

This is a proprietary model of Dorsch Consult of Munich,
Germany, which maintains a North American office in Toronto,
Canada.  The model has been applied extensively, and model
testing has shown good agreement between measured and com-
puted runoff.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL

The Stormwater Management Model of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency is one of the most comprehensive mathe-
matical models for the simulation of storm and combined
sewerage systems.  It computes the combined storm and sani-
tary runoff from several catchments and routes the flows
through a converging branch sewer network.  It can model two
types of flow diversion structures, three storage basins,
and one overflow treatment plant.

Suspended and settleable solids, biochemical and
carbonaceous oxygen demand, coliform bacteria, nitrogen,
phosphorus, and oil and grease are modeled, and the perfor-
mance and cost of nine unit treatment processes can be com-
puted.  A receiving water segment of the model computes the
flows and water quality impact of sewerage system effluents
in receiving waters.  The model does not include real-time
control.  The model is limited to the simulation of single
runoff events.  The model includes an option to size sewers
to eliminate surcharging, but cannot adequately simulate
downstream flow control, backwater, surcharging, pressure
flow and flow reversal.
                             28

-------
Segments of the model have been tested on different sets of
data since adequate data of rainfall, runoff and water quality
were not available for a single catchment to test the com-
plete model.  Testing of the runoff flow computations on
catchments ranging in size from 5 to 220.0 ha (13 to 5400 acres)
showed good agreement with measured values.   The accuracy of
the water quality computations, particularly the formulations
relating water quality with land use, has not been suffi-
ciently established to be used with confidence for prediction
purposes.

The computer program is very complex and requires a major
effort for its implementation.  The input data are arranged
in logical groups, but improvements in the user's manual and
documentation of the model's theoretical bases is needed to
understand the meaning and use of some data.  Program improve-
ments, addition of new model features, and a new user's manual
are in progress at the University of Florida.  Special work-
shops are being held periodically to instruct potential users
in model use, and assistance is available from the Environ-
mental Protection Agency and private consulting firms for
model implementation.

HYDROCOMP SIMULATION PROGRAM

The Hydrocomp Simulation Program is an improved version of
the Stanford Watershed Model which was the first comprehensive
mathematical model of catchment hydrology.  Recently, a sepa-
rate program was developed for the simulation of water quality
in river basins and interfaced with the hydrologic program.
The program is formulated for the continuous simulation of both
water flow and quality from several catchments and the routing
in a converging branch sewer and open channel network.  Al-
though originally developed for nonurban areas, modifications
give the program the capability to simulate both sewered and
nonsewered areas.  The water quality model simulates 17 water
quality constituents, including their reactions and inter-
actions in natural water bodies.  The model does not include
wastewater treatment, real-time control, design, and cost
computations.

The addition of special sewerage system phenomena and elements
is needed to provide the capability to simulate comprehensive
networks.  The hydrology formulation may be more complicated
than needed for normal application to urban catchments con-
sidering the lack of available data for calibration purposes.

A major advantage of the model is the capability for con-
tinuous simulation of both water flow and quality in complex
networks since it considers both catchment moisture and water
                             29

-------
quality accounting between runoff events and allows time
intervals from a few minutes to bi-monthly.  The hydrologic
model has been tested and applied extensively in the United
States and abroad in both nonurban and urban catchments.
Testing of the water quality model is in progress.

This is a proprietary model of Hydrocomp International, Inc.
of Palo Alto, California.  User's manuals are available, and
user's workshops are held periodically.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY URBAN WATERSHED MODEL

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology  (MIT)  Urban Water-
shed Model simulates the time-varying runoff of several catch-
ments and a sewer and open channel network including loops
and converging and diverging branches.  The model is limited
to the simulation of single runoff events.  Water quality
and real-time control features are not included.

A separate model computes the sizes and costs of sewers,
storage and treatment facilities which will result in the
least-cost combination of alternatives for the elimination of
untreated overflows and the reduction of flooding and sur-
charging.  A method based on filter theory can be used to
compute the infiltration coefficients from measured rainfall
and runoff.  The original models were developed at MIT under
various projects for the U.S. Office of Water Resources
Research but the models have been modified by Resource Analy-
sis, Inc., for routine applications.  The user has to contract
with Resource Analysis, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, for
routine application of the complete and revised program pack-
age.

The model includes special provisions which considerably re-
duce the input data requirements and computer running time.
Data need to be defined only for typical urban subcatchment
elements, rather than all elements, and the appropriate
hydrologic computations are performed only for these typical
elements.  The flow routing, however, considers the actual
location of the elements.

Testing on 9 ha  (23 acres) to 120 km   (46 mi ) catchments pro-
duced good agreements between measured and computed runoff
values.  The model is being used extensively for engineering
assessments.

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL URBAN RUNOFF MODEL

The Minneapolis-St. Paul  Urban  Runoff Model was developed
for real-time forecasting of flows in the major trunk and
                             30

-------
interceptor sewers of the Minneapolis-St. Paul combined
sewerage system.  Its purpose was to compute regulator set-
tings which would reduce untreated overflows to the Mississippi
River during rainstorms.  The model computes the runoff of
several large catchments, diverts the flows at controllable
regulating structures, and routes them through a converging
branch sewerage network to the treatment plant.  The model is
specifically designed for real-time control operation on a
small computer and cannot be used easily for the assessment of
existing or the design of new sewerage systems since it uses a
highly simplified flow routing procedure whose coefficients
have to be calibrated with measured data or derived from more
sophisticated models.

Although the model was designed for continuous simulation by
incorporating provisions for the accounting of catchment
moisture between rainstorms, the necessary formulations were
never added, and the program can be used only for the simu-
lation of single runoff events.  The model is no longer used
for real-time control, however, since the required trial
and error procedure with estimates of regulator settings is
too time-consuming, and operator experience with the system
appears to be more efficient for the control of the regulators.
The model does not include water quality, design and cost
computations.

SEATTLE COMPUTER AUGMENTED TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL SYSTEM

The Computer Augmented Treatment and Disposal System (CATAD)
of the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle  (Metro) is an
operating system for real-time control of untreated overflows
from the main trunk and interceptor sewer regulators of the
metropolitan Seattle, Washington, combined sewerage system.
The system does not include a comprehensive mathematical model
for the simulation of runoff from several catchments and the
routing of flows in a sewerage network.  Present system opera-
tion is based on computer control of regulators and pumping
stations using real-time data acquisition during rainstorms
and rule curve operation.  Water quality is monitored but not
utilized by the scheme.  Manual override is possible for
alarm conditions.

Evaluation of the control scheme has shown significant reduc-
tions in untreated overflows compared to uncontrolled con-
ditions.  The scheme's effectiveness is impaired, however,
since comprehensive optimization is not used to maximize
utilization of available sewer flow and storage capacity and
to consider the effect of the quality of the overflowed waste-
waters on the receiving water quality.

SOGREAH LOOPED SEWER MODEL

The Looped Sewer Model of the French consulting firm Societe
Grenobloise d'Etudes et d'Application Hydrauliques (SOGREAH)
simulates the time-varying runoff of combined sewerage systems
consisting of several catchments and a sewer and open channel
network including loops and converging and diverging branches.
The model includes formulations for most hydraulic phenomena
encountered in closed conduit and open channel networks.  The
flow routing solves the dynamic wave equations coupled with
equations for special sewer system facilities, such as diver-
sion structures, pumping stations, inverted siphons,  and re-
tention basins.   The solution considers both upstream and
downstream boundary conditions, backwater, flow reversal,
surcharging, and pressure flow.  The model has been expanded
recently to include the advective transport of pollutants.
The model does not include real-time control, design and cost
computations.

The model routing scheme is based on a river basin model devel-
oped by SOGREAH earlier.  The firm did not report verification
of the sewer model with urban hydrologic data since the river
basin model verification apparently produced satisfactory
results.  This is a proprietary model of SOGREAH of Grenoble,
France.  An office is maintained in New York City.  The firm
is also represented by Lasalle Hydraulic Laboratory in Canada.

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI URBAN RUNOFF MODEL

The University of Cincinnati Urban Runoff Model simulates the
time-varying runoff of storm sewerage systems consisting of
several catchments and a converging branch sewer and open
channel network.  The model does not include provisions for
dry-weather flow, water quality, real-time control, and design.
It is limited to the simulation of single runoff events.

The model includes several simplifications which appear to
reduce the model's accuracy and applicability.  These include
the assumption of areal uniformity of rainfall, the neglect
of dry-weather or base flows, the computation of infiltration
from rainfall rather than overland flow depth, the neglect of
catchment moisture conditions in the infiltration computations,
the steady-state formulation for gutter flow routing, and the
neglect of dynamic effects in the sewer flow routing.

Although some encouraging results are reported by the model
developers on a 5.2 ha  (12.9 acre) and 964 ha  (2380 acre)
catchment, the tests were restricted to fairly simple rainfall
events and required considerable calibration of the infiltration
rate coefficients.  Testing by others on a 70 ha  (173 acre)
                              32

-------
and 500 ha  (1240 acre) catchment in Australia using more com-
plex storm patterns showed considerable differences between
measured and computed runoff values.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS STORM SEWER SYSTEM SIMULATION MODEL

The University of Illinois Storm Sewer System Simulation Model
computes nonsteady flows in a converging sewerage network
based on a solution of the dynamic wave equations.  The solu-
tion considers upstream and downstream flow controls, backwater,
and flow reversal in circular sewers and in-line storage at
sewer junctions.  The model does not compute dry-weather flows
from land use or runoff from precipitation but requires inflow
hydrographs to the sewers as input data.  Separate general
hydrologic catchment models have been developed, however, and
research for the development of an urban hydrologic model is
in progress for potential interfacing with the flow routing
model.  The routing model includes a feature for the sizing
of circular pipes to accommodate peak flows.  Costs are not
considered.  The model does not include water quality and
real-time control features.  A separate model exists for sewer
design using dynamic programming with cost and risk considera-
tions .

The model has not been verified with real sewerage network
data or applied to real systems.  Testing of the routing
scheme with experimental pipe data indicates, however, that
high accuracy can be expected.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS COMBINED SEWER CONTROL SIMULATION
MODEL

The University of Massachusetts Combined Sewer Control Simu-
lation Model simulates the time-varying runoff of several
catchments and a single string of circular sewers.  The model
computes runoff from impervious areas only using hourly rain-
fall data.  This restricts the model to the simulation of
runoff contributions from pervious areas.  A separate computer
program is available to compute synthetic hourly rainfall from
recorded rainfall using a Markov chain model.

The flow routing is accomplished with an implicit solution of
the dynamic wave equations which considers upstream and down-
stream flow control, backwater, and flow reversal.  Special
sewerage system facilities, such as diversion and flow control
structures and storage facilities, are not modeled.  The model
is formulated for the continuous simulation of runoff for
periods of up to one month, but neglects catchment moisture
balance between runoff events and snow accumulation and melt.
Water quality, real-time control, and design features are not
included.
                              33

-------
The model has not been tested with real catchment data.  Test-
ing with hypothetical data indicated that the combination of
hourly runoff computation from rainfall with the implicit flow
routing scheme may be a practical combination for the simu-
lation of large catchments and trunk and interceptor sewers
where short-duration peak discharges may be negligible.  Con-
siderable additions would be needed to the program to make it
generally applicable, such as the computation of runoff from
pervious areas, the consideration of a time lag between rain-
fall and runoff, the simulation of evapotranspiration and snow
accumulation and melt, and the expansion of the routing scheme
to sewer networks and special sewerage system facilities.

WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERS STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL

The Stormwater Management Model of Water Resources Engineers,
Inc. (WRE) is a modified version of the Stormwater Management
Model of the Environmental Protection Agency.  The model simu-
lates the time-varying combined storm and dry-weather runoff
and wastewater quality of several catchments and a sewer and
open channel network, including loops and converging and diverg
ing branches.  The flow routing is based on the dynamic wave
equations and considers both upstream and downstream flow
control, backwater, and flow reversal.  The solution is coupled
with hydraulic equations for flow control and diversion struc-
tures and pumping stations.  A special formulation computes
surcharging and pressure flow independently for each junction.

Both dry-weather and Stormwater quality are computed for 23
constituents:  suspended and settleable solids, biochemical
oxygen demand, nitrogen, phosphorus, oil and grease, and 17
arbitrary conservative constituents.  The pollutants are
routed through the sewerage system, but treatment processes
are not modeled.  The model does not include real-time control,
design, and cost computations.  It is limited to the simulation
of single runoff events.  A separate model for receiving
water flow and quality is available but it is not interfaced
with the WRE Stormwater Management Model.

The model includes special provisions which considerably re-
duce the input data requirements and computer running time.
Data need to be defined only for typical urban subcatchment
elements, rather than all elements, and the appropriate
hydrologic computations are performed only for these typical
elements.  The flow routing, however, considers the actual
location of the elements.

The model represents a very comprehensive formulation of
sewerage system flow phenomena coupled with water quality
computations.  The explicit solution of the dynamic wave
                              34

-------
equations requires very small time steps and is time-consuming
on the computer.  The model would be needed where the simula-
tion of most modeled hydraulic phenomena is important and
water quality routing is desired.  The computation of water
quality from land use characteristics has not been sufficiently
verified.

The model was released to the City of San Francisco and is now
in the public domain.  A European office is maintained by
Water Resources Engineers in Hamburg, Germany.

WILSEY AND HAM URBAN WATERSHED SYSTEM

The Wilsey and Ham Urban Watershed System computes the time-
varying stormwater runoff of several catchments and a con-
verging branch sewerage network.  A design option sizes circu-
lar pipes for peak flows.  The model does not include provi-
sions for dry-weather flow, water quality, and real-time
control.  A special feature routes catchbasin inflow exceeding
the free flow capacity of the sewer in the gutter to the next
downstream catchbasin.  Downstream flow control, backwater,
flow reversal, surcharging, and pressure flow are not modeled.
The model does not simulate flow control and diversion struc-
tures.  The model is limited to the simulation of single run-
off events.

The model includes special provisions which considerably re-
duce the input data requirements and computer running time.
Data need to be defined only for typical urban subcatchment
elements, rather than all elements, and the appropriate hydro-
logic computations are performed only for these typical ele-
ments.  The flow routing, however, considers the actual loca-
tion of the elements.

Although sufficient details are not available on the mathe-
matical formulations of the model, it appears to be an
efficient model for the evaluation and design of small storm
sewerage systems for which the limitations of the flow routing
scheme are acceptable.  The program has been applied exten-
sively but testing with real catchment data to evaluate model
accuracy has not been reported.

This is a proprietary model of Wilsey and Ham, Inc. of Foster
City, California.

INTRODUCTION

Various recommendations for urban hydrologic data collection
and mathematical model development can be formulated from the
model reviews and numerical testing.  The recommendations are
intended to guide future development, testing and application
of mathematical models for the engineering assessment, planning,
design and control of storm and combined sewerage systems.

HISTORICAL DATA COLLECTION

The scarcity of reliable urban hydrologic data considerably
limited the testing of model accuracy.  To provide a better
data base, the University of Florida is currently collecting
urban catchment characteristics, rainfall, runoff, and water
quality.  The data base will make it easier for developers and
the urban planning and engineering community to exercise and
verify existing or new urban hydrologic models.  The program
includes indentification of data sources, establishment of data
reliability and accuracy, data collection, arrangement of the
data in common formats, and development of a mechanism for up-
dating and disseminating the data.

FUTURE DATA MEASUREMENTS

The difficulties encountered in obtaining reliable comprehen-
sive data for the testing of the models reviewed in this study
indicate the need for future data collection programs to:

  •  establish a new data measurement program for selected
     urban catchments;

  •  include urban experimental catchments comprising all land
     uses of interest;

  •  locate these catchments in different climatic zones;

  •  select catchments where the runoff and water quality can
     be identified and measured separately for each major land
     use category;

  •  measure all physical characteristics of a catchment which
     influence storm and combined sewer runoff and water
     quality;

  •  measure all data categories required by the most sophis-
     ticated mathematical model that may be needed for storm
     and combined sewerage system assessments;
                              37

-------
  •  measure time-varying data at sufficiently short intervals
     to identify significant variations in weather, rainfall,
     runoff, and water quality;

  •  measure not only storm runoff, but also dry-weather flow
     and snowmelt (including water quality); and

  •  establish a rigid quality control program to assure con-
     sistent data accuracy.

MODEL DEVELOPMENT

The wide variety of model formulations for similar purposes
indicates the need for future model development to:

  •  identify major use categories and establish model criteria
     for each use (i.e., engineering assessment, planning,
     design, and control);

  •  identify model criteria as a function of sewerage system
     size and spatial and temporal variability of phenomena to
     be modeled;

  •  develop a standard set of models for each major use cat-
     egory;

  •  develop a model for long-term (over many years) planning
     purposes;

  •  develop an efficient,  economical design model for simul-
     taneous sizing of sewers, open channels, retention basins,
     overflow regulators, and treatment plants;

  •  disseminate information about existing efficient steady-
     state models for street sewer design of small subsystems;

  •  develop an efficient real-time control model for reducing
     combined sewer overflows which will consider both the flow
     and quality of the overflows and run on a small process
     computer;

  •  develop a set of models which does not include water qual-
     ity to reduce model complexity for applications where
     water quality computations are not needed;

  •  develop criteria for mathematical formulations of each
     modeled phenomenon;

  •  develop model testing criteria to form a common basis for
     future model comparisons;
                              38

-------
  •  interface models with current sophisticated receiving
     water quality models which consider important interacting
     water quality constituents for river basins, estuaries,
     and deep stratified lakes and impoundments;

  •  interface urban hydrologic models that include water qual-
     ity simulations with sewage treatment plant models;

  •  establish more reliable correlations or functional rela-
     tionships between specific land uses and the quality of
     storm and sanitary runoff;

  •  investigate water quality changes in sewers and retention
     basins and formulate appropriate mathematical equations
     for significant physical/chemical/biological reactions and
     interactions;

  •  investigate the effect of numerical dispersion of the
     selected mass transport scheme and provide guidelines
     to relate the numerical dispersion to actual hydro-
     dynamic dispersion and molecular diffusion; and

  •  develop consistent guidelines for model documentation and
     testing to facilitate model comparisons by interested
     model users.

MODEL FORMULATIONS

Implementation of the following recommendations would make the
models more generally applicable and easier to evaluate objec-
tively.  It would also eliminate many simplistic approaches
which were developed prior to the common availability of com-
puters and are no longer justified in computer models.

Hydrologic Features

Model formulations should:

  •  include options to read in either cumulative rainfall or
     rain intensities at irregular time intervals to eliminate
     time-consuming hand conversions of commonly available
     data;

  •  provide the capability in models designed for large catch-
     ments to read in data from more than one weather station
     and to compute a weighted average for the catchment or
     any subcatchment;
                               39

-------
  •  include formulations for catchment moisture accounting
     during periods of no rainfall, considering depletion of
     soil moisture and depression storage;

  •  formulate infiltration as a function of actual soil mois-
     ture to make the model applicable to all rainfall condi-
     tions, not only to events for which the rainfall exceeds
     the potential infiltration capacity;

  •  compute infiltration from overland flow depth rather than
     rainfall intensity;

  •  consider the actual distance and time of overland flow
     rather than the catchment length (which may be different)
     to compute infiltration;

  •  compute rainfall losses and overland flow routing sepa-
     rately for pervious and impervious areas; and

  •  consider the locations of impermeable areas in relation
     to permeable areas in the computation of overland flow,
     if overland flow is not routed separately for each.

Hydraulic Features

Model formulations should:

  •  include formulations for backwater, flow reversal, down-
     stream flow control, surcharging, pressure flow, converg-
     ing and diverging branches, loops, and special sewer ele-
     ments such as regulators, pumping stations, retention
     basins, and tide gates in flow routing schemes for complex
     combined sewerage systems;

  •  replace linear storage routing by the kinematic wave equa-
     tion for conditions where backwater, flow reversal, down-
     stream hydraulic control, and surcharging are insignifi-
     cant; the approximations of linear storage routing schemes
     are not justified for computer models;

  •  print warning statements in models which do not simulate
     backwater, flow reversal, downstream hydraulic control,
     and surcharging if these conditions occur;

  •  formulate models which solve the dynamic wave equation to
     simulate converging, diverging and looped networks in any
     combination;
                              40

-------
  •  compare explicit and implicit solutions of the dynamic
     wave equations more thoroughly for large systems with re-
     spect to accuracy and efficienty of computation for flow
     routing where backwater, flow reversal, downstream hydrau-
     lic control, and surcharging need to be modeled;

  •  simulate the propagation of surcharging in the conduit
     network instead of computing it for each conduit indepen-
     dently;

  •  include formulations in comprehensive models for standard
     conduit and open channel cross sections and the option to
     specify any arbitrary cross section by appropriate input
     data;

  •  base the performance of standard diversion structures (in-
     cluding overflow regulators) on the appropriate hydraulic

Water Quality Features

Model formulations should:

  •  consider hourly, daily and seasonal variations in dry-
     weather flow and water quality formulations;

  •  consider seasonal variations in stormwater quality formu-
     lations;

  •  include formulations for catchment pollutant accounting
     during periods of no precipitation  (for continuous models
     with water quality simulation);

  •  simulate scour and sedimentation in conduits, open chan-
     nels, and storage basins in models simulating pollutant
     transport; and

Miscellaneous Features

Model formulations should:

  •  include input of initial conditions in continuous simula-
     tion models rather than assuming them to be zero or some
     other fixed values;

  •  incorporate a scheme defining typical catchment and sewer-
     age system elements to reduce duplication of input data
     and runoff simulation;

  •  provide the option to obtain output of water flow, depth,
     velocity, and water quality concentrations (if simulated)
     for any simulated sewerage system element;

  •  list dimension limitations for all arrays to indicate the
     number of sewer elements, time steps, etc., that can be
     simulated;

  •  provide test data deck and output listing for all model
     options;

  •  separate model documentation into theoretical description,
     model testing, user's manual, and programmer's manual to
     facilitate use of the model by individuals with different
     interests; the user's manual should be concise in order
     to instruct technicians in setting up data and interpreting
     output; it should only refer to the model's theoretical
     bases when necessary to clarify use instructions; and

  •  provide a mathematical expression, or its equivalent de-
     fining computer running time as a function of modeled
     sewerage system size and length of simulated time period.

                         SECTION III

                         INTRODUCTION
In the past, the most common methods for analyzing and design-
ing urban storm and combined sewerage systems have been based
on the rational formula for rainfall-runoff computations and
steady-state flow equations for sewer network flow analyses.
Recognizing the limitations of these methods for highly complex
systems under dynamic flow conditions, mathematical models have
been developed in recent years to provide better tools for the
analysis of existing and planned sewerage systems and system
improvements.

This study evaluates mathematical models which simulate dynamic
wastewater flow and quality conditions for engineering assess-
ment, control, planning and design of storm and combined sew-
erage systems.  The most promising models for practical appli-
cation were tested during the study using hypothetical and real
urban catchment data.  Evaluations were made on the bases of
accuracy, cost of use, computer requirements, data requirements,
input data preparation requirements and output options avail-
able to the user.  The purpose of the evaluations is to help
the practicing engineer decide which of the models will meet
his requirements.

Mathematical models of catchment hydrology are available which
handle all or any combination of the following phenomena:

  •  Catchment runoff

  •  Flow routing

  •  Water quality

  •  Costs

Some of the models, however, have been developed for nonurban
catchments and are not directly applicable to urban catchments
without major revisions to account for special urban hydrologic
                              43

-------
phenomena such as runoff from pervious and impervious areas,
flow routing in closed conduits, and wastewater quality.

Eighteen models were identified which were specifically devel-
oped or adapted for the dynamic simulation of urban catchments.
All but two of these models include the nonsteady simulation of
the rainfall-runoff process and most models include flow routing
in the sewers.  Several models include also the continuous sim-
ulation of wastewater quality.  Some models include options for
dimensioning sewer pipes and two of them use mathematical opti-
mization schemes for least-cost design of new sewerage system
components.  Three models have provisions for the real-time
control of overflows during rainstorms.

A brief review of these models indicates a tremendous diversity
in scope and purpose, mathematical detail, system elements and
hydrologic phenomena being modeled, size of the system that can
be handled, data input requirements, and computer output.  This
diversity, of course, is a result of the varying conditions and
objectives which govern the design and evaluation of individual
sewerage systems.

The state of development of these models also varies signifi-
cantly.  Some models have been developed and verified exten-
sively, others have been developed but not verified, while some
have been conceptualized but not carried to the point of appli-
cation.  In addition, because no standards exist for evaluating
and comparing models, differing criteria have been used in the
evaluations.  The rigor with which the models were tested varies
greatly, from intuitive judgments to graphical comparisons and
more demanding statistical analyses.

These considerations have hindered both the technology transfer
to interested municipalities and consulting engineers and the
routine use of these new methodologies.  In fact, due to a
lack of information on data input requirements, model limita-
tions, and program output options combined with often-overstated
claims of capabilities, use of this advanced methodology has
received some criticism.

The objective of this state-of-the-art survey is therefore to
provide the engineer and planner with a readily available ref-
erence containing brief but precise descriptions and evaluations
of all the models available, thus facilitating his selection
of the appropriate model for a particular application.

INTRODUCTION

This study was limited to a review of nonsteady simulation
models which can be used for the engineering assessment, plan-
ning, design, and control of storm and combined sewerage sys-
tems.  Engineering assessment involves the evaluation of system
performance under various hydrologic and wasteload conditions
to determine problem areas and needs for system improvement.
This may include the determination of undesirable surcharging,
backwater and flooding conditions, the volume and quality of
overflows during rainstorms, and the performance of storage
facilities and treatment plants.  For planning purposes, the
effects of both existing and potential hydrologic conditions
and land use decisions on existing and planned sewerage systems
and system components would be studied.

Design involves the computation of sizes of sewers, flow con-
trol and diversion structures and storage and treatment facili-
ties which will meet specified performance criteria.  Further
considerations of sewerage system design may include elimination
of undesirable flooding, reduction of untreated overflows, and
better use of existing and planned facilities.

Control involves the regulation of flows to reduce overflows
and improve system efficiency.  It may include the regulation
of controllable diversion structures and the operation of stor-
age reservoirs and treatment plants during rainstorms to maxi-
mize system capacity and minimize untreated discharges to re-
ceiving waters.  The need for potential system improvements and
implementation of real-time control schemes for manual or fully
automatic control of wastewater flows, storage and treatment
may also be considered in this phase.

CRITERIA FOR MODEL SELECTION

To serve the purposes described above, mathematical models must
consider the spatial nonuniformity of rainfall; the time-varying
runoff resulting from rainstorms of different intensities and
durations; spatial and temporal variations in dry-weather flows;
the effect on hydrograph shapes of different flow travel times
from various catchments; the attenuation of flood peaks during
overland, gutter, and sewer conduit flow routing; and the
operation of flow diversion structures and storage facilities
under dynamic wasteload conditions.  The models should be able
to combine the runoff from several catchments and route the
wastewaters within the sewer networks.

Most of the eighteen selected models meet these requirements.
The few exceptions included in the study are models with spe-
cial provisions or advantages for the evaluation of important
                              46

-------
aspects of urban catchments and sewerage systems, or with fea-
tures which could improve existing models or provide new model-
ing capability.

All eighteen models were evaluated on the basis of published
information and communication with model developers.  In addi-
tion, seven of the more comprehensive models were selected for
testing by computer runs using hypothetical and real catchment
data.

In selecting these models, a minimum requirement was the capa-
bility to consider several raingages, to compute runoff from
several catchments, and to route flows in a converging branch
sewer network.  Models which rely heavily on mathematical form-
ulations which cannot be derived readily from catchment and
sewer physical characteristics were not tested, nor were models
whose oversimplification restricts their use unnecessarily,
considering present computer capabilities and the state-of-the-
art of hydrologic modeling.  Among the proprietary models se-
lected, one firm did not respond to the request to participate
in the numerical testing.

INTRODUCTION

Descriptions and reviews of principal model features are pre-
sented in this section to guide the potential model user in
model selection.  The general applicability of each model is
summarized, the principal physical phenomena modeled are listed,
the mathematical methods and computer programs are described,
past model testing and applications are referenced, and brief
evaluations are presented.  Model equations are not included
in this section to facilitate quick scanning of all model
descriptions.  Equations for the seven models tested with com-
puter runs are included in Appendix C.

It is impossible to describe all the features of each model in
a state-of-the-art review and to discuss every model advantage
and limitation based solely on information provided by the model
builders and selected numerical tests.  This would be possible
perhaps for evaluations of mathematical models of individual
phenomena, but it becomes a tremendous task when the interactions
of all the submodels of the comprehensive models in this study
must be considered.  Only extensive use and experimentation
with a particular model will reveal all its advantages and short-
comings.  It is hoped, however, that this review will provide
sufficient information to the potential user to aid him in
selecting the appropriate model for his needs.  Once the user
has decided that a particular model may be of interest, careful
study of the documents referenced for the model is recommended
before its computer implementation is begun.  This would reveal
model details which, although important, cannot be described
sufficiently in this review.

The model comparisons emphasize evaluation of the complete model,
rather than detailed critiques of submodels of individual phe-
nomena.  Formulations of individual phenomena are discussed only
in the context of their use in the complete model and no attempt
is made to discuss all available models for each phenomenon.  As
an example, a tremendous variety of models exist for simulating
the rainfall-runoff process alone.  No attempt was made to
describe all of them.  Rather, only those used in the compre-
hensive urban hydrologic models were reviewed.  This type of
evaluation provides the engineer with the information he needs
to select a comprehensive model but does not require him to be
familiar with the many available variations for modeling each
urban hydrologic phenomenon.

BATTELLE URBAN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL

Summary

The Battelle Urban Wastewater Management Model (Brandstetter
et al., 1973) is intended primarily for the simulation of major
                              53

-------
sewer system components, such as trunk and interceptor sewers,
regulators, overflow storage facilities, and treatment plants.
It provides a means of evaluating the time-varying performance
of a planned or existing sewerage system under a variety of
rainfall conditions, considering both the time and spacial vari-
tions of rainfall rates without requiring the simulation of every
small sewer, manhole, etc. in the system.  Stormwater and sani-
tary runoff and quality of major catchment areas are computed
using hydrologic lumping techniques to arrive at hydrographs
and quality graphs at major regulators and at junctions of major
trunks and interceptors.  The runoff is then routed through trunk
and interceptor sewers to the treatment plant.  The model is
limited to the simulation of single runoff events.

The model can simulate up to seven conservative wastewater qual-
ity parameters.  Quality reactions, with the exception of changes
at treatment facilities, are not modeled.  The model determines
the required diversion at control regulators during real-time
rainstorm events in order to minimize wastewater discharges to
receiving waters.  The model can also be used for design and
planning studies.  It computes sizes and costs of structural
sewer system modifications such as sewers, storage and treatment
facilities which will result in the least-cost combination of
alternatives for improving system performance.

The model has been improved and programmed for an IBM 360 com-
puter by Watermation, Inc., a consulting firm in Saint Paul,
Minnesota.  Improvements include formulations for additional
sewerage system elements, such as pumping stations, and the
addition of new error diagnostics.  The firm is using the model
for engineering assessments and design purposes.

The Battelle Urban Wastewater Management Model includes the
following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow and quality of several catchments;

     2.  several rainfall records;

     3.  stormwater runoff and quality from pervious and
         impervious areas of several catchments;

     4.  routing of combined wastewater flow and quality
         in a converging branch network;

     5.  circular closed conduits;

     6.  surcharging and pressure flow;

     7.  diversion of wastewater flow and quality at
         overflow regulators;
                              54

-------
     8.  filling of overflow storage facilities;

     9.  wastewater quality improvement at treatment plants
         and overflow treatment facilities;

    10.  regulator diversions for optimal utilization of
         sewerage system capacities to minimize untreated
         overflows; and

    11.  least-cost sizes of sewers, overflow storage and
         treatment facilities, and main treatment plants
         which meet constraints on effluent quality.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow and quality and stormwater quality
         from land use characteristics;

     2.  evapotranspiration;

     3.  snow accumulation and melt;

     4.  catchment moisture and water quality balance
         during periods of no precipitation;

     5.  flow and quality routing in gutters;

     6.  flow and quality routing in loops and diverging
         branches;

     7.  noncircular closed conduits and open channels;

     8.  downstream flow control, backwater, and flow reversal;

     9.  emptying of overflow storage facilities;

    10.  inline storage facilities;

    11.  sedimentation and scour;

    12.  wastewater quality decay, reactions and interactions;
         and

    13.  receiving water flow and quality.

Methods

Dry-weather flow and quality is provided as input data in the
form of average values for each catchment and adjustment factors
to account for diurnal (hourly), weekday, and seasonal adjust-
ments.  The model does not include provisions to compute either
                               55

-------
dry-weather flow or quality from land use.  Storm runoff is
computed from the weighted average rainfall of several raingages
for each catchment.  The record of each raingage is provided as
input in the form of cumulative values and can be given at
irregular intervals.  This eliminates the need to compute inten-
sities prior to running the program and to read in zeros for
periods of no rain.

Losses are subtracted from the rainfall separately for the per-
vious and impervious areas of each catchment to obtain the excess
precipitation contributing to surface runoff.  Losses from
impervious areas, such as wetting of surfaces and retention by
storage in depressions, are assumed to decay exponentially with
time as a function of catchment moisture conditions after an
initial loss is satisfied.  Losses from pervious areas include
infiltration and the losses considered for impervious areas.
They are approximated by a modified Holtan infiltration equation
which considers an initial loss that must be satisfied and treats
infiltration as a function of soil moisture content.  Morton's
equation, in contrast, if not modified, considers infiltration
only as a function of time, regardless of changes in soil mois-
ture conditions during the rainstorm.  A disadvantage of the
Battelle model formulation, however, is that infiltration is
computed from rainfall rather than the depth of water on the
catchment.  Consequently, the coefficients of the infiltration
equation must be calibrated to compensate for this approximation.

The excess precipitation is then convoluted with a unit hydro-
graph to determine the storm runoff from each catchment.  The
unit hydrographs are derived for ungaged catchments by a method
developed by the Soil Conservation Service.  They are computed
using the physical catchment characteristics which include
drainage area, length, slope, soil and vegetation.  Refinement
of these unit hydrographs is recommended if concurrent records
of rainfall and runoff are available.  For a given catchment,
the same unit hydrograph is used for runoff from both pervious
and impervious areas, which may lead to inaccuracies and cali-
bration problems.

The advantage of the unit hydrograph method over more hydro-
dynamic methods of overland flow routing, such as the use of the
kinematic wave equations, is that large drainage areas of up to
several hundred acres can be treated as a single catchment for
simulation purposes.  This allows the simulation of large metro-
politan sewerage systems without the need for defining each
small sewer.  The model is therefore particularly suited for the
simulation of major trunk and interceptor sewers.  The disad-
vantage of the unit hydrograph method is its approximation of
the basically nonlinear runoff phenomenon by a linear model and
the lack of verification for urban catchments.  This is not unique
to this method, however, and other more hydrodynamic methods
                                56

-------
suffer from the same deficiency due to the shortage of reliable
runoff data from urban catchments.

The quality of the storm runoff is computed using linear multi-
ple regression equations which relate the concentration of each
pollutant to the storm runoff rate, cumulative runoff during
the storm, and initial conditions.  The regression coefficients
have to be provided as input data together with seasonal adjust-
ment factors.  There are no provisions in the model to compute
stormwater quality from land use characteristics such as popula-
tion density, type of urban development, street sweeping prac-
tices, etc.

The dry-weather flow and quality are combined with the storm-
water flow and quality for each catchment and routed from each
inlet point through the s'ewers.  This includes the combining
of wastewaters and pollutants at sewer junctions.  If a regula-
tor is encountered during the routing, the flow is diverted
according to the hydraulic performance of the regulator.

The flow routing is accomplished by the kinematic wave form-
ulation of the equations of motion.  The equations consist of
the nonsteady equation of continuity, Manning's equation to
define the energy gradient, and relationships based on the
geometry of circular pipes.

The kinematic wave equations are solved in Lagrangian coor-
dinates  (characteristic solution) in order to reduce the need
for knowing initial conditions everywhere in the modeled system
and to facilitate the optimization under transient conditions.
This formulation does not consider downstream hydraulic control,
backwater effects and flow reversal, and approximates surcharg-
ing and pressure flow independently for each pipe.

Convective transport of pollutants is computed using the kine-
matic wave celerity instead of the flow velocity to facilitate
the consideration of both wastewater flows and quality in the
real-time control optimization.  The magnitude of the resulting
error in the pollutant travel times has not been evaluated.
The model does not consider hydrodynamic dispersion, scour and
deposition, decay, reactions and interactions between the
pollutants.

At each regulator the quantity of the flow diverted into the
system and that portion overflowed is computed using the appro-
priate weir and orifice discharge equations for each type of
structure.  At present,  the model simulates four types of fixed
(noncontrollable)  regulators:   perpendicular weir overflow with
orifice dry-weather outlet (weir may have other angles to flow
direction); sidespill weir with orifice dry-weather outlet;
                               57

-------
leaping weir overflow; and orifice overflow (no weir).   The
regulator equations consider only upstream flow conditions and
neglect the effect of downstream conditions on the regulator
discharge.

In addition, the control optimization determines the required
flow diversion at any type of controllable regulator, such as
inflatable rubber dams for the storm overflow outlets in combina-
tion with hydraulically operated gates for diversion of dry-
weather flows.  The present version of the model does not,
however, compute the weir height or gate setting which would
produce the required flow diversion.

At regulators and treatment facilities, the cumulative waste-
water volume and pollutant mass of the effluent is computed.
If the overflow is diverted to a storage facility, the cumula-
tive values represent the time history of cumulative inflow to
the storage facility.  Diversions to each storage facility are
determined by the control optimization which evaluates the
optimum utilization of all storage facilities for the duration
of the storm runoff.  It is assumed that the stored wastewaters
are returned to the system during dry-weather flow periods.
This is not computed, however, in the present version of the
model.

Both overflow and in-line treatment are handled by the model.
The main treatment plant is considered as in-line treatment.
The rate of pollutant removal is determined from tables which
relate flow rate and concentrations with treatment efficiency
for each type of treatment and pollutant.  These tables are pro-
vided as input data.  The model does not include mathematical
formulations of treatment processes which relate physical
characteristics of the facility with treatment efficiency.

The optimization consists of a two-phase scheme combining design
optimization with optimum control of the sewer system.   For
simulation purposes alone the optimization is not activated.
For control purposes alone only the control optimization is
used.  For design and planning purposes, the design optimization
is run in conjunction with the control optimization to incorpor-
ate cost savings resulting from the optimum system operation
into the total design.

For real-time operation of a system, the control optimization
computes at regulators the required diversion of flows and
pollutant masses to receiving waters, interceptors, storage
facilities, and treatment plants.  Dynamic programming is used
to allocate available sewer, storage facility, and treatment
plant capacities so that the total mass of pollutants entering
the receiving waters through storm runoff is minimized.  In
                               58

-------
addition, constraints can be imposed at each regulator on either
the maximum pollutant mass discharge rate or concentration of
the wastewaters overflowed.

For planning and design studies the model can simulate the per-
formance of a sewer system, permitting consideration of potential
alternatives for system improvements.  This may include new sewer
lines, regulators, and storage and treatment facilities.  The
design optimization determines the most economical combination
of new facilities to perform a specified task:  reducing waste
discharges to receiving waters below a specified level or mini-
mizing waste discharges for the amount of investment available.
It provides required sizes and costs of sewer pipes, regulators,
treatment plants, and storage facilities.  A modified gradient
technique is employed for the design optimization.  This techni-
que considers both the dynamic response of the planned system
as determined by the hydraulic and water quality computations
and the optimum operation of the planned system as determined
by the control optimization.

Computer Program

The program is available to any user.  Its documentation, how-
ever, is only in the draft stage.  The program is written in
Fortran IV.  The Battelle version consists of two main segments:
the hydraulic and water quality computations are programmed for
a DEC PDP-9 computer and the optimization for a Univac 1108
computer.  The total program is operated in batch mode using an
interface between the two computers.  Programming modifications
in the interface between the two segments of the Battelle ver-
sions are required before the model can be implemented on differ-
ent computers.  An IBM computer version of the complete program
is being used by the Control Systems Group of the Department of
Public Utilities of the City of Cleveland (Pew et al., 1972).
IBM versions are also being used by Watermation, Inc., of Saint
Paul, Minnesota.

Most program output is on a hydrostatic printer and includes
tables and plots of rainfall intensities for each catchment,
junction, regulator, storage and treatment facility; water
level, discharge, velocity, wave celerity and Froude number
for each pipe reach; cumulative storage volume for each storage
facility; and size and cost of sewers, storage and treatment
facilities for design optimization.  In addition, schematic plots
of the sewerage system showing the sewer layout and locations
of inlets, regulators, junctions, storage and treatment facili-
ties can be obtained.  Options are available to suppress any
or all printed and plotted output and to choose only cathode
ray tube displays of selected tables and plots.
                              59

-------
Evaluation

At present, this is the only model which includes mathematical
optimization techniques for both real-time control applications
and for least-cost design purposes.  It is the only model which
considers the costs of sewers, storage and treatment facili-
ties in the design optimization.  It is also the only model
wh.ich considers wastewater quality objectives in the real-time
and design optimization.

Most limitations resulting from various approximations and
simplifications in the wastewater flow and quality formulations
are described above.  The principal limitations which may re-
strict the model's general applicability are the neglect of
downstream hydraulic controls in the flow routing and the neglect
of inline storage facilities and storage in the sewers.  Con-
sideration of these aspects would require major model revisions.
Other modifications, such as the addition of formulations for
new types of regulators, other pipe cross sections, pumping
stations, and inverted syphons, can be accomplished by the addi-
tion of appropriate subroutines.

The model can be used only for the simulation of individual
runoff events since it does not include provisions for either
catchment moisture or water quality accounting between rain-
storms.  The model has been tested on very limited urban hydro-
logic data and its accuracy has not been sufficiently established.
The Watermation version of the model is being used for engineering
assessments and design purposes.

BRITISH ROAD RESEARCH LABORATORY MODEL

Summary

The British Road Research Laboratory Model simulates the time-
varying runoff in combined sewerage systems consisting of several
catchments and a converging branch sewer and open channel net-
work (Watkins, 1962; Terstriep and Stall, 1969).  The model
computes surface runoff only from impervious areas which are
directly connected to the storm drainage system  (flow does not
pass pervious areas).  The model is limited to the simulation
of single runoff events.  Water quality, real-time control and
design features are not included.

The Illinois State Water Survey Urban Drainage Area Simulator
is an extension of this model which simulates also the runoff
from pervious areas and includes an option to either size reten-
tion basins or circular sewers  (Terstriep and Stall, 1974).
Model documentation was received too late for a detailed review.
                               60

-------
The British Road Research Laboratory Model includes the following
features:

     1.  dry-weather flow of several catchments;

     2.  several rainfall records

     3.  storm runoff from impervious areas directly
         connected to the storm drainage system for
         several catchments;

     4.  flow routing in gutters;

     5.  routing of combined wastewater flow in a
         converging branch network; and

     6.  circular and rectangular closed conduits and
         trapezoidal open channels.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow from land use characteristics;

     2.  evapotranspiration;

     3.  snow accumulation and melt;

     4.  catchment moisture balance between storms;

     5.  flow routing in loops and diverging branches;

     6.  downstream flow control, backwater, surcharging,
         pressure flow, and flow reversal;

     7.  flow control and diversion structures;

     8.  storage facilities;

     9.  water quality;

    10.  real-time control;

    11.  design; and

    12.  costs.

Methods

Dry-weather or base flow is provided as input data in the form
of a linear function of time.   This is probably satisfactory
                               61

-------
for runoff periods of a few hours.  The model does not include
provisions to compute dry-weather flow from land use.

Storm runoff is computed from the weighted average rainfall of
several raingages.  The rainfall has to be provided in the form
of cumulative values at constant time intervals.  Losses are
subtracted from the rainfall according to a function of time
which is defined as input data.  Since the model does not con-
sider runoff from pervious areas, which requires the considera-
tion of infiltration, the subtraction of losses from rainfall
without considering the overland flow depth is probably adequate.

The rainfall excess is routed to sewer inlets using average
travel times computed for each hydrograph from Manning's equa-
tion.  This appears to be an adequate approximation for storms
of low intensity.  For storms of high intensity, however, the
effect of different travel times for different runoff rates is
expected to introduce significant errors into the runoff computa-
tion.

The combined flow is routed from each inlet through the sewers
with a storage routing technique which uses average travel times
computed for each inlet hydrograph from Manning's equation.  The
error introduced by this approximation becomes larger as the
flow variations and range of flows increase.  The model can be
used for open channels since it includes routing formulations
for trapezoidal open channels in addition to circular and rec-
tangular closed conduits.

The formulation does not consider downstream flow control, back-
water effects, surcharging, pressure flow, and flow reversal.
The model does not simulate flow control and diversion structures
and storage facilities.

The model can be used only for the simulation of individual run-
off events since it does not include provisions for catchment
moisture accounting between rainstorms.  The model does not
include design features.

Computer Program

The program is available from the Storm and Combined Sewer Sec-
tion, Advanced Waste Treatment Research Laboratory of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.  A user's manual is not avail-
able; the user has to rely on limited information documented in
the references.  The program was written in Fortran IV for the
IBM 360/75 computer and Calcomp plotter of the University of
Illinois.

Program output includes printed and plotted rainfall intensities
for each raingage and discharges at sewer junctions and the
                               62

-------
downstream sewer outlet.  Water levels and velocities are not
computed.

Evaluation

Model applicability is severely limited since it neglects the
runoff from pervious catchment areas such as gardens, lawns,
and natural areas.  This restricts the model's application to
catchments with large portions of paved or impervious areas.
In addition, the approximations in the overland and sewer flow
routing schemes introduce unacceptable errors for flow result-
ing from high intensity storms.

The model was tested by Stall and Terstriep  (1972) using data
from ten urban catchments ranging in size from 6 ha  (14 acres)
to 21 km2 (8 sq mi).  The results indicate that model accuracy
appears to be satisfactory for catchments of less than 13 km2
(5 sq mi)  if the impervious areas directly connected to the
storm drainage system comprise more than 15 percent of the total
drainage area and if the frequency of the storm is less than
20 years.

CHICAGO FLOW SIMULATION PROGRAM

Summary

The Chicago Flow Simulation Program is intended primarily for
the simulation of large catchments consisting of both sewered
and nonsewered areas (Lanyon and Jackson, 1972 and 1974).  It
simulates the time-varying runoff in combined sewerage systems
and nonurban drainage basins consisting of several catchments
and a converging brach sewer and open channel network.  The
flow routing formulation for natural channels includes provi-
sions for flow and storage in flood plains.  The model can be
used for continuous simulation using hourly or shorter time
steps.  Water quality,  real-time control and design features
are not included.

The Chicago Flow Simulation Program includes the following
features:

     1.  dry-weather flow of several catchments;

     2.  rainfall, snowfall, air temperature, and wind
         velocity at several weather stations;

     3.  evapotranspiration;

     4.  snow accumulation and melt;
                              63

-------
     5.  stormwater runoff from pervious and impervious
         areas of several catchments;

     6.  catchment moisture accounting during periods of
         no precipitation;

     7.  routing of combined wastewater flow in a converging
         branch sewer and natural channel network;

     8.  circular closed conduits and trapezoidal open
         channels and flood plains; and

     9.  in-line storage reservoirs with preset operating
         rule.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow from land use characteristics;

     2.  flow routing in gutters;

     3.  flow routing in loops and diverging branches;

     4.  noncircular closed conduits;

     5.  downstream flow control, backwater, surcharging,
         pressure flow, and flow reversal;

     6.  flow control and diversion structures;

     7.  water quality;

     8.  real-time control;

     9.  design; and

    10.  costs.

Methods

Dry-weather flow is computed for each catchment from popula-
tion and dry-weather flow per capita for each hour provided as
input data.  The model does not include provisions to compute
dry-weather flow from land use.

Storm runoff is computed from rainfall or snowmelt.  One weather
station can be specified for each subcatchment.  The snowmelt
computations are based on a method of the U.S. Bureau of Rec-
lamation (1966) which requires as input data precipitation at
constant time steps, daily average air temperature and daily
                               64

-------
average wind velocity.  The precipitation values have to be
provided as the amount of precipitation which fell in each time
interval.

Originally, the program was formulated for 1-hour time steps
and required at least 1 day of hourly precipitation data as
input.  The version furnished to Battelle was modified to accept
shorter time increments, but still requires a minimum of 1 day's
data.  This is a considerable inconvenience for small time steps,
especially since a separate data card is used for each time step.

Different formulations are used for the computation of runoff
from rainfall for sewered and nonsewered areas.  If the area is
sewered, it is assumed that the rainfall-runoff relationship is
linear and that the water stored on the catchment during a time
step flows into the sewer during the same time step.  It is
assumed that all rain falling on impervious areas becomes run-
off and a constant fraction of the rain falling on pervious
areas becomes runoff.  This is a serious restriction since it
neglects variations in catchment characteristics such as shape,
slope, and surface roughness and assumes a constant rate of
rainfall loss.  Considerable errors are therefore introduced
if much of the catchment is sewered.

For nonsewered areas, it is assumed that all rain falling on
impervious areas becomes runoff.  A time delay is introduced,
however, by specifying that a constant fraction of the water
stored on the impervious areas becomes runoff during each time
step.  This again neglects the effect of variations in catch-
ment shape, slope and surface roughness on overland flow.  For
pervious areas,  rainfall losses are computed using an empirical
function relating the losses to rainfall, catchment shape, and
soil moisture.  Continuous accounting of soil moisture is
accomplished with an empirical equation which considers deep
percolation and evaporation.  Evaporation is defined as a
function of soil moisture at each time step and average daily
air temperature.  Linear storage routing is used to compute
overland flow from the pervious areas, considering overland
flow storage,  catchment shape and slope but assuming a constant
surface roughness.

Flow routing in both circular sewers and trapezoidal open
channels is accomplished by a storage routing technique using
Manning's equation.   The equations for the circular pipes are
simplified by assuming a linear relationship between depth,
cross-sectional flow area, and discharge.  The effects of this
approximation on flow routing accuracy have not been determined.
A special provision is incorporated into the model for the con-
sideration of water storage and flow routing in flood plains if
the flow exceeds open channel capacity.   The flow routing proce-
dure does not consider downstream flow control,  backwater
                              65

-------
effects, surcharging, pressure flow, and flow reversal.

Reservoirs can be simulated with a fixed type of operation which
assumes that all inflow exceeding a specified maximum outflow
is stored.  The formulation does not require data on reservoir
and outlet geometry.  The model does not simulate other flow
control facilities and diversion structures.

Computer Program

An IBM version of the program is available from the developers
at the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago and
a CDC 6400 version is available from Battelle-Northwest.  Both
versions are written in Fortran IV.  A complete user's manual
is not available but sufficient information on model formula-
tion and input data requirements is given by Lanyon and Jackson
(1974) and there is a supplementary manuscript describing the
input data formats.

Program output includes input rainfall data, daily rainfall
totals, daily drainage from snowmelt, and end of day snow depths
at each raingage; daily average discharge at selected points;
maximum stage and discharge for each reach; and stage, discharge
and storage for each time step at selected reaches.  Velocities
are not computed.  Line printer plots can also be obtained for
stage, discharge and storage as functions of time for selected
reaches if the computational time step is one hour.

Evaluation

Model applicability appears limited to large catchments (larger
than 5 km2 = 2 mi )  as a result of the simplifying assumptions
for runoff from pervious and impervious areas of both sewered
and nonsewered areas.  The assumptions appear to be adequate for
local conditions of major Chicago drainage basins using continu-
ous simulations with 1-hr time steps.  The model could be
made more generally applicable by defining the physical meaning
of the runoff coefficients and defining them as input data
rather than as internal values in the program.

Testing reported by Lanyon and Jackson (1974) for ten monthly
rural catchments with drainage areas ranging from 12 to 264 km^
(4.7 to 102 sq mi) and 3 to 45 percent imperviousness indicated
satisfactory comparisons with measured streamflows for most
tested storms.

CHICAGO HYDROGRAPH METHOD

Summary

The Chicago Hydrograph Method simulates the time-varying runoff
in combined sewerage systems consisting of several catchments
                               66

-------
and a converging branch sewer or open channel network (Tholin
and Keifer, 1959; Keifer et al., 1970).  The model computes
diameters of circular sewers for peak flows.  Costs are not
considered.  The model is limited to the simulation of single
runoff events.  Water quality and real-time control are not
included.

The Chicago Runoff and Pollution Model is an extension of the
model for the continuous simulation of both wastewater flow
and quality (City of Chicago, 1972).  Model documentation was
received too late, however, for a detailed review.

The Chicago Hydrograph Method includes the following features

     1.  dry-weather flow of several catchments;

     2.  several rainfall records;

     3.  evapotranspiration;

     4.  storm runoff from pervious and impervious areas of
         several catchments;

     5.  catchment moisture accounting during periods of no
         rainfall;

     6.  flow routing in gutters;

     7.  routing of combined wastewater flow in a converging
         branch network;

     8.  circular closed conduits and trapezoidal open
         channels; and

     9.  sizing of circular pipes.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow from land use characteristics;

     2.  snow accumulation and melt;

     3.  flow routing in loops and diverging branches;

     4.  noncircular closed conduits;

     5.  downstream flow control, backwater, surcharging,
         pressure flow,  and flow reversal;

     6.  flow control and diversion structures;
                               67

-------
     7.  storage facilities;

     8.  water quality;

     9.  real-time control; and

    10.  costs.

Methods

Dry-weather flow is provided as input data in the form of hydro-
graphs at constant time intervals for each catchment.  The model
does not include provisions for computing dry-weather flow from
land use.

Storm runoff is computed from the weighted average rainfall of
several raingages.  Rainfall intensities have to be provided at
1-minute time intervals, a serious limitation.  Longer time
intervals can be specified, however, for the runoff and routing
calculations.  The program includes an option to compute design
storms of 1 to 100-year frequencies by providing the coefficients
for the design storm equations as input data.

Infiltration losses on pervious areas are computed from Horton's
equation which has been modified to account for actual infiltra-
tion.  This would appear to produce a more accurate loss computa-
tion than does the more common use of Horton's equation in other
models which neglect the effect of actual infiltration or soil
moisture on the potential infiltration rate.  The Chicago Hydro-
graph Method, however, computes actual infiltration from rain-
fall rather than overland storage depth, thus introducing a
different kind of approximation.  After subtracting infiltration
from rainfall, the remaining moisture is reduced by an exponen-
tial function of available depression storage and cumulative
rainfall excess to account for losses due to depression storage.
This formulation is based on the assumption that smaller depress-
ions fill sooner than larger depressions.  The remaining moisture
then becomes the overland flow contribution from the pervious
area.

It is assumed that runoff occurs from impervious areas until all
available depression storage is filled.

During dry periods, the potential infiltration is assumed to
recover by a constant rate of 76 mm/hr  (3 in./hr).  Depression
storage on pervious areas is assumed to recover as a function
of potential infiltration rates.  Depression storage on imperviou
areas is assumed to recover fully after 6 hours of dry weather.
The recovery of catchment moisture conditions implicitly con-
siders evaporation but can be considered only a rough approxima-
                               68

-------
tion since it neglects the influence of meteorological variables
other than rainfall.

These formulations appear to give the method continuous simula-
tion capability.  Nevertheless it can be used only for the
simulation of single runoff events since the program does not
provide for the input of initial catchment moisture and channel
flow conditions, does not print out final catchment moisture
conditions, and is restricted to simulation periods of less than
500 minutes.

Overland flows from pervious and impervious areas are routed
separately by means of a storage routing technique which uses
empirical functions and is based on a method by Izzard.  The
routed overland flows from both pervious and impervious areas
are then combined and routed through the gutters using a storage
routing technique.  Routing coefficients relating storage with
discharge must be provided as input data for the overland flow
routing for both pervious and impervious areas and for the gutter
routing.  Equations are provided in the user's manual for estimat-
ing the coefficients from catchment and gutter physical character-
istics.  The method seems unnecessarily complicated since more
exact and simpler formulations based on the kinematic wave equa-
tions are available.

Flow routing is formulated for circular pipes and trapezoidal
open channels again using a storage routing technique.  Manning's
equation is solved for the peak flow of each hydrograph to define
a linear relationship between storage and discharge.  The flow
routing procedure does not consider downstream flow control,
backwater effects, surcharging, pressure flow, and flow reversal.

If the diameter is not given for a circular pipe, then the pro-
gram computes the diameter as a function of the peak flow at
the downstream end of the pipe.  The program does not compute
the sizes of open channels.

Computer Program

An IBM 1130 version of the computer program written in Fortran
IV and a user's manual (in draft form)  is available from the
Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering of the City
of Chicago.

Computer output includes rainfall intensities for each raingage
at 1-minute time intervals and the time intervals selected for
the routing; discharge at ten selected times or all time inter-
vals for each subcatchment and reach, the combined flow at each
junction, and the downstream outlet; peak discharge and time of
peak discharge for each subcatchment; peak discharge, peak
                               69

-------
velocity and time of peak discharge for each reach; and the dia-
meter of circular pipes if the diameter was entered as zero.
In addition, the discharge hydrographs can be plotted on an IBM
1627/11 plotter.  Water levels and velocities other than peak
velocities are not computed.

Evaluation

The model is suitable for the simulation of nonsteady runoff
from urban and nonurban catchments.  It includes considerable
simplifications in the overland, gutter and flow routing which
would appear to limit the model's accuracy and which are not
necessary considering the present state-of-the-art of flow
routing techniques.  Routing constants have to be provided as
input data for both pervious and impervious overland flow rout-
ing and the gutter routing.  Equations are provided in the manual
for external estimation of the constants, which is an inconven-
ience.  The routing coefficients for the sewer and open channel
routing are computed by the program.

Although the model includes provisions for catchment moisture
accounting during periods of no rainfall, it cannot be used for
continuous simulations due to the computer program limitations
described above.  A special feature of the model is its design
capability for the sizing of circular sewer pipes, which could
make it attractive in spite of the other limitations.

The model developers do not report any testing of the method
with measured urban runoff data which would allow judgment on
model accuracy.

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY URBAN RUNOFF MODELING

Summary

The Colorado State University's urban runoff modeling efforts
are included in this review because these special research
activities are expected to provide new and improved techniques
for the control of overflows and the simulation of nonsteady
flow in pipes.

Two parallel research efforts are being conducted.  One is
directed toward the development of automatic control of sewer
systems.  The second study is concerned with the physical model-
ing of runoff from rainfall and flow routing in pipes and the
verification of mathematical models using the data derived from
the physical models.  Both studies are concerned only with the
estimation of urban runoff and the design of storm sewers and
control based on wastewater flow alone.  Wastewater quality and
treatment are not considered.
                               70

-------
Methods

Considerable research is being conducted into the feasibility
and potential techniques for automated real-time control of
overflows in storm and combined sewerage systems.  A series of
reports has been published covering various aspects of these
studies, ranging from conceptual development of mathematical
control schemes to the consideration of social and political
aspects of urban wastewater management (Smith et al., 1972;
Grigg et al., 1973 and nine other supporting technical reports).
Although an operational mathematical model for real-time control
has not been developed to date, these efforts are significant
in developing system concepts and the future direction of urban
wastewater management.

Separate research is being conducted at Colorado State University
to investigate various flow routing techniques in circular pipes
(Yevjevich and Barnes, 1970).  The investigations have covered
both experimental and numerical studies.  A circular conduit
0.91 m  (3 ft)  in diameter and 250 m (822 ft) long was used to
measure the propagation of flood waves of various configurations.
The experiments provided data for the numerical testing of
various finite difference solutions of the dynamic wave equa-
tions for gradually varied free-surface unsteady flow (the
Saint-Venant equations).  Various explicit finite-difference
solutions of the partial differential equations were investi-
gated, including the unstable, diffusing, upstream-differencing,
leap-frog, and Lax-Wendroff schemes.  In addition, both first-
order and second-order interpolation schemes of the character-
istic differential equations were studied.  It was concluded
that the specified interval scheme of the characteristic
equations using second-order interpolation was the most accurate
of all the methods studied and that the second-order interpola-
tion Lax-Wendorff scheme was the most accurate of all the
explicit methods studied in solving the partial differential
equations.

The diffusing scheme, Lax-Wendroff scheme, and specified
interval scheme of the method of characteristics were computer
programmed for a single string of pipes.  The schemes consider
constant flow initial conditions and permit input hydrographs
at various points along the pipe string.  The formulations
consider both upstream and downstream hydraulic control, back-
water, and flow reversal.  Surcharging and pressure flow are
not considered.  The formulations do not provide for junctions
and diversions.  Nevertheless, the programs can be viewed as
significant steps toward the formulation of more general flow
routing schemes in circular pipes than the more common and
restrictive storage routing and kinematic wave routing schemes.
                               71

-------
The investigations did not consider implicit finite difference
schemes of either the partial differential equations or the
characteristic differential equations.  Implicit methods are
becoming more popular as computer capabilities increase since
they may require less computer time.  Explicit methods become
numerically unstable if the selected time step exceeds a maximum
value which depends on the selected finite difference scheme and
the node spacing.  Implicit methods allow much longer time steps
with generally very little sacrifice in accuracy.  Implicit
methods are more difficult to program, however, than explicit
methods, particularly for large networks with complex boundary
conditions including junctions, diversion structures, pumping
plants, and storage facilities.

Computer Programs

No computer programs have been developed under the real-time
control research effort which are sufficiently operational to
form either a real-time control scheme or significant parts of
such a scheme.

However, computer programs are available for three nonsteady
routing schemes from the Office of Research, Federal Highway
Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.  The programs
are written in Fortran IV for a CDC 6400 and 6600.  The programs
compute and print water levels, velocities, and discharges for
any desired point along a pipe string.

Evaluation

Research at Colorado State University related to real-time control
of storm and combined sewerage systems has been limited to the
development of concepts.  No operational simulation programs
have been developed, but the concepts will be useful in evalu-
ating the future direction of urban wastewater management and
the development of a real-time wastewater control systems.

The explicit solutions and computer programs of the Saint-Venant
equations for gradually varied unsteady flow in circular pipes
constitute a valuable contribution to the simulation of general
flow conditions in sewers.  The methods merit consideration for
incorporation into comprehensive sewerage system simulation
models since they consider upstream and downstream hydraulic
control, backwater, and flow reversal which are not modeled by
the more common formulations based on storage routing and the
kinematic wave equations.

CORPS OF ENGINEERS STORM MODEL

Summary

The Storage, Treatment and Overflow Model (STORM) of the Corps
of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center is intended primarily
for evaluating of the stormwater storage and treatment capacity
required to reduce untreated overflows below specified values
(Corps of Engineers, 1973).  The model can simulate hourly
stormwater runoff and quality for a single catchment for several
years.  Five water quality constituents are computed for
different land uses:  suspended and settleable solids, biochem-
ical oxygen demand, nitrogen, and phosphorus.

The model does not route flows and quality through a sewer net-
work and does not have real-time and design capability.  Its
main purpose is the assessment of future needs for treatment
and storage of stormwater under varying land use conditions.
Dry-weather flows and quality are not simulated; consequently
the model is not applicable  to combined sewerage systems.

The STORM model includes the following features:

     1.  rainfall, snowfall, air temperature, and
         evaporation at one weather station;

     2.  evapotranspiration;

     3.  snow accumulation and melt;

     4.  stormwater quality  for different land uses;

     5.  suspended and settleable solids, biochemical
         oxygen demand, nitrogen, and phosphorus;

     6.  stormwater runoff and quality from pervious
         and impervious areas of a single catchment;

     7.  catchment moisture  accounting during periods
         of no precipitation;

     8.  capacity of storage facilities;

     9.  hydraulic capacity of treatment facilities; and

    10.  volume and quality  of overflows.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow and quality;
                               73

-------
     2.   consideration of nonuniform  catchment
         precipitation distribution;

     3.   stormwater runoff and quality  from more  than one
         catchment;

     4.   flow and quality routing  in  gutters, sewers and
         open channels;

     5.   wastewater quality decay, reactions and  inter-
         actions ;

     6.   wastewater quality improvement by treatment;

     7.   real-time control;

     8.   design; and

     9.   costs.

Methods

Hourly stormwater runoff is defined as the product of a runoff
coefficient and hourly rainfall excess.  Only one precipitation
record can be used.   The runoff coefficient is the weighted
average of empirical runoff coefficients for the pervious and
impervious areas and represents the fraction of rainfall excess
lost to infiltration.  The rainfall excess is defined as the
difference between hourly rainfall and losses to depression
storage.  The depression storage at the beginning of a rainstorm
is defined as the available depression storage at the end of
the previous rainstorm plus a linear recovery to account for
evaporation during the period of no precipitation.  A different
evaporation rate can be specified for each month of the year.
Snowmelt is computed by the degree-day method which requires
mean daily air temperature as input data.

The runoff coefficients, available depression storage, and
depression storage recovery factor have to be derived by
calibration with observed data.  Default values are given in
the program but no instructions are provided for estimating
adequate values for ungaged catchments.  Dry-weather flow is
not simulated.

The computations for the stormwater runoff quality are based on
formulations first used in the EPA Stormwater Management Model,
which simulated only suspended solids, biochemical oxygen
demand,  and coliform bacteria.  The STORM model has been expan-
ded to simulate suspended and settleable solids, biochemical
oxygen demand, nitrogen, and phosphorus.  Empirical equations
                              74

-------
considering land use, street sweeping practices, and days
between rainstorms define the amount of each pollutant on the
ground at the beginning of a rainstorm.  An exponential function
of the runoff rate determines the rate of each pollutant being
washed off the catchment during each hour.  The rates of runoff
of BOD, N, and PO, are assumed to be dependent on the rate of
runoff of suspended and settleable solids.

The runoff quality formulations depend on a large number of
empirical coefficients which have been derived from very limited
urban stormwater runoff and quality data.  The coefficients are
internal to the program and do not account for variations in
land use and catchment characteristics.  Application of the
model in different areas may therefore require programming
changes to modify the coefficients.  Input data which may be
difficult to obtain include the daily rate of dust and dirt
accumulation and the percent of each pollutant contained in the
dust and dirt for different land uses.  Default values are
provided by the program.  Dry-weather quality is not considered
by the model.

Computations of treatment, storage and overflow proceed on an
hourly basis by simple runoff volume and pollutant mass balance.
If the hourly runoff exceeds the treatment capacity, the excess
runoff is put into storage.  If the storage capacity is also
exceeded, the excess runoff becomes untreated overflow.  If the
runoff is less than the treatment capacity and water is in
storage, then the excess treatment capacity is utilized to
diminish the storage volume.

Plug flow is assumed for the routing of pollutants through
storage.  The water quality is not modified in storage.  For
treatment, only the hydraulic capacity of treatment facilities
is considered.  Stormwater quality improvement by treatment is
not modeled.

Computer Program

The computer program is written in Fortran IV for a UNIVAC 1108
computer and is available from the Hydrologic Engineering
Center of the Corps of Engineers.  The simulations require 1-
hour time steps and a minimum of 24 hours of simulation.
Several years of data can be simulated in a single run; the
maximum duration depends only on computer running costs and
the objective of the analysis.

Program output includes hourly precipitation for a single
raingage and various summaries of the stormwater runoff and
quality analysis for selected storm events.  These include the
duration and amount of rainfall, the time and amount of
                              75

-------
treatment, the amount of runoff, the utilization and age of
storage, the amount of overflow to receiving waters, and
averages for all selected events.  Runoff amounts are defined
in inches and pollutant quality in pounds.  In addition, tables
and line printer plots are available indicating the utilization
of storage.

Evaluation

The model is suitable for the continuous simulation of storm-
water runoff and quality from a single urban catchment.
Addition of features for the simulation of dry-weather flow and
quality would be desirable to extend model applicability to
combined sewerage systems.

Limitations on accuracy of the runoff computations are imposed
by the simplified rainfall-runoff formulation, particularly the
assumptions of a constant infiltration loss rate during rain-
storms, a constant evaporation rate between rainstorms, and
immediate runoff of the hourly rainfall excess.  The last
approximation would reduce model accuracy as the catchment
size increases and the time of concentration of the runoff
becomes longer than one hour.

The stormwater quality relationships are based on empirical
formulations which have been tested on very limited data and
whose accuracy has not been sufficiently established.  It is
therefore not possible to estimate their accuracy for applica-
tion to areas where no records of concurrent urban stormwater
runoff and quality are available for calibration purposes.

The model appears to be useful, however, for general planning
purposes to estimate the relative magnitudes of required
storage and treatment capacities to reduce stormwater overflows
below desired levels.  The model computes only the quality of
the overflows to the receiving waters.  Addition of the com-
putation of the quality of the treatment plant effluents would
be desirable to obtain the total pollutant load on the receiving
water.

Verification of the complete model is in progress. (Roesner,  et.al.,
1974).

DORSCH CONSULT HYDROGRAPH-VOLUME METHOD

Summary

The Dorsch Consult Hydrograph-Volume Method simulates the time-
varying runoff in combined sewerage systems consisting of
several catchments and a closed conduit and open channel net-
work including loops and converging and diverging branches
                              76

-------
(Ritter and Warg, 1971; Koniger, 1972; Koniger and Klym, 1972;
Koniger et al., 1972; Klym et al., 1972; Mevius, 1973; Dorsch
Consult, 1973; and Klym, 1975).  The flow routing is based on
a simplified solution of the full dynamic wave equations and
simulates backwater, surcharging, and pressure flow, but not
flow reversal.  The model simulates diversion structures and
storage basins.  The model is limited to the simulation of
single runoff events.  Water quality, real-time control and
design features are not included.

A separate Quantity-Quality Simulation Program has been developed
for the continuous simulation of wastewater flow and quality
(Geiger, 1975).  Model documentation was received too late for
a detailed review.  A brief description and hypothetical test
results furnished by Dorsch Consult are included in Appendix E.

The Dorsch Consult Hydrograph-Volume Method includes the
following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow of several catchments;

     2.  several rainfall records;

     3.  special statistical analyses of historical
         rainfall records to compute design hyetographs
         (separate program);

     4.  stormwater runoff from pervious and impervious
         areas of several catchments;

     5.  evapotranspiration;

     6.  catchment moisture accounting during periods
         of no precipitation;

     7.  routing of combined wastewater flow in a
         network of loops and converging and diverging
         branches;

     8.  various specified closed conduit and open
         channel cross sections and any arbitrary shape;

     9.  backwater, upstream and downstream flow
         control, flow reversal, surcharging and
         pressure flow;

    10.  flow control and diversion structures; and

    11.  retention storage basins.
                              77

-------
The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow from land use characteristics;

     2.  snow accumulation and melt;

     3.  water quality;

     4.  real-time control;

     5.  design; and

     6.  costs.

Methods

Sanitary flow is computed from input data on the average per
capita contribution and the number of residents.  A constant
groundwater infiltration rate to the sewers is also provided
as input data.  In addition, input data defining an average
base flow, a ratio of the average to the peak hourly flow and
a ratio of the average to the night flow are used to compute
a diurnal pattern of dry-weather flows.  At every manhole, a
constant rate of industrial wastewater flow may be provided as
input data.  The model does not include provisions to compute
dry-weather flow from land use.

A separate rainfall record can be provided for each subcatchment
to compute surface runoff.  A separate program performs special
statistical analyses to compute design storms of specified
frequencies from recorded rainfall events.

Runoff from impervious areas is computed separately from roofs
and streets.  No rainfall losses are assumed for impervious
areas without depression storage.  An initial loss has to be
satisfied before runoff begins from impervious areas with
depression storage and from pervious areas.  In addition,
infiltration losses are computed for pervious areas using
Morton's equation.  The statistical distribution of surface
depressions is considered in the runoff and infiltration com-
putations to account for earlier runoff from shallow depressions
and for reduced infiltration when only a part of the area is
covered with water and the rainfall intensity is less than the
infiltration capacity.

Infiltration calculations continue during periods of no rainfall
as long as water is on the pervious areas.  Puddles on impervious
areas are reduced by evaporation.  Runoff from snowmelt is not
computed.
                               78

-------
Infiltration is computed from overland flow depth, which is
more accurate than computing it directly from rainfall as some
model formulations do.  Horton's equation was modified to
account for soil moisture changes during and between rainfall
periods.

Overland flow is computed with the kinematic wave equation using
Manning's equation.  The overland flow length is assumed to be
the average width of streets, roofs or lawns within a subcatch-
ment (e.g., flow length on pervious areas = pervious area/sewer
length).  A data edit program provides these mean values.  This
eliminates the necessity of providing input data for each
urban lot or block.  Flow routing in gutters may be treated
like that in sewers.

An implicit finite difference solution of the dynamic wave
equations  (the Saint-Venant equations) is formulated for the
routing of nonsteady flows through sewers, open channels, and
retention basins.  The formulations consider drop structures
and are coupled with equations computing overflow at diversion
structures.  The Manning or Prandtl-Colebrook equation is used
to define the energy losses for the flow routing, and the Poleni
equation computes the diverted flow and overflow at diversion
structures.

An iterative procedure is used to compute depths and discharges
at each time step, starting with estimated values in the first
iteration.  First, the new discharges are computed in the
downstream direction and then the new depths are computed in
the upstream direction.  Normally 30 iterations are required
for each time step to obtain satisfactory convergence.  This
type of numerical solution prevents the computation of flow
reversal although the basic equations include this phenomenon.
Flow reversal can be simulated by inserting hypothetical sewer
segments where flow reversal is expected, and specifying flow
in the direction opposite that in the parallel original segment.
The solution technique, however, considers upstream and down-
stream flow control and backwater.  The dynamic wave equation
is solved in such a way that it also simulates surcharging and
pressure flow.  The program allows input of both sewer invert,
basement and ground surface elevations and computes flooding
resulting from backwater or surcharging conditions.

The model does not include water quality, real-time control,
design and cost computations.

Computer Program

This is a proprietary model developed by the engineering
consulting firm Dorsch Consult Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH of
                               79

-------
Munich, Germany.  A North American office is maintained in
Toronto, Canada.  The firm indicated that the model may be
released under certain use and distribution restrictions.  The
program is written in Fortran IV and can be run on a Univac
1108 and CDC 6600.

The program can be run in either British or metric units.
Program output includes water surface elevations and discharges
for every desired point in the system.  Cumulative inflow and
outflow are printed for diversion structures and retention
basins.  The stored volume is also printed  for retention basins,

Evaluation

This is one of the most complete and possibly accurate models
for the computation of runoff from urban catchments and the
routing of flows in sewer networks.   Extreme detail with respect
to subcatchment discretization is required, however, to calcu-
late accurate overland flow from rainfall.  Simplifications are
probably possible to allow larger subcatchment areas without
significant loss in accuracy.

The implicit solution of the Saint-Venant equations provides
an accurate means of computing the flow routing in the sewers
coupled with routing through diversion structures and retention
basins.  The consideration of both upstream and downstream
boundary conditions and the computation of backwater is part
of the basic equations and does not have to rely on approximate
methods such as those included in some kinematic wave or stor-
age routing techniques.  The implicit solution of the Saint-
Venant equations coupled with diversion equations is complicated
however, and time consuming on the computer as compared to more
approximate methods.  To simplify the solution somewhat an
iterative scheme is used which cannot consider flow reversal
(although it is contained in the basic equations).

Although the model formulations are considerably more precise
than most tested models, the increased accuracy demands a
sacrifice in computer time.  The model would be needed primarily
where backwater, downstream flow control, diversion structures,
retention basins, and surcharging are important features of
the sewerage system assessment.  If these features are not
present or are considered insignificant, simpler models requir-
ing less computer time can be used.

The model has been applied extensively in Germany and Switzer-
land, and moderately in Canada, the U.S.A. and other countries.
Model comparisons with measured runoff data are limited.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL

Summary

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Stormwater Manage-
ment Model is one of the most comprehensive mathematical models
available for the simulation of storm and combined sewerage
systems.  It computes the combined storm and sanitary runoff
from several catchments and routes the flows through a conver-
ging branch sewer network (Metcalf & Eddy et al., 1971) .  Flow
diversion structures can be modeled and storage can be simulated
for both inline and overflow retention basins.  An additional
feature is a receiving water model which includes nonsteady
formulations of hydrodynamics and mass transport for two-
dimensional (vertically mixed)  water bodies receiving sewerage
system effluents.

Both dry-weather and Stormwater quality for suspended and
settleable solids,  biochemical and chemical oxygen demand,
coliform bacteria,  phosphorus,  nitrogen,  and oil and grease
are computed for each modeled catchment and routed through the
sewerage system.  Mathematical formulations which simulate
various combinations of overflow treatment processes for one
treatment facility are included to evaluate the effectiveness
of overflow treatment.  The model does not include real-time
control features.  The model is limited to the simulation of
single runoff events and inline treatment cannot be simulated.
Cost functions are built into the program to compute the cost
of overflow storage and treatment.

The Stormwater Management Model includes the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow and quality of several catch-
         ments from land use;

     2.  several rainfall records;

     3.  Stormwater runoff and quality for pervious
         and impervious areas of several catchments
         from land use;

     4.  light water quality constituents:  suspended
         and settleable solids, biochemical and chemical
         oxygen demand, coliform bacteria, phosphorus,
         nitrogen,  oil and grease;

     5.  flow routing in gutters;
                              81

-------
     6.  routing of combined wastewater flow and quality
         in a converging branch network;

     7.  twelve specified closed conduit cross sections,
         a trapezoidal section, and two arbitrary shapes;

     8.  backwater, surcharging and pressure flow;

     9.  two types of diversion structures;

    10.  pumping stations;

    11.  one overflow and two inline storage facilities
         with four types of outlet facilities;

    12.  sedimentation and scour of suspended solids;

    13.  first-order water quality decay of BOD;

    14.  treatment of coliform dependent on suspended
         solids;

    15.  one overflow treatment plant with arbitrary
         combinations of nine unit treatment processes;

    16.  costs of storage and treatment;

    17.  receiving water flow and quality, and

    18.  sizing of circular pipes.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  evapotranspiration;

     2.  snow accumulation and melt;

     3.  catchment moisture accounting during periods
         of no precipitation;

     4.  sewer flow and quality routing in loops and
         diverging branches;

     5.  downstream flow control and flow reversal;

     6.  water quality reactions and interactions in
         the sewers and in storage; and

     7.  real-time control.
                               82

-------
Methods

Dry-weather flow and quality of eight constituents can either
be provided as average values or computed from land use char-
acteristics such as total population, population density, land
use, residential income and home valuation of each subcatch-
ment.  Adjustment factors can be read in for diurnal  (hourly)
variations in flow and quality.  Weekday adjustment factors
can be read in for all but coliform bacteria.  Industrial or
commercial process flows and quality can be input separately.

Rainfall intensities of several raingages can be provided as
input data to compute storm runoff from several catchments.
Only one raingage record can be assigned to a particular sub-
catchment.  A more accurate method of representing spatially
nonuniform rainfall would be to compute a weighted average of
the records of all raingages surrounding a subcatchment.

Losses are subtracted separately from the rainfall falling on
pervious and impervious areas.  Runoff occurs only when all
depression storage is filled.  No other losses are computed
for impervious areas.  Evaporative losses are not computed.

For pervious areas, the potential infiltration is computed with
Horton's equation and the actual infiltration depends on the
available overland flow depth.  This is a more accurate compu-
tation than basing the infiltration losses on the amount of
rainfall.  Horton's equation, on the other hand, computes the
potential infiltration as a function of time only and does not
account for the change in potential infiltration with changes
in soil moisture.  The equation is satisfactory as long as the
available moisture is greater than the potential infiltration,
but errors are introduced during low intensity and intermittent
storms when the available moisture is less than the computed
potential infiltration.  As a consequence, the infiltration
coefficients of the equation have to be adjusted for different
storms although theoretically they should be based on catchment
soil characteristics only, independent of the storm patterns.
This makes it difficult to use one set of coefficients with
confidence for prediction purposes.

Overland flow is computed separately for pervious and impervious
areas using a kinematic wave formulation with Manning's equa-
tion.  A similar formulation is used for the gutter flow
routing.  The model formulation assumes that overland flow
length and catchment length are equal.  This is satisfactory
for small catchments, such as individual lots and possibly
city blocks,  but errors are introduced if the difference
between overland flow and catchment length increases (as
occurs when several city blocks are lumped into a single
                              83

-------
subcatchment).  The model assumes that infiltration occurs
throughout the time required for the overland flow to run the
entire length of the catchment.  Actual infiltration, however,
may occur only during the time it takes the overland flow to
run the length of a single lot.  As a consequence, the computed
infiltration would be greater than the actual infiltration and
the computed runoff hydrograph would be underestimated.  Users
of the model apparently compensate for this error by reducing
the infiltration coefficients.  A better solution would be to
reformulate the overland flow computation to account for the
fact that infiltration may occur over a shorter distance than
overland flow.

Infiltration from the ground into the sewers accounts for dry-
weather infiltration, wet-weather infiltration, melting resi-
dual ice and snow infiltration, and groundwater infiltration.
Average infiltration values for the entire modeled drainage
basin have to be provided as input data.  The entire catchment
infiltration is then apportioned to individual sewers on the
basis of the conduit perimeter and number of joints in each
conduit.  A degree-day method is used to compute the infiltra-
tions from snowmelt, but the accumulation of snow and surface
runoff from snowmelt is not modeled.  The effect of the infil-
trating water on the quality of the sewage is considered
negligible and not modeled.

Flow routing in the sewers is accomplished with the kinematic
wave equation using Manning's equation.  The basic formulation
neglects downstream flow control, backwater, surcharging,
pressure flow and flow reversal.  Special formulations are in-
corporated in the model, however, to approximate backwater,
surcharging and pressure flow.  General downstream control and
flow reversal are not modeled.

Backwater is modeled by formulating a special backwater element
with an inline storage element of fixed length and simulating
it with a storage routing technique.  This requires input data
on flow depth versus storage volume which is difficult to
compute for special sewer shapes (such as horseshoe shapes,
etc.) with a nonzero invert slope.  Also, the assumption of a
constant backwater length appears to make the formulation highly
approximate.  Since the program permits only two inline storage
elements, backwater can be considered at only two locations in
the entire sewerage system.  Also definition of a backwater
element reduces the number of actual storage facilities that
can be modeled.

If surcharging occurs, the model assumes that all water in
excess of full pipe flow capacity is stored in the next up-
stream manhole.  The formulation neglects the storage volume
                               84

-------
of the manhole and the actual propagation of the surcharging
farther upstream.  The formulation consequently serves only to
conserve volume and to warn the user that surcharging conditions
exist, without adequately computing the phenomenon.  Conduits
can be sized by the program to avoid surcharging.

The flow routing scheme is formulated for 12 specified closed
conduit cross-sections and a trapezoidal section.  In addition,
two arbitrary conduit shapes can be specified by providing
input data relating the dimensions of each shape to flow area,
hydraulic radius, and discharge.

Two types of flow diversion structures can be modeled.  The
first type assumes that all inflow exceeding a maximum value is
overflowed.  No data are needed to describe the geometry of
this type.  The second type assumes that no overflow occurs
until the inflow exceeds a specified value.  In this case, the
depth of flow is found from a linear relationship between flow
and depth and the overflow computed from this depth with a weir
discharge equation.  A more accurate formulation would be
possible based on the weir and orifice equations.

Pumping stations can also be modeled.  The model assumes that
the pumps begin to operate at a constant pumping rate when the
volume in the wet well reaches a maximum value and continue to
pump until the wet well is pumped dry.

The model can simulate the performance of one overflow and up
to two inline storage facilities.  The model computes depth
and volume of storage as a function of the inflow and outflow.
The outflow is computed based on the hydraulic performance of
the following four options of outflow conditions:  gravity with
orifice centerline at zero storage tank depth; gravity with
fixed weir; gravity with both weir and orifice; and fixed rate
pumps.  Either regularly or irregularly shaped reservoirs can
be specified by different input data.  If a reservoir overflows,
program execution terminates.

Stormwater quality is computed as a nonlinear function of
stormwater runoff rate (which includes an exponential decay
with time to account for the higher rates of pollutants being
washed off during the beginning of a storm).  Coefficients in
equations for each of the three modeled pollutants account for
different land uses.  The equations consider street sweeping
practices and days between rainstorms in defining the amount
of each pollutant on the ground at the beginning of a rainstorm.
The formulations account also for the contribution of accum-
ulated BOD in catchbasins.  Many of the coefficients in the
formulations are internal to the program and have been derived
from very limited data of measured stormwater runoff and
                               85

-------
quality.  Programming changes may therefore be required to
apply the model to different areas and land use characteristics.

Stormwater and dry-weather qualities are combined at inlet man-
holes and routed through the sewers according to the flow velo-
city of the sewage.  Dispersion is not modeled directly, but
by averaging qualities between successive time steps.  The
equations consider first-order decay of BOD and sedimentation
and scour of suspended solids.  Reactions and interactions
between the pollutants during the routing are not considered.

Plug flow or complete mixing can be specified for the routing
of pollutants through storage facilities.  Deposition of sus-
pended solids can be computed, but not resuspension.  Reactions
and interactions in storage are not modeled.

Nine overflow treatment processes can be modeled and arranged
by the user in any series or combination.  The modeled unit
processes are:  bar racks, fine screens, sedimentation,
dissolved air flotation, dissolved air flotation preceded by
fine screens, microstrainers, high rate filters, effluent
screens, and chlorination.  Mathematical formulations for each
process relate hydraulic capacity to removal efficiency.  The
user does not have the option of varying the process efficien-
cies without changing coefficients internal to the program.
For some processes, however, the amount of chemicals used is
read in to account for their effect on treatment performance.

BOD removal and suspended solids removal are considered indepen-
dently.  Coliform removal, however, is defined as a function
of suspended solids removal.

Cost functions are built into the model which compute the cost
of overflow treatment.  Separate functions are defined for
each unit treatment process and for storage and pumping if part
of the treatment facility.  Annual capital costs, land costs,
and operation and maintenance costs are related to hydraulic
capacity by power functions.  The shapes of the cost functions
are defined internally by the program.  Costs can be adjusted
by reading in the Engineering News Record Index for regional
adjustments and future expected changes.

The Stormwater Management Model includes also a receiving water
flow and quality segment which is based on the original EPA
dynamic estuary model.  Although review of this model segment
is not within the planned scope of this study, it is noted
because it adds considerably to the comprehensiveness of the
Stormwater Management Model.  It gives the model the capability
not only of modeling flow and quality in sewerage systems, but
                               86

of assessing the impact of the sewerage system effluents
the receiving water quality.
on
The flow computations of the receiving water models are based
on a simplified explicit finite difference solution of the
one-dimensional dynamic wave equations for nonsteady gradually
varied open channel flow (Saint-Venant equations).

Although the equations are written for one-dimensional flow
only, a special solution technique allows the simulation of
two-dimensional flow fields represented by an irregular grid
of links and nodes.  The continuity equation is solved at the
nodes (junctions of the links)  and the momentum equation is
solved along the links (channels between the nodes).  The
model is very costly to use since very short time steps are
required for numerical stability.  The formulation becomes
unstable if the discharges in adjacent channels and storage
volumes of adjacent nodes are not of the same order of magni-
tude.

The model includes the transport of several conservative and
nonconservative water quality constituents, considering first-
order decay.  Transport is modeled by convection only and
chemical and biological interactions between different water
quality constituents are not considered.  Other receiving water
flow and quality models developed recently for the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency for both steady and nonsteady state
water quality predictions in river basins  (including streams,
impoundments and estuaries) consider several water quality
constituents, including chemical and biological reactions and
interactions.

Computer Program

The original version of the computer program, which is available
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is written in
Fortran IV for an IBM 360/65 computer and is also compatible
for a UNIVAC 1108 computer.  There are five main programs which,
depending on computer core storage capacity, can be either
loaded together or in sequence depending on the user's needs.
The program was converted by Battelle-Northwest for a CDC 6400
computer as part of this study.  This version allows the
loading of the main programs in any sequence specified by the
user.

Fairly complete documentation of the model was published by
the EPA, including a summary report, user's manual, verifica-
tion and testing report, and program listings.  Unfortunately,
no one of these reports presents a complete description of the
theoretical bases and mathematical formulations of the model.
                              87

-------
The equations for some modeled phenomena are described in the
user's manual, and some are not described at all.  The reader
must compare the two reports to obtain a fair understanding of
the capabilities and limitations of the complete model and the
meaning of the input data.  Also, the user's manual includes
much discussion of model verification and testing which adds
to the report's bulkiness and makes it more difficult to find
essential information for the preparation of input data.

Program output includes tables and line printer plots of rain-
fall intensities for each raingage, combined runoff and quality
for each subcatchment, and routed discharges and water quality
at selected points of the sewerage system.  Summaries of treat-
ment effectiveness and costs are also available.  Water levels
and flow velocities in the sewers are not computed.

Evaluation

The EPA Stormwater Management Model is one of the most complete
mathematical models available for the assessment and planning
of storm and combined sewerage systems.  Consideration of both
wastewater flows and qualities is an important aspect of eval-
uating needed treatment facilities and the impact of sewage
effluents on receiving waters.  This is also one of the few
models which include cost computations.  Although the model
does not consider costs in the sizing of sewers, the computation
of the costs of overflow storage and treatment should be a
valuable aid to the engineer.

Most model limitations which result from various approximations
and simplifications in the wastewater flow and quality formu-
lations are described above.  Program limitations which may
restrict the model's general applicability include the neglect
of downstream hydraulic controls  (with the exception of very
rough approximations of backwater and surcharging conditions)
and the absence of formulations for inline treatment and main
treatment plants.  Better formulations which consider both
upstream and downstream flow conditions are also needed for
diversion structures.

The model can be used only for the simulation of individual
runoff events since it does not include provisions for either
catchment moisture or water quality accounting between rain-
storms .

The new version of the program includes an option to suppress
the water quality computations and perform the flow simulations
alone.  This can save considerable computer time if water
quality computations are not needed.
                               88

-------
The model is very complex and a major effort is required to
implement it.  The poorly organized documentation makes it very
difficult for the user to implement the model without many
false starts resulting from misinterpretations of the theoreti-
cal bases of the model and the meaning of some input data.

The model has been tested to some extent on urban hydrologic
data.  Due to the lack of available comprehensive measured data
of concurrent rainfall, runoff, and water quality, different
parts of the model were tested with different sets of data.
Numerical testing of the flow computations with data from
catchments ranging in size between 5 and 2200 ha  (13 and 5400
acres) showed satisfactory accuracy.  The accuracy of water
quality predictions can be expected to be only of the right
order of magnitude.  Considerable model improvement, particu-
larly of the formulations relating water quality with land use,
are needed before the water quality model can be used with
confidence.

Improvements are needed in the output formats.  The arrangement
of the catchment runoff table makes it difficult to abstract
the hydrograph of a particular subcatchment.  Complete output
of routed flow and quality can be obtained at only twenty
selected locations.  This is adequate for the evaluation of a
few important locations, such as major outfalls.  It is a
serious limitation, however, for the evaluation of an entire
sewerage system since repeated runs of the same data are re-
quired to obtain sufficient information on the adequacy, per-
formance, and utilization of all modeled sewer system elements.

Model improvements are in progress at the University of Florida
under an EPA contract to add snowmelt, to include more accurate
flow and water quality routing schemes, to add new water quality
parameters and unit treatment processes, and to simulate inline
(main) treatment processes (Heaney et al. ,  1973).   A new and
improved user's manual is being prepared for the revised model
(Huber et al., 1974).  The model is also being revised to add
continuous simulation capability for planning purposes (Smith,
1975) .  The model is being used by many consulting firms which
can assist cities in model implementation,  and a special
program for model dissemination and user assistance was conduc-
ted by the University City Science Center of Philadelphia
(Hagarman and Dressier, 1975).

HYDROCOMP SIMULATION PROGRAM

Summary

The Hydrocomp Simulation Program is one of the most comprehen-
sive mathematical models for the simulation of both rural and
                              89

-------
urban catchments.  The water flow computations are based on the
Stanford Watershed Model which was the first comprehensive
mathematical model of catchment hydrology (Crawford and Linsley,
1966).  The Hydrocomp Simulation Program, however, is a consid-
erable improvement over the original Stanford Watershed Model,
both with respect to mathematical formulations and data handling
capability  (Hydrocomp, 1972) .  Recently, a separate program was
developed for the simulation of water quality in river basins
which can be interfaced with the hydrologic and flow routing
program (Hydrocomp, 1973).

The Hydrocomp Simulation Program is formulated for the contin-
uous simulation of water flow and quality from several catch-
ments and routing in converging branch sewer and open channel
networks.  Catchment moisture and water quality are accounted
for during periods of no precipitation, so the model can be
used for continuous simulation of several years.  Special
features are included for the simulation of impoundments and
diversions, including the flow of water over spillways and
through hydroelectric turbines.  Real-time control and design
and cost features are not included.

Seventeen water quality constituents and their reactions and
interactions in natural water bodies can be simulated.  The
applicability of the formulations to combined sewage has not
been established.

The Hydrocomp Simulation Program includes the following
features:

     1.  dry-weather flow and quality of several
         catchments;

     2.  rainfall, snowfall, pan evaporation, air
         temperature, dewpoint, solar radiation, and
         wind velocity of several weather stations;

     3.  evapotranspiration;

     4.  snow accumulation and melt;

     5.  stormwater runoff and quality from pervious
         and impervious areas of several catchments
         from land use;

     6.  catchment moisture and water quality accounting
         during periods of no precipitation;

     7.  groundwater infiltration into sewers and open
         channels;
                               90

-------
     8.  seventeen water quality constituents with
         reactions and interactions in natural
         (receiving)  water bodies;

     9.  routing of combined wastewater flow and quality
         in a converging branch network;

    10.  circular closed conduits and trapezoidal open
         channels with trapezoidal flood plains;

    11.  upstream and downstream flow control and
         backwater;

    12.  diversion hydrographs;

    13.  in-line storage reservoirs with rule curve
         operation; and

    14.  water quality decay, reactions, and interactions
         in natural (receiving) water bodies.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow and quality from land use;

     2.  flow reversal, surcharging and pressure flow;

     3.  sedimentation and scour;

     4.  water quality decay, reactions and interactions
         in sewers;

     5.  flow and quality routing in loops and diverging
         branches;

     6.  noncircular closed conduits;

     7.  sewer flow control and diversion structures;

     8.  pumping stations;

     9.  wastewater treatment;

    10.  real-time control;

    11.  design; and

    12.  costs.
                              91

-------
Methods

The Hydrocomp Simulation Program includes the most complete
formulation of catchment hydrology of all the models reviewed.
The model computes runoff from pervious and impervious areas
separately and considers evapotranspiration, snowmelt, and soil
moisture accounting.

Precipitation (rain or snow) data is input at constant time
intervals for one or more raingages.  Other meteorological data
needed for the evapotranspiration and snowmelt computations
are provided on a daily basis.  Not more than one precipitation
record can be assigned to a single subcatchment.

Snow accumulation and melt are computed by a method developed
by the U.S. Corps of Engineers.  The equations require data on
precipitation, air temperature, dew point, solar radiation,
and wind velocity.  Programming defaults are used if some of
these data are unavailable.  Only precipitation and air temper-
ature are essential.

Dry-weather flow and quality data are input at constant time
intervals.  Dry-weather quality can also be defined by a power
function of dry-weather flow.

The potential infiltration rate is computed from an empirical
function of soil moisture.  The actual infiltration depends on
the rainfall excess after subtracting interception losses
rather than on the overland flow depth.  The infiltrated mois-
ture is divided into upper zone and lower zone storage.  Upper
zone storage includes depression storage.  Part of the upper
zone storage percolates into the lower zone storage and the
rest is divided into overland flow and interflow, which become
channel  (or sewer) inflow.  The lower zone storage is divided
into a channel inflow contribution and into deep groundwater
storage which does not contribute to surface runoff.

Interception, upper zone, lower zone, and groundwater storage
are depleted by evaporation or evapotranspiration computed as
functions of potential evapotranspiration and available mois-
ture.

Overland flow is routed with a modified kinematic wave formu-
lation using Manning's equation.  Several empirical coefficients
internal to the program relate surface detention storage to
overland flow discharge.

Although the model's representation of infiltration, groundwater
percolation and storage, overland flow, groundwater contribu-
tion to  surface flow, and evaporation from all moisture sources
                              92

-------
is based on physical concepts, the mathematical formulations
are based largely on empirical relationships.  They require
several empirical coefficients, some of which are defined as
soil moisture capacities.  The model appears sufficiently
complex that its use for prediction purposes without initial
calibration with measured data may not be very reliable.
Simpler models with fewer empirical coefficients seem adequate
to model infiltration and surface flow contributions in urban
catchments.

Flow routing in sewers and open channels is accomplished
using the kinematic wave equation with Manning's equation.  The
solution considers the geometry of circular pipes and of trape-
zoidal open channels with trapezoidal flood plains.  A diffusion
term in the kinematic wave equations approximates downstream
flow control and backwater conditions.  Surcharging and pressure
flow in sewers is not modeled but a warning is printed if it
occurs.  The time step for the routing computations is computed
internally to maintain numerical stability.

Reservoirs and channels can be simulated in the channel network.
Storage capacity has to be defined as a function of depth and
reservoir discharge has to be defined by rule curves relating
disch< rge with time.  Diversions are modeled by requiring
diversion hydrographs as input data.  Flow control, diversions,
and reservoir outlet structures are apparently not modeled
using appropriate hydraulic equations for weir, gate, and
orifice discharge.

The computation of stormwater quality is based on formulations
first used by the EPA Stormwater Management Model and then
expanded in the Corps of Engineers STORM Model and Water
Resources Engineers Stormwater Management Model.  The concen-
tration of each pollutant washed off a catchment is computed
as a nonlinear function of runoff.  Special empirical functions
are built in for water quality balance between runoff events
to account for dirt and dust accumulation, natural decay, street
cleaning practices, and different land uses.  The pollutant
accumulation between runoff events can vary with the calendar
month.  Different values can be specified for pervious and im-
pervious areas.  The equations and coefficients have not been
sufficiently tested for reliable predictions without calibra-
tion with measured data.

Pure advection is used to route pollutants through the sewer
and open channel network.  Dispersion is approximated by a
weighted average of concentration values at successive time
steps.  For receiving water bodies, chemical and biological
reactions and interactions among the seven modeled water quality
constituents are computed.  Only one-dimensional flow and water
                              93

-------
quality routing is formulated.  Vertical water quality inter-
change can be approximated among three horizontal layers in
impoundments by providing empirical mixing coefficients.  The
model documentation does not indicate whether reactions are
computed for sewage.  The model does not include formulations
for wastewater treatment, real-time control, or design and cost
computations.

Computer Program

The Hydrocomp Simulation Program is a proprietary model devel-
oped by the consulting firm Hydrocomp International, Inc., of
Palo Alto, California.  Separate user's manuals are available
for the flow and water quality computations of the model.
These contain sufficient detail covering the mathematical bases
of the modeled phenomena and the required input data.  The
user must contract with Hydrocomp for routine application of
the program.  The firm conducts periodic workshops to instruct
potential users in hydrologic simulation methods and applica-
tion of the Hydrocomp Simulation Program.

The computer program consists of four main programs and is com-
patible with IBM 360 and 370 computers with a minimum of 24OK
bytes of core memory.  Information is not published which would
allow estimates of computer execution times as a function of
problem size.

Computer output includes precipitation; soil moisture status;
water stages, velocities, discharges, and water quality con-
centrations for all channels and storage; and volume of storage.
Data input and output can be in metric or British units.

Evaluation

The Hydrocomp Simulation Program is the only available hydro-
logic model which can be applied for the continuous simulation
of both water flow and quality in urban and rural watersheds
and channel networks.  It was originally developed for the
hydrologic simulation of rural catchments, and recently water
quality computations for natural rivers and impoundments were
added.

Modifications for urban applications include the addition of
separate runoff computations for pervious and impervious areas
and flow and water quality routing in circular closed conduits.
Other model additions, however, would make the model more
generally applicable to urban sewerage systems:  for instance,
geometries of different closed conduit cross-sections, hydraulic
equations for different flow control and diversion structures,
                              94

-------
formulations for surcharging and pressure flow, and simulation
of treatment processes.

This hydrologic model has been tested and applied extensively
in many nonurban watersheds in the United States and abroad.
Reported testing on urban data is limited to four catchments
ranging in size from 100 to 1068 ha  (248 to 2640 acres) with
less than 22 percent imperviousness  (Crawford, 1971) .  Compari-
sons between measured and computed runoff for selected storm
events have produced generally good  agreement, with some excep-
tions attributed to potentially unreliable measured data.  Good
agreement between measured and computed runoff are also
reported for four stream gages in the partially urbanized North
Branch of the Chicago River_drainage basin, which has a drain-
age area of 264 km  (102 mi )  and 13 percent imperviousness
(Hydrocomp, 1970).  Testing and application of the water
quality model is in progress.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY URBAN WATERSHED MODEL

Summary

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)  Urban Watershed
Model simulates the time-varying runoff of several catchments
and a sewer and open channel network including loops and con-
verging and diverging branches (Harley et al.,  1970).   The
model is limited to the simulation of single runoff events.
Water quality and real-time control  features are not included.

A separate model includes design features to compute the sizes
and costs of sewers, storage and treatment facilities which
will result in the least-cost combination of alternatives for
the elimination of untreated overflows and the reduction of
flooding and surcharging (Kirshen et al., 1972).

The original model was developed at MIT for the U.S. Office of
Water Resources Research, but the model has been modified by
Resource Analysis, Inc., for its routine application (Schaake
et al., 1973).

The MIT urban Watershed Model  includes the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow of several catchments;

     2.  air temperature at one weather station;

     3.  several rainfall records;

     4.  special statistical analyses to compute design
         hyetographs (separate program);
                              95

-------
     5.  evapotranspiration;

     6.  snow accumulation and melt;

     7.  option to choose one of four different infiltration
         equations;

     8.  stormwater runoff from pervious and impervious
         areas of several catchments;

     9.  catchment moisture accounting during periods of
         no precipitation;

    10.  flow routing in gutters;

    11.  routing of combined wastewater flow in a converging
         network of loops and converging and diverging
         branches;

    12.  various standard closed conduits and open channel
         cross-sections and arbitrary shapes;

    13.  downstream flow control,  backwater, surcharging
         and pressure flow;

    14.  flow control and diversion structures;

    15.  storage facilities;

    16.  hydraulic capacities of treatment facilities; and

    17.  least-cost sizes of sewers, overflow storage and
         treatment plants meeting constraints on surcharging
         and untreated effluent volume (separate program).

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow from land use characteristics;

     2.  catchment moisture accounting during periods of
         no precipitation;

     3.  flow reversal;

     4.  water quality; and

     5.  real-time control.
                              96

-------
Methods

Dry-weather flow data for each inlet is input in the form of
hydrograph values at constant time intervals.  The model does
not include provisions to compute dry-weather flow from land
use.

Several rainfall intensity records can be provided as input
data.  Not more than one rainfall record can be used to compute
runoff from a subcatchment.  Special provisions are built into
the model to move a rainstorm across a catchment by specifying
its direction and velocity of movement.  A separate model is
available which computes design hyetographs of specified
frequencies from measured rainfall data.

Initial losses to fill depression storage on pervious and im-
pervious areas are subtracted before surface runoff begins.
The Resource Analysis version has four options to compute
infiltration on the pervious areas:  Horton's equation, Holtan's
equation, a U.S. Soil Conservation Service method, and a run-
off coefficient method.  Infiltration is subtracted from rain-
fall if the last two methods are used, but computed from over-
land flow depth if Horton's or Holtan's equation is used.  A
method based on filter theory can be used to estimate the in-
filtration parameters from measured rainfall and runoff (Leclerc
and Schaake, 1973).  Snow melt is computed by the Corps of
Engineers degree-day method which requires mean daily air temp-
erature as input data.  The Penman equation is programmed to
compute evaporation but generally not used for single runoff
event simulation.

Flow routing is accomplished with the kinematic wave equation.
The equations are solved by a finite difference scheme for
overland flow, flow in gutters, and flow in open channels and
for various standard cross-sections and any arbitrary shape
closed conduits.  Downstream flow control and backwater can be
considered if the stage-discharge relationship is known.
Surcharging and pressure flow is computed separately for each
pipe reach.  Flow reversal is not modeled.  Weir and orifice
flow control and diversion structures can be modeled by their
hydraulic equations.

The design model computes the sizes and costs of circular
sewers, the volumes of overflow storage facilities, and the
hydraulic capacities of treatment plants needed to reduce un-
desirable flooding and surcharging and to eliminate untreated
overflows.  Linear programming is used to determine the least-
cost combination of these facilities for a selected design
storm event.  The optimization is based on needed hydraulic
                              97

-------
capacities alone and does not consider water quality.  It re-
quires catchment runoff hydrographs as input data and uses a
simplified flow routing scheme.

Computer Program

The MIT Urban Watershed Model was developed under a series of
projects for the U.S. Office of Water Resources Research.
Each project covered a different aspect of the overall model
development.  The computer programs were written for an IBM
360/67 in Fortran IV.  The design program utilizes the linear
programming package of the 1971 IBM Mathematical Programming
System Extended (MPSX).  The model's core storage requirement
is not documented.  The potential user has to contract with
Resources Analysis, Inc., of Cambridge, Massachusetts, for
routine applications of the model.

Computer output of the model includes tables of rainfall inten-
sities and overland, catchment and channel depth, velocity
and discharge.  Samples of program output are not included in
the documentation for the design option but output for this
option includes the volume and duration of flooding for each
sewer and the required sizes and costs of sewer overflow stor-
age facilities and treatment plants.

Evaluation

The MIT model is a useful and efficient tool for the simulation
of urban and nonurban catchments, including both sewer and
natural stream networks where backwater, downstream flow
control and surcharging are not important.  Testing of the
model on catchments with drainage areas up to 120 km  (46 mi2)
shows good agreement between computed and measured runoff
(Leclerc and Schaake, 1973; Resource Analysis, 1974) .  The
model is being used extensively for practical engineering
assessments.

MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT PAUL URBAN RUNOFF MODEL

Summary

The Minneapolis-Saint Paul Urban Runoff Model was developed
for real-time forecasting of flows in the major trunk and in-
terceptor sewers of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul combined sewer-
age system to reduce untreated overflows to the Mississippi
River during rainstorms  (Minneapolis-Saint Paul Sanitary Dis-
trict, 1971).  The model computes the runoff of several large
catchments, diverts the flows at controllable regulating struc-
tures, and routes them through a converging branch sewerage
network to the treatment plant.  It is specifically  designed
                             98

-------
for real-time control operation on a small computer and cannot
be used for the assessment of existing or the design of new
sewerage systems since it uses a highly simplified flow routing
procedure whose coefficients have to be calibrated with mea-
sured data or derived from more sophisticated models.

Although the model was designed for continuous simulation by
incorporating provisions for the accounting of catchment mois-
ture between rainstorms, the necessary formulations were never
added and the program can be used only for the simulation of
single runoff events.  The real-time control operation, which
is not based on mathematical optimization techniques, requires
repeated trial and error runs with estimates of regulator set-
tings.  The model does not include water quality, design, and
cost computations.

The Minneapolis-Saint Paul Urban Runoff Model includes the
following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow of several catchments;

     2.  several rainfall records;

     3.  stormwater runoff from pervious and impervious
         areas of several catchments;

     4.  routing of combined wastewater flow in a
         converging network of unspecified sewer
         cross-sections;

     5.  six types of diversion structures;

     6.  telemetry system for real-time acquisition of
         rainfall, flow level, and regulator status data;
         and

     7.  remote control of diversion gates and weirs.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather and stormwater flow from land use;

     2.  evapotranspiration;

     3.  snow accumulation and melt;

     4.  catchment moisture accounting during periods of
         no precipitation;

     5.  flow routing in gutters;
                              99

-------
     6.   flow routing in loops and diverging branches;

     7.   noncircular closed conduits and open channels;

     8.   downstream flow control, backwater, flow reversal,
         surcharging, and pressure flow;

     9.   pumping stations;

    10.   storage facilities;

    11.   water quality;

    12.   design; and

    13.   costs.

Methods

Dry-weather flow data is input in the form of average values
for each catchment and adjustment factors to account for diur-
nal (hourly)  variations.  The model does not include provisions
to compute dry-weather flow from land use.  Storm runoff is
computed for each catchment from the weighted average rainfall
of several raingages.  The raingage record is input in the
form of cumulative values and can be given at irregular inter-
vals .   This is a distinct advantage over the common requirement
of most models that rainfall intensities be furnished at con-
stant time intervals, since it eliminates the need to compute
intensities prior to running the program and to read in zeros
for periods of no rain.

The rainfall excess contribution of each catchment is computed
separately for pervious and impervious areas.  Runoff does not
begin until all depression storage is filled.  Other losses
are computed for impervious areas by an exponential function
and by a modified Holtan's equation for pervious areas.  Both
formulations are functions of cumulative losses and consequent-
ly account for catchment moisture conditions.  This is a better
formulation than others which treat potential infiltration as
a function of time only without regard to the actual infiltra-
tion.   The Minneapolis-Saint Paul Model, on the other hand,
subtracts all losses from rainfall, which is less accurate
than basing them on overland flow and depth.

The excess precipitation is then convoluted with unit hydro-
graphs to determine the storm runoff from each catchment.  The
unit hydrographs are computed from catchment characteristics

unit hydrograph is applied to runoff from both the pervious
and impervious portion of each catchment, which may lead to
inaccuracies and calibration problems.

The unit hydrograph method was selected because of its rapid
computer implementation for the computation of runoff from
large catchments, an important factor in real-time control of
major trunk sewer regulators.  It allows the simulation of the
entire Minneapolis-Saint Paul combined sewerage system by only
15 catchments.

The progressive average lag method is used to route the flows
in the sewers.  The method requires two empirical coefficients
(an average travel time and the number of upstream flow values
to be averaged to obtain a downstream routed flow value) which
must be obtained by calibration with measured data or by deri-
vation with a different routing method.  Since sufficient data
are not available in a sewerage system, the coefficients were
obtained for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul system through solu-
tion of the characteristic form of the dynamic wave equations
for a single pipe.  Noncircular pipes were approximated by
circular pipes of equal cross-sectional area.  The progressive
average lag method does not require any information on the
geometry of the modeled pipes or open channels once the routing
coefficients are known.  It was chosen since it is extremely
fast and was considered sufficiently accurate for real-time
control purposes.  It cannot be used for the assessment or
design of sewerage systems where relationships between the
geometry of the conduits and channels and the hydraulic per-
formance of the system are required.

Diversions are computed at regulators using combinations of
orifice and weir equations which depend on the geometric con-
figuration of each structure.  The program includes formulations
for the following three common types of structures:  perpendi-
cular weir overflow with orifice dry-weather outlet (weir may
have other angles to flow direction), orifice or gate overflow
(without weir), and a structure which overflows when flow ex-
ceeds a preset maximum.  In addition, three special regulators
in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul trunk sewers (which probably
would not occur in other systems)  were programmed.

Computer Program

The computer program is written in Fortran IV for a DEC PDP-9
computer with 16K words of core memory.  The program consists
of seven main programs which are run sequentially.  The program
is interfaced with a real-time data acquisition system for rain-
fall, water level and regulator status data.  Remote control
of regulator weir and gate positions is accomplished manually.
                              101

-------
Program output includes rainfall intensities and catchment mois-
ture conditions for each catchment and discharges at regulators
and selected interceptor sewer locations.  Water depths and
velocities are not computed.

Evaluation

The model is intended primarily for the real-time forecasting
of flows in major trunk and interceptor sewers.  It is formu-
lated to run on a small process computer within time constraints
imposed by the real-time forecasting requirement.  As a conse-
quence the mathematical formulations include several simplifi-
cations, particularly in the catchment runoff and sewer routing
portions, to stay within the time and core storage constraints
of the small computer.  These simplifications make the model
unsuitable for assessment of existing sewerage systems or the
design of new sewerage systems.  They merit consideration,
however, for schemes involving real-time data acquisition and
control of overflows during rainstorms.

The model does not include mathematical optimization techniques
to determine optimal regulator settings which would minimize
overflows during rainstorms subject to capacity constraints of
the existing sewerage system and the treatment plant.  In its
present form, it has to be run repeatedly with trial values of
regulator settings until the desired regulator operation is
found which would maximize the utilization of system capacity
and minimize overflows.  Since this type of operation is time
consuming and fairly inefficient, the model is no longer used
for real-time control.  Instead, regulator settings are deter-
mined during a rainstorm by the operators on the basis of
their experience using the telemetered raingage and water level
readings.

SEATTLE COMPUTER AUGMENTED TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL SYSTEM

Summary

The Computer Augmented Treatment and Disposal System (CATAD)
of the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (Metro)  is an oper-
ating system for the real-time control of untreated overflows
from the main trunk and interceptor sewer regulators of the
metropolitan Seattle, Washington, combined sewerage system
(Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle, 1971; Gibbs and Poole,
1972;  Gibbs et al.,  1972;  Mallory and Leiser,  1973;  Leiser,
1974) .  Although it does not include a comprehensive mathe-
matical model for the simulation of combined wastewater runoff
at this time, the system is reviewed in this study because of
its capability for automatic computer control of diversion
structures and pumping stations.
                              102

-------
The system includes a small process computer, real-time data
acquisition of rainfall, water level and quality data, and re-
mote automatic computer control of regulators and pumping
stations.  The control scheme uses rule curves relating trunk
sewer storage upstream of regulators with time and appropriate
hydraulic equations for each regulator and pumping station to
maximize storage in the sewerage system and minimize untreated
overflows.  Each control structure is controlled independently
and potentially undesirable effects on overall system perfor-
mance are handled by manual overrides.  Real-time wastewater
quality data are not utilized as criteria for determining
overflow rates and locations.

The Computer Augmented Treatment and Disposal System includes
the following features:

     1.  rainfall at six raingages (more being added);

     2.  rule curves for each major trunk and interceptor
         sewer regulator relating storage with time for
         typical rainfall patterns;

     3.  hydraulic equations for each diversion structure
         to compute discharge considering both upstream
         and downstream hydraulic conditions;

     4.  hydraulic equations for each diversion structure
         to compute gate settings required to obtain
         desirable regulator discharge;

     5.  two types of pumping stations;

     6.  inverted siphons;

     7.  automatic real-time data acquisition for rainfall,
         water levels and quality, and regulator and pumping
         station status; and

     8.  remote automatic computer control of controllable
         regulators and pumping stations.

The system does not include the following features;

     1.  precipitation-runoff computations;

     2.  flow routing in gutters, sewers and open channels;

     3.  storage reservoirs;
                              103

-------
     4.  water quality within the system;

     5.  design; and

     6.  costs.

Methods

The Computer Augmented Treatment and Disposal System is opera-
tional to the extent of providing automatic control of sixteen
regulators and two pumping stations.  The remote control is
determined using real-time data acquisition of rainfall from
six raingages and water levels upstream and downstream of con-
trollable flow regulating structures and pumping stations.
Rule curves are used to determine the operation of the regula-
tors and pumping stations which will maximize available sewer
storage capacity and minimize untreated overflows.

The rule curves represent sewer storage capacities as functions
of time for the sewer upstream of each controlled regulator
and pumping station.  Each curve was developed from runoff
patterns of representative historical rainstorm patterns and
represents the desirable filling schedule for a sewer based on
its storage capacity.  The rule curves may be adjusted as storm
patterns vary and as storage requirements change.

Hydraulic equations were programmed in two modes for each type
of regulator.  The first mode is used to evaluate regulator
performance under different flow conditions and regulator set-
tings.  It computes the regulator discharges for given inflows
and regulator settings.  The second (control)  mode is used
during the real-time control operation to determine the regula-
tor settings (such as gate heights)  which will result in the
desired regulator discharges as determined by the rule curves
for the predicted runoff pattern.

The present control scheme uses simulation at 1/2-hour inter-
vals to compute the required regulator and pumping station
operation for the following 1/2 hour.   Regulator and pumping
station controls are then reset at 5- or 10-minute intervals,
depending on the rate of change of the runoff.  All flow
level gages at the regulator and pumping stations are scanned
every minute and all raingages every 5 or 10 minutes to pro-
vide the real-time data for the control scheme.  The system
is therefore operating in full computer control mode.  Manual
override is possible for alarm conditions.

At present, comprehensive optimization is not used to maximize
utilization of available sewerage system flow and storage capa-
city.  The effect of flow routing is considered by the control
                              104

-------
system, however, by automatically adjusting flow control struc-
tures if excessive flow conditions occur in the sewers.  Dif-
ferent approaches to the development of a comprehensive
sewerage system simulation and control model are being investi-
gated.  Separate submodels have been programmed, such as the
computation of runoff from rainfall using the unit hydrograph
method and flow routing in the sewers using the dynamic wave
equations.  These submodels have not been combined with the
regulator equations into a comprehensive simulation model for
the entire trunk and interceptor sewerage system.

Computer Program

The computer programs are written in Fortran for a Xerox Sigma
2 computer with 44K words of core memory, of which 31K are used
for the data acquisition and remote control operation  (fore-
ground operation) while the remaining 13K are available for
other purposes  (background operation).  The programs are system
specific and not transferable for general application else-
where.

Evaluation

This is an operational system for real-time automatic computer
control of untreated overflows during rainstorms.  The system
has been shown to be very effective in reducing untreated
combined overflows to the receiving waters.  The system's
effectiveness could be improved by replacing the rule curve
operation with systematic optimization techniques which maxi-
mize the utilization of available sewer flow and storage capa-
city and consider constraints on the quality of the overflows.

SOGREAH LOOPED SEWER MODEL

Summary

The Looped Sewer Model of the French consulting firm Societe
Grenobloise d'Etudes et d1Applications Hydrauliques  (SOGREAH)
simulates the time-varying runoff of combined sewerage systems
consisting of several catchments and a sewer and open channel
network including loops and converging and diverging branches
 (SOGREAH, 1973 - 5 reports).  The model includes formulations
for most hydraulic phenomena encountered in closed conduit and
open channel networks.  The flow routing solves the dynamic
wave equations coupled with equations for special sewer system
facilities, such as diversion structures, pumping stations,
inverted siphons, and retention basins.  The solution considers
both upstream and downstream boundary conditions, backwater,
surcharging, pressure flow, and flow reversal.  Conservative
water quality constituents can be routed through the sewerage
network.
                              105

-------
The model appears to be limited to the simulation of single
runoff events.  Real-time control and design features are not
included.  This is a proprietary model and not all details of
the model formulations are available.  The firm has North Ameri-
can branch offices in New York City and Lasalle, Quebec, Canada.

The SOGREAH Looped Sewer Model includes the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow of several catchments;

     2.  design hyetographs and hydrographs from catchment
         characteristics or several rainfall records;

     3.  stormwater runoff from pervious and impervious areas
         of several catchments;

     4.  routing of combined wastewater flow in a network of
         loops and converging and diverging branches;

     5.  circular and egg-shaped closed conduits, trapezoidal
         open channels, and any arbitrary shapes;

     6.  backwater, upstream and downstream flow control,
         surcharging, pressure flow, and flow reversal;

     7.  flow control and diversion structures considering
         both upstream and downstream flow conditions;

     8.  inverted siphons;

     9.  pumping stations;

    10.  overflow and in-line storage facilities;

    11.  receiving water flow  (separate program); and

    12.  routing of conservative and first-order decaying
         water quality constituents.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow and quality and stormwater quality
         from land use characteristics;

     2.  input of recorded rainfall data;

     3.  evapotranspiration;

     4.  snow accumulation and melt;
                              106

-------
     5.  catchment moisture accounting during periods of
         no precipitation;

     6.  sedimentation and scour;

     7.  wastewater quality decay, reactions and interactions;

     8.  real-time control;

     9.  design; and

    10.  costs.

Methods

Dry-weather flow data for each inlet is input in the form of
hydrograph values at constant time intervals.  The model does
not include provisions for computing dry-weather flow from
land use.

Options exist to read in several rainfall records, move a rain-
storm over a catchment in a specified direction, or compute a
synthetic design rainfall.  The synthetic rainfall is defined
by a maximum design rainfall of specified frequency for each
catchment using a formula developed by Caquot.  The formula
considers catchment characteristics such as slope, percent
imperviousness, and drainage area and contains eight empirical
coefficients.  The maximum design rainfall is transformed into
a design rainfall hyetograph by a second formula which requires
two additional empirical coefficients.  The rational formula
or the Horton equation can be used to compute the rainfall
excess hyetograph from either measured or synthetic hyetographs.

The rainfall excess hyetographs are then routed over each catch-
ment to the sewer inlets using the Muskingum flood routing meth-
od.  This requires two additional empirical coefficients, one
of which is estimated and the other computed with a formula
suggested by Schaake and Geyer.  The formula considers the per-
cent imperviousness and the overland flow length and slope and
contains four additional empirical coefficients.  The two
Muskingum coefficients are adjusted from runoff measurements
if available.

The formulations for the catchment runoff do not consider evapo-
transpiration, snow accumulation and melt, and catchment mois-
ture accounting during periods of no precipitation.  Consequently,
the model is not suited for continuous simulation of catchment
runoff.
                              107

-------
Flow routing is accomplished with the dynamic wave equations for
nonsteady gradually varied open channel flow (Saint-Venant equa-
tions) .  Strickler's equation (same as Mannings's equation) is
used to compute the energy gradient.  An implicit finite differ-
ence solution is employed which considers various upstream and
downstream boundary conditions,  including the performance of various
types of special sewerage system facilities.  The solution tech-
nique computes backwater and flow reversal and special formula-
tions are included to handle surcharging, pressure flow, and flood-
ing at sewer inlets.  This gives the model the capability to simu-
late nonsteady flows not only in a converging branch network but
also in diverging branches and loops.  Equations for circular and
egg-shaped closed conduits and for trapezoidal open channels are
built into the program.  The user can add subroutines for other
cross sections and also read in geometric data for any arbitrary
shapes.

Equations are built into the program  to  compute the discharge
over weirs and  through gates and orifices.   Regulator gate
positions can be read in as functions of time.  Inverted siphons
and two  types of pumping stations can also be simulated.  The
equations for these special facilities consider both upstream
and downstream  flow conditions and  their solutions are coupled
with  the solution of the dynamic wave equations for the flow
routing.  The model appears to simulate  storage facilities but
details  on relevant formulations were not available.

The flow routing portion of the model is set up for continuous
simulation.  The user can read in initial conditions for every
sewer system element, stop the computations  after any number of
simulated hours, and restart the simulation  using the final
conditions of the previous run as the new initial conditions.

The model does  not include real-time  control and design and
cost  computations.  A water quality program  is being developed
and the  formulations for routing of conservative and first-
order decaying  substances through the sewerage network are
operational.  Pollutant transport is  computed by an explicit
finite difference solution of the advection  equation.

Computer Program

This  is  a proprietary model developed by the French consulting
firm Societe Grenobloise d'Etudes et  d1Applications Hydrauliques
of Grenoble, France.  North American  representatives are in
New York City and Lasalle, Quebec,  Canada.   A user's manual
is available in French, but supporting documentation on model
features and formulation is inadequate to fully assess the
model's  capabilities and limitations.
                                 108

-------
The program consists of five main programs which are loaded in
sequence and coupled through common input/output data files.
The program was written in Fortran IV for an IBM 360/65.  The
complete program has about 3,000 Fortran statements.

For program operation, only one of the five main programs is
loaded into core at any one time.  The program uses dynamic core
allocation.  A core storage requirement of 65K bytes is estimated
for a simulation of 100 sewerage system nodes with 1000 computa-
tional points  (where stages and discharges are computed).  The
execution time for this system is estimated at 0.25 seconds
for the generation of each 3-hour inlet hydrograph and 2.7
seconds per time step for the routing computations.

Program output includes tables and plots of water depths  (or
pressures), velocities and discharges for each computational
point.  Program input and output are in metric units.

Evaluation

The SOGREAH Looped Sewer Model includes very comprehensive formu-
lations for the routing of flow in sewerage networks.  It can
simulate all nonsteady gradually varied flow phenomena, sur-
charging and pressure flow, and hydraulic performance of special
facilities for complex sewerage systems, including loops and
converging and diverging branches.  The implicit solution of
the Saint-Venant equations coupled with equations for special
facilities is complicated, however, and longer computer execu-
tion times can be expected than for simpler models.  The length
of the time steps can be changed during the simulation to save
computer time.  For example, short time steps can be used dur-
ing rapidly varying flow conditions and longer time steps during
slowly varying flow conditions without loss of accuracy.  Numeri-
cal testing indicated that the implicit solution is computa-
tionally as fast as some solutions of the simpler kinematic
wave equation.

The model would be useful primarily where the consideration of
backwater, downstream flow control, diversion structures,  re-
tention basins, surcharging, and flow reversal are important
features of the sewerage system assessment.  If these features
are not present or are considered insignificant, simpler models
requiring less computer time can be used.

The model is based on a mathematical model for flows in river
basins developed by SOGREAH earlier.   Due to satisfactory verifi-
cation results with the river basin model, SOGREAH did not re-
port verification of the sewer model with measured urban rainfall
and runoff data.

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI URBAN RUNOFF MODEL

Summary

The University of Cincinnati Urban Runoff Model simulates the
time-varying runoff of storm sewerage systems consisting of
several catchments and a converging branch sewer and open channel
network (University of Cincinnati, 1970; Papadakis and Pruel,
1972).   The model does not include provisions for dry-weather
flow, water quality, real-time control and design.  It is limited
to the simulation of single runoff events.

The University of Cincinnati Urban Runoff Model includes the
following features:

     1.  one rainfall record;

     2.  stormwater runoff from pervious and impervious areas
         of several catchments;

     3.  flow routing in gutters;

     4.  routing of stormwater runoff in a converging branch
         network; and

     5.  circular closed conduits and rectangular open channels.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow;

     2.  consideration of nonuniform catchment rainfall
         distribution;

     3.  evapotranspiration;

     4.  snow accumulation and melt;

     5.  catchment moisture accounting during periods of
         no precipitation;

     6.  flow routing in loops and diverging branches;

     7.  noncircular closed conduits;

     8.  downstream flow control, backwater,  flow reversal,
         surcharging,  and pressure flow;

     9.  flow control and diversion structures;
                             110

-------
    10.  pumping stations;

    11.  storage facilities;

    12.  water quality;

    13.  real-time control;

    14.  design; and

    15.  costs.

Methods

The University of Cincinnati Urban Runoff Model accepts the
input of only one hyetograph for the entire drainage basin.
Although this may be a weighted average of several raingage
records, it neglects the areal nonuniformity of rainfall over
the catchment.  Losses to depression storage for both pervious
and impervious areas are subtracted as a function of available
depression storage capacity and cumulative rainfall and losses.
Infiltration on pervious areas is computed with Horton's equa-
tion, with its time origin offset to balance cumulative rainfall
and potential infiltration.  This could improve the computation
or infiltration compared to its unmodified use; other inaccura-
cies are introduced, however, since all losses are computed from
rainfall without considering the overland flow depth and stor-
age, and Horton's equation does not consider soil moisture
conditions.

Overland flow is computed by a storage routing technique similar
to the method used by the Stanford Watershed Model and Hydro-
comp Simulation Program.  The method uses Manning's equation
and includes several empirical coefficients internal to the
program to relate surface detention storage with overland flow.


The gutter flow routing uses a steady state approach,  assuming
that the gutter outflow equals its inflow during the same time
interval.

Flow routing in the sewers is accomplished by a simple trans-
lation of the upstream hydrograph by its average travel time
computed with Manning's equation.  The formulation is  extremely
approximate, since it neglects the effects of varying  travel
times as functions of the discharge.  The formulation  does not
consider downstream flow control, backwater, flow reversal,
surcharging, and pressure flow.   Special sewer system  elements,
such as flow control and diversion structures, are not modeled.

Computer Program

The computer program is written in Fortran IV for an IBM 360
and is available from the University of Cincinnati.  The program
has about 800 statements.  Its core storage and running time are
not published.

Program output primarily includes discharges at selected points.
Water depths and velocities are not printed.

Evaluation

The University of Cincinnati Urban Runoff Model contains sev-
eral simplifications, as described above, which appear to
severely limit its accuracy.  The assumption of uniform rain-
fall distribution, the neglect of dry-weather flows, the computa-
tions of infiltration from rainfall rather than available mois-
ture on the catchment, the neglect of catchment moisture condi-
tions on potential infiltration rates, the steady state flow
routing in gutters, and the sewer flow routing technique neglect-
ing dynamic flow phenomena impose severe constraints on the model's
applicability for complex combined sewerage systems.

Although some encouraging comparisons between measured and com-
puted results have been reported for the 5.2 ha (12.9 acre)
Oakdale catchment in Chicago, Illinois and the 964 ha (2,380
acre) Bloody Run catchment in Cincinnati, Illinois  (Papadakis
and Pruel, 1973), they were restricted to single rainfall events
and required considerable calibration, particularly with respect
to the selection of infiltration values.  Other testing on the
70 ha (173 acre) Vine Street catchment in Melbourne, Australia
and on the 500 ha (1,240 acre) Yarralumla Creek catchment in
Canberra, Australia using more complex storm patterns showed
considerable differences between measured and computed runoff
values (Heeps and Mein, 1974).

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS STORM SEWER SYSTEM SIMULATION MODEL

Summary

Considerable research is in progress at the University of
Illinois on the development of hydrologic models in general
and urban runoff models in particular.  A comprehensive mathe-
matical model combining rainfall-runoff computations for urban
catchments and sewer flow routing in a single computer program
has not been developed.

A model is available, however, for the nonsteady routing of
flows in converging branch sewer networks.  It is based on the
solution of the dynamic wave equations which consider upstream
and downstream flow control, backwater, and flow reversal
                                112

-------
(Sevuk, 1973; Sevuk et al., 1973).  The model requires hydro-
graphs as input data but could become a component in a compre-
hensive urban hydrologic model including rainfall-runoff compu-
tations.  The model does not include water quality and real-
time control features.  A design feature determines sizes of
circular pipes for peak flows.  Costs are not considered.
Separate hydrologic catchment models have been developed (Chow
and Kulandaiswamy, 1971; Chow and Ben-Zvi, 1973) and research
for the development of an urban catchment model is in progress
for potential interfacing with the routing model.

The University of Illinois Storm Sewer System Simulation Model
includes the following features:

     1.  dry-weather and storm runoff hydrographs of
         several catchments have to be provided as input
         data;

     2.  routing of combined wastewater flow in a converging
         sewer network;

     3.  circular closed conduits;

     4.  upstream and downstream flow control, backwater,
         and flow reversal;

     5.  weir, gate or pumping station flow controls without
         diversions at the outlet;

     6.  in-line storage facilities; and

     7.  pipe sizes for peak flow.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow from land use;

     2.  precipitation-runoff computations;

     3.  flow routing in gutters;

     4.  flow routing in loops and diverging branches;

     5.  noncircular closed conduits and open channels;

     6.  surcharging and pressure flow;

     7.  diversion structures;
                              113

-------
     8.  in-line pumping stations;

     9.  water quality;

    10.  real-time control; and

    11.  costs.

Methods

The University of Illinois Storm Sewer System Simulation Model
is strictly a flow routing model and does not include the
computation of dry-weather flows from land use or the computation
of runoff from precipitation.  Inflows to the modeled sewer
network have to be provided in the form of hydrographs as input
data.  The flows are routed through a converging network of
circular sewers with the equations for nonsteady gradually
varied open channel flow (Saint-Venant equations).   The charac-
teristic partial differential equations are solved by a first-
order explicit finite difference formulation.  The Darcy-Weis-
bach equation is used to define the energy gradient.  Weir and
gate controls and pumping rates can be specified as downstream
boundary conditions, but diversions are not computed.  The
formulation considers upstream and downstream flow control,
backwater, flow reversal, and in-line storage.  Surcharging and
pressure flow are not computed.

The model includes a design option for computing the sizes of
circular sewer pipes using an iterative approach.  The diameters
of the upstream inlet pipes are first computed for the peak
inflow.  The diameters of the remaining pipes of a branch are
then computed based on a kinematic wave routing procedure.  The
resulting diameters are then corrected based on the more exact
flow routing scheme using the dynamic wave equations.  This
approach will result in a hydraulically sound design but the
solution does not consider costs.

Computer Program

The computer program is written in PL/1 and assembler language
for an IBM 360/75 computer and consists of approximately 3000
statements.  The program and a user's manual are available from
the University of Illinois.  The program is written specifically
for IBM 360 and 370 systems and would require considerable re-
programming for use on other computers.  The program is run with
220k bytes of core memory, but could be run with as little as
100k for small sewerage networks.  A memory of at least 300k
bytes is recommended by the authors, however, for efficient
applications.
                                114

-------
Program output includes tables of depths, velocities and dis-
charges, Calcomp plots of depths and discharges at selected
points of the network, and line printer plots of the inflow
hydrographs at the sewer entrances.  Pipe sizes are printed
for the design option.

Evaluation

The University of Illinois Storm System Simulation Model includes
a fairly comprehensive formulation of free-surface flow in cir-
cular pipes.  It can simulate all nonsteady gradually varied
flow phenomena but does not include provisions for the simula-
tion of surcharging and pressure flow.  It cannot simulate
loops and diverging branches and diversion structures.

The explicit numerical solution of the Saint-Venant equations
for special junction and downstream outlet facilities is fairly
straightforward, but can be expected to require long computa-
tion times as a result of the short computational time steps
required to maintain numerical stability.  The solution techni-
que includes a special overlapping feature to model large sewer-
age systems in smaller segments, thus increasing the size of
a network that can be simulated with the available computer core
storage capacity.  A disadvantage of the method is that two
iterations are required to solve the dynamic wave equations for
the entire network.  The resulting increase in computer time is
offset somewhat, however,  by allowing different time steps in
different segments of the network.

A special feature of the model is its capability to dimension
circular sewers.  The method does not result in a least-cost
solution.  It is the only design method among the reviewed
models, however, which considers the complete dynamic wave
equations in the design procedure.   Consequently, it can be
expected to produce a more accurate sizing of pipe diameters
than other design methods based on more approximate routing
methods, provided satisfactory design inflows can be defined.
Although the model has the capability for continuous simulation,
the cost of its application for design purposes using several
years of records would be very high.

No application or verification of the model with real urban
catchment and sewerage system data is reported.  Testing of
the model with data from laboratory pipe flow experiments and
sensitivity analyses with hypothetical data indicate, however,
that high accuracy can be expected for the routing of flows
through converging networks of circular pipes.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS COMBINED SEWER CONTROL
SIMULATION MODEL

Summary

The University of Massachusetts Combined Sewer Control Simula-
tion Model simulates the time-varying runoff of several catch-
ments and a single string of circular sewers (Ray, 1972).  The
model computes surface runoff from impervious areas only using
hourly rainfall data which may be computed by a separate Markov
chain model.  The flow routing is accomplished with an implicit
solution of the dynamic wave equations which consider upstream
and downstream flow control, backwater and flow reversal.  Spec-
ial sewerage system facilities, such as diversion structures and
storage facilities, are not modeled.  The model is formulated
for continuous simulation but neglects evapotranspiration and
snow accumulation and melt.  Water quality, real-time control,
and design features are not included.

The University of Massachusetts Combined Sewer Control Simula-
tion Model includes the following features:

     1.  one rainfall record;

     2.  generation of synthetic hourly rainfall;

     3.  stormwater runoff from impervious areas of several
         catchments;

     4.  routing of combined wastewater flow through a single
         string of circular pipes; and

     5.  upstream and downstream flow control,  backwater,
         and flow reversal.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow from land use characteristics;

     2.  consideration of nonuniform distribution of
         catchment precipitation;

     3.  evapotranspiration;

     4.  snow accumulation and melt;

     5.  catchment moisture balance during periods of
         no precipitation;

     6.  stormwater runoff from pervious areas;
                              116

-------
     7.  flow routing in gutters;

     8.  flow routing in loops, converging and diverging
         branches;

     9.  noncircular closed conduits and open channels;

    10.  surcharging and pressure flow;

    11.  flow control and diversion structures;

    12.  pumping stations;

    13.  storage facilities;

    14.  water quality;

    15.  real-time control;

    16.  design; and

    17.  costs.

Methods

Dry-weather flow data can be input as a constant flow value for
each catchment.  One rainfall hyetograph can be input for the
entire catchment.  Hourly rainfall can be computed from a
Markov chain model using recorded rainfall data to generate
synthetic rainfall.  A sixth-order Markov chain determines the
lengths of dry and wet periods and a first-order Markov chain
computes hourly precipitation values during the wet periods.
The Markov chain model allows the evaluation of potential rain-
fall events which have the same statistical properties as the
recorded events but which occur in different sequences of wet
and dry periods.

Surface runoff from pervious areas is neglected.  For impervious
areas, it is assumed that all rain falling during an hour be-
comes surface runoff during the same hour after an initial loss
has been satisfied.  Moisture recovery during dry periods (such
as evapotranspiration) is not considered.  The model is formulated
for continuous simulation of periods up to one month but does not
consider snow accumulation and melt.

The combined wastewater flow is routed through a single string
of circular pipes with multiple inlets for the runoff from the
modeled subcatchments.  The flow routing is accomplished by an
implicit finite difference solution of the dynamic wave equations
for nonsteady gradually varied open channel flow (Saint-Venant
                              117

-------
equations).  The friction slope is defined by Manning's equation.
The solution considers upstream and downstream flow control,
backwater, and flow reversal.  The model, however, appears to
assume free outfall at the downstream end of the pipe string and
does not simulate special flow control and diversion structures.

Computer Program

The computer program is written for a CDC 3600 and consists of
two main programs.  The first is used to compute synthetic hourly
rainfall for each subcatchment from recorded rainfall and the
second routes the combined wastewater flow from several sub-
catchments through a single string of pipes.  Details of the
program, such as computer language, number of statements, and
estimates of computer running times, are not published.  The
computer program is available but a user's manual has not been
written.

Computer output includes rainfall intensities for each subcatch-
ment and discharges and depths at selected points of the pipe
string.

Evaluation

The University of Massachusetts Combined Sewer Control Simula-
tion Model is of interest since it includes the continuous genera-
tion of hourly synthetic rainfall and the only implicit solution
of the Saint-Venant equations for circular pipes among the gen-
erally available models.  These two features merit consideration
for incorporation into more comprehensive sewerage system models.

The implicit flow routing scheme would require extensive modifica-
tion and expansion, however, to include special boundary conditions
not considered in the present version.  To be more generally
applicable, a model would have to simulate a network of sewers,
diversion and flow control structures, and storage facilities.

The computation of runoff using hourly values restricts the model
to the evaluation of large systems where rainfall-runoff response
times are accordingly long.  The addition of a runoff model for •
pervious areas, the consideration of a time lag between the occur-
rence of rainfall and its resulting runoff and the simulation of
evapotranspiration and snow accumulation and melt would be necess-
ary to make the model a truly continuous simulation model.

The model has not been tested with real catchment data.  Testing
with hypothetical and experimental pipe data was inadequate to
indicate model accuracy.  The testing indicated, however, that
the matching of hourly runoff computations with the implicit
dynamic flow routing technique is practical, since the routing
                                118

-------
technique allows equally long time steps provided they do not
obscure significant runoff peaks of shorter duration.  This
limitation would make the model most useful for the simulation
of large catchments and sewer pipes, such as the lumping of
smaller subcatchments to compute inflows and routing only in
major trunk and interceptor sewers without the need to simulate
every block and lateral sewer.

WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERS STORMWATER MANAGEMEiSFT MODEL

Summary

The Stormwater Management Model of Water Resources Engineers,
Inc. (WRE) is a modified version of the Stormwater Management
Model of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  It simulates
the time-varying combined storm and sanitary runoff and waste-
water quality of several catchments and a sewer and open channel
network, including loops and converging and diverging branches
(Shubinski and Roesner, 1973).

The flow routing procedure is based on the dynamic wave equations
which consider backwater, flow reversal and both upstream and
downstream flow control.  A special formulation is built in for
the solution of surcharging and pressure flow.  The solution is
coupled with the hydraulic equations for flow control and diver-
sion structures considering both upstream and downstream flow
conditions.  The model simulates overflow storage basins but
not in-line storage facilities.

Both dry-weather and Stormwater quality are computed for six
constituents:  suspended solids, settleable solids, biochemical
oxygen demand, nitrogen, phosphorus, and oil and grease.  The
pollutants are routed through the sewer system but treatment
processes are not modeled.  A separate model for simulating
both flow and quality in receiving waters is available (Chen
and Orlob, 1972).

The model does not include real-time control and design features
and is limited to the simulation of single runoff events.  The
model has been released to the City of San Francisco and is in
the public domain.

The WRE Stormwater Management Model includes the following
features:

     1.  dry-weather flow and quality of several catchments
         from land use;

     2.  several rainfall records;

     3.  Stormwater runoff and quality for pervious and
         impervious areas of several catchments;


                              119

-------
     4.  six water quality constituents:  suspended solids,
         settleable solids, biochemical oxygen demand,
         nitrogen, phosphorus, and oil and grease;

     5.  BOD concentrations of stormwater runoff dependent
         on suspended and settleable solids runoff;

     6.  contribution of catchbasins to stormwater quality;

     7.  routing of combined wastewater flow and quality in
         a network of loops and converging and diverging
         branches;

     8.  five closed conduit cross-sections and trapezoidal
         open channel;

     9.  backwater, upstream and downstream flow control,
         flow reversal, surcharging, and pressure flow;

    10.  weir, gate, and orifice control and diversion
         structures considering both upstream and downstream
         flow conditions;

    11.  pumping stations; and

    12.  overflow storage basins.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  evapotranspiration;

     2.  snow accumulation and melt;

     3.  catchment moisture balance during periods of no
         precipitation;

     4.  flow routing in gutters;

     5.  water quality decay, reactions and interactions in
         the sewers and in storage;

     6.  real-time control;

     7.  design; and

     8.  costs.

Methods

Average values of dry-weather flow and concentrations of the six
modeled water quality constituents are provided as input data
                              120

-------
and varied to account for time and land use differences by
internal functions.  Five different land uses are considered.

Rainfall intensitites for several raingages can be provided to
compute runoff from several catchments.  Only one raingage can
be assigned to a particular subcatchment.  Runoff is computed
separately for pervious and impervious areas and begins after
all depression storage is filled.  Horton's equation is used to
compute the potential infiltration and the actual infiltration
depends on the depth of overland flow.  No adjustments are made
in the potential infiltration rates to account for changing soil
moisture conditions.  Other losses, such as evapotranspiration,
are not considered.

Overland flow is computed separately for pervious and impervious
areas using the kinematic wave equation with Manning's equation.
Special formulations are built into the program to eliminate
the need to provide input data for each urban lot or block.
Larger subcatchments can be defined and data are needed only to
describe the geometry and characteristics of an average block
in each subcatchment, the number of blocks per subcatchment,
and the average length of each subcatchment.  The formulation
not only simplifies data preparation, but distinguishes between
the overland flow length of lots or blocks  (which influences
infiltration)  and the subcatchment length (which may not influence
infiltration).

Flow routing in the sewers is accomplished with the dynamic wave
equations for nonsteady gradually varied open channel flow
(Saint-Venant equation).   Manning's equation defines the energy
gradient.   A special explicit finite difference solution is
used which is similar to the method first developed by WRE for
the EPA Dynamic Estuary Model (Shubinski et al., 1965). The
link-node approach solves the continuity equation at nodes
(junctions or sewer connections)  and the momentum equation along
links (sewer reaches).

The solution technique considers both upstream and downstream
flow control,  backwater,  and flow reversal and is linked with
hydraulic equations for special sewerage system elements.  This
gives the model the capability to simulate flows in converging
branch networks,  diverging branches,  and loops.  The flow rout-
ing is formulated for circular,  rectangular, horseshoe, basket-
handle,  and egg-shaped closed conduits and trapezoidal open
channels.

Explicit solutions of the dynamic wave equations are simpler to
program than implicit solutions  but must use very short compu-
tational time steps to remain numerically stable.  As a result,
explicit solutions are faster per time step, but require more
                              121

-------
time steps than implicit solutions to obtain the same level of
accuracy.

Special formulations are built into the model to simulate sur-
charging and pressure flow.  If surcharging occurs, the Hardy-
Cross method is used to compute the extent of surcharging and
pressure flow in the sewerage network.

Hydraulic equations are built into the model and linked with
the flow routing formulation to simulate flow control and diver-
sion structures consisting of weirs,  gates, and orifices and
considering both upstream and downstream flow control.  Up to
three-stage pumping stations can be simulated with the pumping
rates specified by rule curves.  Overflow storage basins can
be simulated but details on their mathematical representation
were not available. Inline storage basins cannot be simulated.

The stormwater quality formulations are similar to the EPA model.
Stormwater runoff concentrations are computed for each modeled
constituent as a function of the runoff rate and account for
the rate of dirt and dust accumulation between rainstorms and
for street cleaning practices.  A special formulation is included
to compute the pollutant contribution of catchbasins.  The
equations contain many empirical coefficients which have been
derived from very limited data and may not be generally applic-
able.  Many of the coefficients are internal to the program and
programming changes are necessary to calibrate them with measured
data.

Stormwater and dry-weather quality are combined at sewer inlets
and routed through the sewers according to the flow velocity
of the sewage.  Dispersion, sedimentation and scour,  water qual-
ity decay, reactions and interactions are not modeled.  Numerical
dispersion may be expected as a result of the finite difference
solution of the transport equation.  The model does not compute
wastewater treatment.

Real-time control, design, and cost computations are not included
in the model.  Although a separate receiving water flow and qual-
ity model is used by WRE, it is not interfaced with the Storm-
water Management Model.

Computer Program

The computer program consists of three main programs which are
run sequentially.  Model documentation does not describe details
of the computer program.  The program is available.

Program output includes tables of discharges and water quality
for the modeled subcatchments, tables of stage, velocities,
                              122

-------
discharges, concentrations and mass flow rates for selected
sewer system elements, and line printer plots of stage, dis-
charge and concentrations.

Evaluation

The Stormwater Management Model is the only model which includes
a very complete formulation of sewerage system hydraulics and
the simulation of wastewater quality.  It can simulate all non-
steady gradually varied flow phenomena, surcharging and pressure
flow, and the hydraulic performance of special sewerage system
facilities for complex sewerage systems including loops and con-
verging and diverging branches.  The explicit solution of the
dynamic wave equation requires longer computer times than simpler
routing schemes, however, and is limited to severe stability
conditions with respect to the length of the computational time
step.

The model would be useful primarily where the consideration of
backwater, downstream flow control, flow reversal, surcharging
and flow control and diversion structures are important features
of the sewerage system assessment.  If these features are not
present or are insignificant, simpler models requiring less
computer time can be used.

The model can be used only for the simulation of single runoff
events since it does not include provisions for either catchment
moisture or water quality accounting between rainstorms.  A
model limitation is the absence of formulations for treatment
plants to assess the impact of sewerage system effluents on
receiving water quality.

The ability to read in typical urban block data, rather than
detailed data, for each modeled block is a major advantage.
This, coupled with the distinction between pervious area length
and catchment length, is expected to give better accuracy for
coarser catchment discretizations than is provided by models
which do not make this distinction.

Model verification with data from the 19 ha (47 acres) Northwood
catchment in Baltimore, Maryland and the 1540 ha  (3800 acres)
Selby Street catchment in San Francisco shows good agreement
between measured and computed runoff.  Water quality predictions
for the Selby Street catchment are of the right order of magni-
tude.

WILSEY AND HAM URBAN WATERSHED SYSTEM

Summary

The Wilsey and Ham Urban Watershed System computes the time-
                              123

-------
varying stormwater runoff of several catchments and a converging
branch sewerage network (Amorocho, 1972).   The model does not
include provisions for dry-weather flow, water quality, and real-
time control.  A design option sizes circular sewer pipes for
peak flows.  The model is limited to the simulation of single
runoff events.  This is a proprietary model and not all details
of the model formulations are available.

The Wilsey and Ham Urban Watershed System includes the following
features:

     1.  one rainfall record;

     2.  stormwater runoff from impervious and pervious
         areas of several catchments;

     3.  flow routing in gutters;

     4.  routing of stormwater runoff in a converging
         network of circular sewers; and

     5.  design of circular sewers.

The model does not include the following features:

     1.  dry-weather flow;

     2.  consideration of nonuniform distribution of
         catchment precipitation;

     3.  evapotranspiration;

     4.  snow accumulation and melt;

     5.  catchment moisture balance during periods
         of no precipitation;

     6.  flow routing in loops and diverging branches;

     7.  noncircular closed conduits and open channels;

     8.  downstream flow control, backwater, flow reversal,
         surcharging and pressure flow;

     9.  flow control and diversion structures;

    10.  pumping stations;

    11.  storage facilities;

    12.  water quality;
                              124

-------
    13.  real-time control; and

    14.  costs.

Methods

The model does not consider dry-weather flow and computes only
stormwater runoff from one rainfall record for the entire catch-
ment.  Losses are subtracted to account for interception and
infiltration from rainfall on the impervious and pervious areas
but details of the loss computations are not available.  The
model includes a special feature which allows the definition
of typical urban subcatchment elements by appropriate data des-
cribing their physical characteristics.  This greatly reduces the
amount of data preparation since it eliminates repetition of
data for subcatchment elements of similar characteristics.

Overland flow is routed to the gutters by an approximation of
the kinematic wave equation.  A kinematic wave formulation is
also used for flow routing in standard shapes of gutters.  Com-
puter time is saved by performing these computations only for
the basic catchment elements, rather than all catchment elements,
and combining the resulting runoff hydrographs in the proper
sequences as defined by their occurrence in the actual catchment.

Flow routing in a converging system of circular sewers is accom-
plished by the kinematic wave equation with Manning's equation.
A special feature routes catchbasin inflow exceeding the free
flow capacity of the sewer in the gutter to the next downstream
catchbasin.  In the design mode, the sewer pipe diameter is
increased to accomodate the entire inflow under free flow con-
ditions.  The model does not compute backwater, flow reversal,
surcharging and pressure flow.  Costs are not considered in the
design.

Computer Program

Details of the computer program and estimates of running times
are not available.   The program is written in two versions to
run on a CDC 6600 computer and on Tymshare's XDS 940 system.
The program is available under a special use agreement.

Computer output includes discharges at selected points of the
network and pipe diameters for the design option.

Evaluation

Although sufficient details are not available on the mathematical
formulations of the model, it appears to be an efficient model
for the evaluation and design of small storm sewerage networks
                             125

-------
for which the limitations of the flow routing scheme are accept-
able.  The program can be expected to be very efficient both
with respect to input data preparation and computer running
times due to its special features for the standardization of
typical subcatchment elements.

The model has been applied extensively by Wilsey and Ham for
storm sewerage system evaluations and design.  Testing of the
model with real catchment data to evaluate its accuracy has not
been reported.

OTHER MODELS

Documentation was received too late for a detailed review of
several models.  A brief description of each model is given
below, model documentation is listed in Section IX - References,
and addresses of the model developers are given in Appendix A -
List of Sources of Computer Programs.

Chicago Runoff and Pollution Model

The Chicago Runoff and Pollution Model was developed by the
City of Chicago Department of Public Works for the continuous
simulation of the time-varying runoff and water quality in
combined sewerage systems consisting of several catchments and
a converging branch sewer and open channel network  (City of
Chicago, 1972).  The model can simulate periods of several
years using 1-hour time steps.  The model can simulate sur-
charging and diversion structures.   Water quality simulations
include the computation of biochemical oxygen demand and sus-
pended solids as functions of storm runoff, the consideration
of dry-weather flow and quality (provided as input data), the
computation of water quality improvement by treatment (as
tabular function of flow), and catchment water quality balance
between rainstorms.  The model does not include real-time con-
trol, design, and cost computations.  The rainfall-runoff and
flow routing portions of the model use methods included in the
computer version of the Chicago Hydrograph method.  A separate
model is available for nonsteady receiving water flow and
quality simulation.

The computer program is written in Fortran IV for IBM 1130 and
IBM 370/158 computers.  The program and a draft user's manual
is available.  The program has been tested and applied.

CH2M-HJ11 Wastewater Collection System Analysis Model

The CH2M-Hill Wastewater Collection System Analysis Model
simulates the time-varying runoff in a combined sewerage sys-
tem consisting of several catchments and a converging branch
                             126

-------
sewer and open channel network with special structures such
as diversions and pumping stations  (O'Neal et al., 1974).  The
model is based on formulations of the U.S. Environmental Pro-
tection Agency Stormwater Management Model, but was adapted to
run on small computers.  Present versions operate on an IBM
1130 and a DEC PDP-10.  Water quality and receiving water
simulation is not included at present.  The model is being
tested with data from the City of Portland, Oregon.

Dorsch Consult Quantity-Quality Simulation Program

The Dorsch Consult Quantity-Quality Simulation Program is
intended for single event or continuous simulation of the
time-varying runoff and water quality in combined sewerage
systems consisting of several catchments and a closed conduit
and open channel network including loops and converging and
diverging branches (Geiger, 1975).  Both runoff and water
quality concentrations from catchment areas are calculated
by a unit hydrograph method, considering different land uses
including residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed.  The
flow routing through the sewerage network is based on the
dynamic wave equations.  Statistical analyses are incorporated
to provide monthly and annual flow and pollutant duration
curves for any node in the network.  Four conservative water
quality constituents can be routed.

Catchment runoff quality formulations are currently for bio-
chemical oxygen demand and settleable solids.  Formulations
are also planned for carbonaceous oxygen demand, suspended
solids, coliform bacteria, chloride, and nutrients.  The model
does not include real-time control, design and cost compu-
tations.

The computer program is written in Fortran IV for a UNIVAC 1108
computer and accepts both English and metric units of measure-
ments.  The program has been tested and applied.  This is a
proprietary program of Dorsch Consult Ingenieurgesellschaft
mbH of Munich, Germany.  A North American office is maintained
in Toronto, Canada.

A more detailed description provided by Dorsch Consult is
included in Appendix E - Additional Model Test Results.  It
also includes water quality routing results for the hypothe-
tical pipe data described in Section VI - Test Data.

Illinois State Water Survey Urban Drainage Area Simulator

The Illinois State Water Survey Urban Drainage Area Simulator
was developed by the Illinois State Water Survey for single-
event simulation of time-varying runoff in combined sewerage
                             127

-------
systems consisting of several catchments and a converging
sewer and open channel network (Terstriep and Stall, 1974).
The model is based on a computer version of the British Road
Research Laboratory Model, but computes also the runoff from
pervious areas and includes the option to either size circular
sewers or retention basins.  The design option is based on
hydraulic considerations alone and does not consider costs.
The model does not include real-time control and water quality
computations.

The computer program is written in Fortran IV for an IBM 360/75
computer.  It has been tested extensively.  The program and a
user's manual are available.

Norwegian Institute for Water Research Sewerage System Models

The Norwegian Institute for Water Research developed four com-
puter models for the evaluation of flows and water quality in
combined sewerage systems:  a sewer network, treatment plant,
sludge treatment, and economic model  (Lindholm, 1972 and 1974).

The sewer network model computes the single-event or continuous
(to one year)  runoff and biochemical oxygen demand from several
catchments and routes them through a converging branch sewerage
system with diversions, pumping stations and storage facilities
The program computes also the sizes of sewers required to pre-
vent surcharging, and the cost of the entire sewerage network.

The sewage treatment plant model computes the removal of BOD
and phosphorus for five unit processes, which can be arranged
in different configurations, using empirical relationships.
The model is run in conjunction with the sewer network model
to determine optimal combinations of storage and treatment
using a trial-and-error procedure.

Capital and operating costs are computed in the sewer network
and treatment plant model and the separate cost-analysis model.
Detailed descriptions of the sludge treatment and cost-analysis
model and information on model testing with measured data were
not available.  The computer programs are written in Fortran
IV for a UNIVAC 1108 computer.

Queen's University Urban Runoff Model

The Queen's University Urban Runoff Model simulates the time-
varying runoff in a combined sewerage system consisting of
several catchments and a converging sewerage network (Watt,
1975).  Runoff is computed from rainfall with the unit-hydro-
graph method, and routed through the sewers with a simple
time-offset method using Manning's equation.  Special sewerage
                             128

-------
system structures and water quality are not simulated.  The
model does not include real-time control, design, and cost
features.  The program has been tested with real catchment
data.

University of Nebraska Urban Hydrologic Simulator

The University of Nebraska Urban Hydrologic Simulator computes
the time-varying runoff from several catchments and routes them
through a converging closed conduit network (Surkan, 1973;
and Surkan and Kelton, 1974).  The model assumes that storm
runoff is a constant fraction of the rainfall, and that pipe
flow velocities are a linear function of distance only.  Special
sewerage network structures, water quality, real-time control,
design, and cost features are not included.  The model has been
tested with real catchment data.  The program is written in
Fortran IV.  The program and user's instructions are available.

INTRODUCTION

For purposes of comparing model performance, numerical testing
of the seven most comprehensive models was conducted in this
study using both hypothetical and real catchment data.  The
purpose of the testing was to show that different models with
different mathematical formulations for the same phenomena will
produce differing results given the same input data.  The test-
ing consequently provides useful information to the model user
by indicating ranges of applicability for each model.  Most of
the models reviewed were tested and verified by the model
developers and subsequent model users on very limited data
because sufficiently complete and reliable urban catchment,
precipitation, runoff, and water quality data were unavailable.
Quite commonly, only portions of a model were tested on measured
data.  Sometimes different portions of a model were tested with
data from different catchments since comprehensive data were
not available from a single catchment, especially when both
flow and quality data were required, and only in rare instances
were two or more models tested on the same data.  Testing with
the hypothetical data shows the sensitivity of each model to
model parameter variations, while testing with real catchment
data provides information on model accuracy as well.

The reviewed models require widely varying detail with respect
to the spatial discretization of data describing the catchment
and sewerage system.  Some models require extremely detailed
information (such as sizes and slopes of individual roofs,
driveways, lawns, gutters, etc.) while others can lump areas
of several hundred acres into single subcatchments.  Great
differences exist also between the models with respect to the
required time discretization for precipitation, runoff and
water quality data and simulation time steps.  Some models
require time steps of less than one minute to satisfy numerical
stability conditions, while others can be run with hourly or
daily data.

The model testing with real catchment data required the collec-
tion of available data on urban catchment and sewer system
characteristics, precipitation, runoff,  and wastewater quality.
A large number of data sources were investigated and data for
several U.S. cities were collected.  Selected data were digi-
tized in the computer formats required by the models being
tested.  It became rather difficult, however, to find real
catchment data which provided sufficient detail to satisfy the
input data requirements of all models.  Additional difficulties
which were encountered included missing information on physical
characteristics of the subcatchments and sewerage systems,
uncertainties in watershed infiltration characteristics and
                              131

moisture conditions, insufficient documentation of the instru-
mentation and data analysis techniques used during the measure-
ment periods, and uncertainties in the accuracy of the measured
rainfall, runoff, and water quality data.

Great reluctance was expressed by model developers, therefore,
to run real catchment data whose accuracy was uncertain and
over whose collection they had no control.  The use of hypo-
thetical data eliminated these uncertainties.  Consequently,
the model testing concentrated on hypothetical data.  All
seven models were tested with the same set of hypothetical data
but only the Battelle, Chicago Flow Simulation, EPA Stormwater
Management and Dorsch models were also tested on the same set
of real catchment data.

The numerical testing concentrated on the most common features
of the selected models, the rainfall-runoff simulations and the
flow and quality routing.  Special features such as snowmelt,
the simulation of treatment processes, real-time control and
design aspects were not tested.  The hypothetical data testing
was applied separately to the rainfall-runoff formulations and
the routing procedures to examine the response of the formula-
tions of each phenomenon to physical parameter variations.
Testing with the real catchment data served the objectives of
testing the interactions of the runoff computations for several
catchments and the routing of flows and quality through a sewer
network.

This section lists the selected test data.  The results of test-
ing seven models by computer runs with these data are described
in the following section.

HYPOTHETICAL DATA

The hypothetical data runs were not intended to portray accuracy
but to determine the sensitivity of the models to parameter
variations.  The data were also selected with the objective of
determining limits of applicability of the models, such as the
ability to handle surcharging and backwater conditions.  In
addition, the hypothetical data runs provided information on
the cost of running each model.

Two independent sets of hypothetical data were used.  One set
tests the rainfall-runoff relationship for various catchment
conditions.  The second set tests the sewer flow routing  (and
water quality routing, if applicable) for various combinations
of pipe parameters.
                              132

Hypothetical Catchment Data

The data selected for the hypothetical catchment tests represent
two different catchment sizes, two orientations of each catchment,
ten combinations of physical catchment characteristics, two
different antecedent conditions and four different rainstorms.
This makes a total of 320 data combinations.

The selected catchment dimensions are given in Table 6.  The
drainage areas of 0.465 and 4.65 ha (1.115 and 11.5 acres)
represent a range of common sizes generally used by the tested
models to simulate urban subcatchments.  Although some models
use smaller discretizations and others can simulate several
hundred acres as a single subcatchment, these sizes are repre-
sentative of most model requirements.  Rectangular shapes were
selected since most models require this approximation for the
overland flow routing on irregularly shaped catchments.

Length-to-width ratios of 1:2 and 2:1, respectively, were
selected for the catchments.  These represented two orientations
of the flow (as shown in Figure 1) to test the effect of the
catchment shape approximation on the shape of the runoff hydro-
graph.  The dimensions were 48.2 x 96.4 m (158 x 316 ft) for
the small catchments and 152.4 x 304.8 m (500 x 1000 ft) for
the large catchments.

The physical catchment characteristics selected are listed in
Table 7.  Five different ratios of pervious and impervious areas
were chosen, ranging from completely pervious to completely
impervious (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 percent imperviousness),
to test the effect of correctly estimating this catchment
property on the runoff hydrographs and to test the relative
importance of the contribution of runoff from pervious and

of 0.1 and 10 percent, representing the common range of catchment
slopes, were chosen to test the effect of overland flow routing
formulations on the runoff hydrograph.  Average values of 0.025
and 0.25 for Manning's n were used for the impervious and per-
vious areas, respectively.  The influence of variations in
catchment surface roughness was not tested.

Two initial conditions, representing initially dry and wet catch-
ment moisture conditions, were tested.  Infiltration rates and
surface retention (depression) storage values are given in
Tables 7 and 8.  The values correspond to data requirements
for Horton's infiltration equation, which is used by most models,
and the definition of surface water storage in depressions which

does not become surface runoff.  The selected potential infiltra
tion rates for pervious areas are 50.8 mm/hr (2.0 in./hr)  for
dry conditions and 12.7 mm/hr  (0.5 in./hr)  for saturated con-
ditions.  An infiltration decay rate of 0.001 sec   was chosen.
Zero infiltration was.assumed for impervious areas.  The reten-
tion storage capacity is 5.1 mm (0.20 in.)  for pervious and
1.3 mm  (0.05 in.)  for impervious areas under dry conditions.

A difficulty arises in defining the retention storage capacity
for saturated conditions as a result of model limitations.
Ideally, the models should define the potential storage capacity
independent of moisture conditions, but allow input data defin-
ing the depth of moisture in the depressions at the beginning
of the simulation.  Most models, however, do not make this
distinction and a zero retention storage capacity has to be
defined for initially saturated conditions.  This, however,
introduces errors into the infiltration and overland flow com-
putations in those models which consider the actual depth of
water in the depressions for these computations.

The variations in slope, imperviousness and initial conditions
result in 20 subcatchments for each size and orientation.   The
data combinations for each set of 20 subcatchments are given
in Table 9.  Each subcatchment was assumed to drain into an
independent manhole where the input hydrograph of each sub-
catchment was obtained.  Gutter routing was not considered.
Figure 2 shows two arrangements of the sets of 20 subcatchments
for simulation purposes.  Deviations from this arrangement were
required, however, to meet specific model requirements and
limitations.

Four hypothetical rainstorms were used to test the response of
the selected models to different durations and intensities of
rainfall.  One rainstorm represented a constant rainfall of
25.4 mm/hr  (1.0 in./hr) intensity and 2 hr duration; the remain-
ing three were triangular rainstorms of 1,  2, and 4 hr duration
and 101.6, 50.8, and 25.4 mm/hr (4, 2, and 1 in./hr) peak inten-
sity, respectively.  The four rainstorms had a total rainfall
of 50.8 mm  (2 in.).  A summary of the rainfall data is presented
in Table 10 and the rainfall intensity and cumulative rainfall
hyetographs are shown in Figures 3 and 4.  A time step of
5 minutes was suggested for the simulation runs and both inten-
sities and cumulative values are tabulated in Tables 11 to 14
in response to different input requirements by different models.
The effect of different time discretizations was not tested.

Hypothetical Pipe Data

The data selected for the hypothetical pipe tests represent
two different pipe diameters and three invert slopes.  In addi-
tion, two types of upstream and downstream boundary conditions
were specified.  The first assumes free inflow into the upstream
end of the pipes and free outfall at the downstream end.  The
second assumes a storage tank at the upstream end of the pipe
and a diversion structure at the downstream end.  Four inflow
hydrographs, each with three inflow quality constituents, were
specified for the flow and water quality routing.  This makes
a total of 48 data combinations.

The hypothetical pipe dimensions are given in Table 15.  The
pipe diameters of 0.61 and 3.66 m (2 and 12 ft)  represent circu-
lar pipe sizes normally encountered in sewerage networks which
may be analyzed by dynamic mathematical models.   Three slopes
(0.05, 0.5 and 5 percent) were selected to represent average
and extreme values.  Only one value of surface roughness repre-
sented by a Manning's n of 0.01 was tested.  The pipe is 3048 m
(10,000 ft)  long to provide sufficient length to adequately
show the effect of different routing schemes on the hydrograph
shapes.

The selected pipe boundary conditions are summarized in Table 16
and a schematic for the second boundary condition (upstream
storage tank and downstream regulator)  is shown in Figure 5.  The
axis of the pipe is at the elevation of the bottom of the storage
tank;  that is,  the bottom half of the pipe continues through the
storage tank.  The diameter of the storage tank is twice that of
the pipe.  The depth of the storage tank is 3.35 m (11 ft)  for
the small pipe and 7.92 m (26 ft)  for the large pipe.  The top
of the tank is assumed to be at ground level.

The diversion structure represents a typical overflow regulator.
It consists of an overflow weir with a height equal to the pipe
radius and a dry-weather orifice outlet with a diameter equal
to the pipe radius.   The elevation of the orifice invert is at
Table 15.

      Table 16.  HYPOTHETICAL PIPE BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Boundary Condition #1

   Upstream boundary:  free inflow without time delay or
   energy loss.

   Downstream boundary:  free outfall.

Boundary Condition #2

   Upstream boundary:  open circular storage tank with the
   following characteristics:

     Tank diameter = twice pipe diameter
     Tank height   = 3.35 m for 0.61 m pipe
                     (11 ft for 2 ft pipe)
     Tank height   = 7.92 m for 3.66 m pipe
                     (26 ft for 12 ft pipe)
     Elevation of
      tank bottom  = elevation of pipe axis (bottom half of
                     pipe continues through storage tank)
     Elevation of
      tank top     = ground elevation

   Assume orifice discharge from tank into pipe according to
   orifice equation  (or equivalent):

                  Q  =  C A (2g H)1/2                     (1)

   where

     Q = orifice discharge in m /sec or cfs

     C = 0.60 = orifice discharge coefficient
         (non-dimensional)

     A = orifice flow area (cross sectional area of
         flow through orifice) in m2 or ft2

     g = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/sec2
         (32.2 ft/sec2)

     H = depth of water in tank in m or ft
         above centroid of orifice flow area
                             146

     Weir height      = 1/2 pipe diameter
     Orifice diameter = 1/2 pipe diameter
     Elevation of
       orifice invert = elevation of pipe invert

   Assume orifice discharge according to orifice equation
   (or equivalent)  as defined by equation (1) above.

   Assume weir discharge according to weir equation (or
   equivalent):

the elevation of the pipe invert.  The orifice is located
directly upstream of the weir.  Free outfall is assumed for
the flow passing the orifice and weir.  Provided the tested
models included the computation of diversions and the appro-
priate hydraulic equations, the orifice discharge was defined
by the common orifice discharge equation (1) and the weir dis-
charge by the common weir equation (2) as given in Table 16.
The orifice discharge coefficient was assumed to be 0.60 and
the weir discharge coefficient 1.66 ml/2/sec (3.00 ft^/^/sec).
The flow area in equation (2)  is defined as the actual cross-
sectional area of flow above the weir crest given by the flow
depth and the circular shape of the pipe.  Most models, however,
approximate the flow area by a rectangle of width equal to the
width of the weir crest.

The dimensions of the storage tanks and diversion structures
were selected in a manner which would produce complete filling
of the tank and overflow at the top of the tank for certain
inflow hydrographs.  If overflow occurred,  it was assumed that
the excess flow was lost and did not return to the pipe after
recession of the water level below the tank top.

The variations in pipe diameter, slope, and boundary conditions
result in 12 different pipe combinations which were arranged
for simulation purposes as shown in Figure 6.  Deviations from
this arrangement were required, however, to meet specific model
requirements and limitations.   A summary of hypothetical pipe
capacities for each combination, including maximum, full,
90 percent and 9 percent of full pipe flow, is given in Table 17,
The discharge values were computed with Manning's equation.  The
data combinations for each pipe are summarized in Table 18.

Four inflow hydrograph shapes were selected to test the various
model routing schemes.  They represent a continuous constant
inflow equal to 90 percent of full pipe flow and three triangu-
lar inflow hydrographs of 1, 2, and 4 hr durations.  The tri-
angular inflow hydrographs have a peak flow of 90 percent of
full pipe flow and a constant flow before and after the tri-
angular inflow equal to 10 percent of peak flow (9 percent of
full flow).  These inflow hydrographs are summarized in
Table 19 and the hydrograph shapes are shown in Figure 7.  The
beginning time of the triangular inflow hydrographs was set at
10:00 a.m. for models which require the input of clock times.

Three conservative inflow water quality constituents were
specified for each inflow hydrograph to test the water quality
routing schemes of the models.  The testing of the water quality
routing assumed pure convection.  Hydrodynamic dispersion,
decay, reactions and interactions were not tested.  The inflow
qualities were assumed to represent a continuous constant con-
centration of 100 mg/1, a triangular shape with a peak concen-
tration of 100 mg/1 and zero concentration before and after

the triangular shape, and an inverted triangular shape with a
minimum of 0 mg/1 and a constant concentration of 100 mg/1
before and after the triangular shape.  The durations of the
triangular concentration shapes are identical to the triangular
inflow hydrographs.  A 2-hr duration was specified for the
continuous inflow hydrographs.  These inflow concentration
shapes are summarized in Table 20 and shown in Figure 8.  A
time step of 5 minutes was suggested for the simulation runs.
The hypothetical inflow hydrograph values for each pipe are
tabulated at these time intervals in Tables 21 to 24 and the
hypothetical inflow concentrations in Tables 25 to 27.  The
effect of different time discretizations was not tested.

It should be noted that some models allow the input of hourly
values of dry-weather flow and quality and provide for linear
interpolation at specified constant time intervals.  This
greatly simplifies the input of the hypothetical inflow hydro-
graphs and concentrations.

REAL CATCHMENT DATA

An attempt was made to select three real catchments with drain-
age areas covering three orders of magnitude which had reliable
concurrent rainfall, runoff, and water quality data.  Since no
small catchment was found which also had quality data, the
Oakdale Avenue catchment in Chicago, Illinois, with a drainage
area of 5.22 ha (12.9 acres) was selected because it had
reliable rainfall and runoff data.  An intermediate size catch-
ment was selected which had rainfall, runoff, and water quality
data, but it was subsequently discovered that the data were
unreliable.  It was then too late in the study to find sub-
stitute data.  The Bloody Run catchment in Cincinnati, Ohio,
with a drainage area of 964 ha (2380 acres)  was selected to
represent a large catchment.  It has rainfall, runoff, and
water quality data. Difficulties were encountered, however,
in ascertaining the reliability of the data, most of which had
to be scaled from plotted hyetographs, hydrographs, and water
quality graphs since only small portions were available in
tabular form.

Description of the Oakdale Avenue Catchment

The Oakdale Avenue catchment is located in an urban area about
6 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, Illinois,  (Tucker, 1968).
This catchment is 5.22 ha (12.9 acres) in size  (approximately
2-1/2 blocks long by one block wide) and consists entirely of
residential lots and adjoining streets (Figure 9).  A break-
down of the extent of pervious and impervious surfaces in the
drainage area is given in Table 28.

The backbone of the drainage system consists of a 76-cm  (30-in.)
diameter reinforced concrete combined sewer that drains east
along Oakdale Avenue for about two blocks.  The existing 76-cm
(30-in.) combined sewer was installed in 1958 and replaced a
smaller combined sewer of inadequate stormwater capacity.  The
76-cm (30-in.) combined sewer drains into a 3.20 m x 3.20 m
(10.5 ft x 10.5 ft) concrete combined trunk sewer that drains
north toward the North Branch of the Chicago River.

As shown in Figure 10, the catchment was divided into 13 sub-
catchments for the runoff simulations.  Each of the 13 subcatch-
ments has its individual inlet manhole.  In Figure 10, the ele-
ments of the sewer system (subcatchments, pipes, and manholes)
are numbered for identification.  Table 29 gives physical
characteristics of the subcatchments, which vary in size from
0.33 ha  (0.82 acres) to 0.65 ha  (1.60 acres).  The impervious-
ness of the subcatchments varies from 39.5 to 56.5 percent.
Ground slopes vary from 0.37 to 0.90 percent.  Manning's rough-
ness coefficient was assumed to be 0.012 or 0.013 for the imper-
vious areas and 0.350 for the pervious areas.

Map of  Oakdale Avenue catchment  showing
subcatchments and sewer  system elements

-------
As shown in Table 30, the maximum infiltration, the minimum
infiltration, and the decay rate of infiltration were assumed
to be 63.5 mm/hr (2.50 in./hr), 11.4 mm/hr (0.45 in./hr), and
0.00115 sec" , respectively.  The overall volumes of retention
storage on the pervious and the impervious areas were assumed
to be 5.08 mm (0.20 in.)  and 2.03 mm (0.08 in.), respectively.

As shown in Table 31, the diameters of the sewer pipes vary
from 25 cm (10 in.)  to 76 cm (30 in.).   The pipe slopes vary
from 0.30 to 4.20 percent.  The Manning coefficients of these
pipes were assumed to be 0.012.

Monitoring System of the Oakdale Avenue Catchment

The rainfall-runoff measuring and recording systems were
installed in conjunction with the new 76-cm (30-in.) combined
sewer operation in 1959.   Runoff has been measured with a
Simplex 76-cm (30-in.) type "S" parabolic flume housed in a
vault located on the corner of Lamon and Oakdale Avenues.
Rainfall measurements have been conducted using a tipping
bucket raingage which is located about one block north of
the drainage area on top of Falconer Elementary School.  No
runoff water quality measurements were conducted.

The raingage and a transmitter in the flow measuring vault are
connected to remote recorders through leased telephone lines.
The data instrumentation, transmission, and recording systems
operate only during periods of rainfall.  The system is put
into operation when the first 0.25 mm (0.01 in.) of rain tips
the bucket in the raingage.

Rainfall and Runoff Data of the Oakdale Avenue Catchment

Rainfall and runoff in the Oakdale Avenue catchment have been
periodically measured and recorded since 1957 by the Chicago
Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering.  Storm data
considered reasonably reliable by the Bureau of Engineering
are identified in Table 32.  Detailed rainfall and runoff data
for these storms have been reported by Tucker (1968).

In the present study, the rainstorms on the following four
dates were selected to test several methods of computing urban
runoff quantity:  May 19, 1959; July 2, 1960;  July 26, 1960;
and August 2, 1963.   These rainstorms were selected since they
represent a typical range of possible combinations of rainfall
intensities and durations.

-------
The storm of May 19, 1959, (Figure 11 and Table 33)  had high
intensity rainfall of a short duration followed by low inten-
sity rainfall of a long duration.  This storm generated runoff
with one good peak.  The storm of July 2, 1960, (Figure 12 and
Table 34) had lighter long-duration rainfall followed by
heavier short-duration rainfall.  Runoff produced by this storm
had three peaks and the last peak was the largest.  Since the
flume was flooded at the flow measuring location during the
last high-intensity rainfall, the recession curve of the last
peak was not recorded.

The storm of July 26, 1960,  (Figure 13 and Table 35)  had rela-
tively light long-duration rainfall which resulted in successive
small peaks of runoff.  The storm of August 2, 1963,  (Figure 14
and Table 36) had two high intensity, short duration rainfalls
which produced two successive medium peaks of runoff.

Description of the Bloody Run Catchment

The Bloody Run catchment is located in the northwest section of
Cincinnati, Ohio.  The catchment is an urban drainage area
comprised of 964 ha  (2380 acres) of rolling terrain and diversi-
fied land use, drained by a combined sewerage system designed
for a 10-year frequency (University of Cincinnati, 1970).
Topographically,  the area is characterized by two main valleys
running approximately east and west.  Most of the commercial
and industrial sections are located in these valleys.  The
residential housing is found on the ridges.  This watershed
has an average population of about 30 persons/ha  (12 persons/
acre)  and about 45 percent of its area is pervious.  Approxi-
mately 55 percent of the area is residential; 17 percent com-
mercial; 5 percent industrial; and 22 percent open land and
parks.  A more detailed division of the basin into different
land uses is presented in Table 37 and Figure 15.

Sewer, topographical and zoning maps were used to divide the
Bloody Run catchment into 37 subcatchments for the runoff simu-
lations.  It was  intended that each area should include one
major type of land use and incorporate an individual inlet
manhole (University of Cincinnati, 1970).  The resulting divi-
sion,  together with the sewer system, is shown in Figure 16.
The subcatchments and the elements of the sewer system (pipes
and manholes)  are numbered for identification.  Physical
characteristics of these subcatchments are presented in Table 38.
The subcatchments varied in size from 7.25 ha (17.9 acres)  to
101.3 ha (250.2 acres); the imperviousness varied from 4.9 to
81.4 percent,  and the ground slopes from 1.2 to 11.3 percent.
Manning's roughness coefficients were assumed to be 0.013 for
impervious areas  and 0.250 for the pervious areas.

Table 39 indicates estimates of soil characteristics for this
catchment.  The maximum infiltration, the minimum infiltration
and the decay rate of infiltration were assumed to be 72.2 mm/hr
(3.00 in./hr),  13.2 mm/hr (0.52 in./hr)  and 0.00113 sec"1.   The
depths of retention storage were assumed to be 4.67 mm (0.184 in.)
for pervious areas and 1.57 mm (0.062 in.) for impervious areas.

The Bloody Run sewer network is a combined system with a main
trunk line that splits into three branches following the valleys
of the drainage basin, as shown in Figure 17.  The map shows
the layout of all sewers with dimensions greater than 69 cm
(27 in.).  The sewer outfall is located at the southwestern tip
of the catchment and discharges into an interceptor leading to
the Mill Creek Wastwater Treatment Plant.  Overflows from storms
are discharged directly into Mill Creek through an open channel.
Manholes are located wherever there is a significant change in
pipe size, direction or slope.  Each of the 37 subcatchments
has its individual inlet manhole.

-------
The sizes, slopes and lengths of the sewer pipes are tabulated
in Table 40.  This sewer system utilizes circular pipes with
69 cm (27 in.) to 229 cm (90 in.) diameters, semi-circular
pipes with widths and heights, respectively, of 3.05 m  (10 ft)
by 2.44 m (8 ft), 3.35 m (11 ft) by 2.74 m  (9 ft) and 3.66 m
(12 ft)  by 2.74 m (9 ft), and a rectangular pipe 4.57 m  (15 ft)
wide by 3.05 m (10 ft) high.  The pipe slopes vary from 0.28  to
5.70 percent.  Manning's roughness coefficients of these pipes
were assumed to be 0.013.  Cross sections were available for
three of the noncircular sewers  (Figure 18).

Monitoring System of the Bloody Run Catchment

Three raingages manufactured by the Belfort Instrument Company
were used to measure and record automatically the accumulative
mass curve of each rain.  The raingages consisted of a weighing
mechanism in a prebalanced collection system which caused a pen
to trace changes on a chart.  The charts recorded up to 152 mra
(6 in.)  of total rainfall.  Figure 17 shows the locations of
the three raingages:  the Laidlaw and Ridge raingages are located
immediately southwest and southeast of the study area, respec-
tively,  and the Woodward raingage is located in the center of
the western half of the Bloody Run catchment.

Runoff for the Bloody Run catchment was measured at five stations
along the sewer network, as shown in Figure 17.  These stations,
which are named the Outlet, Longview #1, Longview #2, Bank #1,
and Bank #2 monitoring stations, recorded runoff over a 3-year
period from 1970 through 1972.  Samples for water quality
analysis were taken during the stormwater runoff.  The flow-
measuring apparatus consisted of a compressor, a manometer,
and a Taylor pressure type recorder.  The recorder measured
the pressure due to the depth and velocity of water flowing
in the sewer by bubbling air through a long tube inserted into
the water.  Manning's equation was used to compute discharge
from the measured pressure.

Rainfall, Runoff, and Wastewater Quality Data of the
Bloody Run Catchment

Four rainstorms were selected for model testing from the records
of rainfall, runoff, and wastewater quality for approximately
50 rainstorms.  Detailed data for these storms have been reported
by the University of Cincinnati  (1970 and 1972).  The four storms
were selected on the basis of three major criteria:  1)  exist-
ence of raingage records for all three raingages; 2)  reliability
of the collected data as indicated by the University of
Cincinnati Urban Runoff Project; and 3)  variation in hydrograph
shape (intensity and duration of runoff quantity) at the Outlet
monitoring station.

The dates of the selected rainstorms are November 9, 1970;
November 14, 1970; May 13, 1971; and August 25 and 26, 1971.
Table 41 lists the numbers of tables and figures which present
the measured rainfall, runoff and wastewater quality data for
tne selected storms.  As indicated by the blank spaces in
Table 41, not all parameters were measured at all stations
for all four storms.  Communication with the University of
Cincinnati indicated, however, that these storms represent
a fair compromise between completeness of data, reliability
of data, and variety of rainfall and runoff shapes and
durations.

The storm of November 9, 1970,  (Figures 19-21 and Tables 42-45)
had two light, short-duration rainfalls interspersed by a long
dry period.  The first rainfall was relatively larger than the
second one, but the runoff produced by this storm shows two
small peaks of about equal magnitude.  Suspended solids and
BOD were measured for about 1 hour during the early part of
the storm.  Water quality data are not available for this
storm at the Outlet monitoring station.

The storm of November 14, 1970,  (Figures 22-24 and Tables 46-49)
had relatively light and constant rainfall over a long duration.
The runoff at the Outlet monitoring station had three large
peaks, with irregular forms in the early half of the storm.
The three peaks were followed by lower and fairly constant
runoff which gradually decreased to the dry weather discharge.
Suspended solids and BOD were measured for about 1 hour during
the middle of the storm period.

The storm of May 13, 1971, (Figures 25-27 and Tables 50-53)shows
two rainfall periods, the first heavier than the second.  The
rainfall pattern is similar to the storm of November 9, 1970,
but the May 13, 1971 rainfall lasted longer and produced higher
intensities.  The time interval between the two rainfall periods
for this storm was also shorter than for the November 9, 1970
storm.  The resulting runoff at the Outlet monitoring station
shows one large peak during the early part of the storm and a
small peak near the end of the storm.  Suspended solids and BOD
were measured for about 1-1/2 hours, starting approximately
1 hour after the beginning of the rainfall.

The storm of August 25 and 26, 1971, (Figures 28-30 and Tables
54-57) had short duration but very intensive rainfalls which
occurred intermittently over a 10-hour period.  The runoff was
measured only during the first 3 or 4 hours of the storm,
reflecting only the first and second rainfall bursts.  The
runoff at the Outlet monitoring station shows two large peaks

INTRODUCTION

The following seven models were tested by computer runs with
the hypothetical catchment and pipe data described in the
previous section:

     1.  Battelle Urban Wastewater Management Model (BNW)

     2.  Dorsch Consult Hydrograph-Volume Method (DORSCH)

     3.  Environmental Protection Agency Stormwater Management
         Model  (SWMM)

     4.  Massachusetts Institute of Technology Urban Watershed
         Model  (MIT)

     5.  Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago
         Flow Simulation Program (FSP)

     6.  SOGREAH Looped Sewer Model (SOGREAH)

     7.  Water Resources Engineers Stormwater Management
         Model  (WRE)

The Hydrocomp Simulation Program was also to be included in
the testing, but Hydrocomp International declined to partici-
pate.

Four of the models were also tested by computer runs with real
catchment data.  The BNW, FSP, SWMM, and DORSCH models were
tested with data from the Oakdale Avenue catchment in Chicago,
Illinois, and the BNW, FSP, and SWMM models were tested with
data from the Bloody Run catchment in Cincinnati, Ohio.  The
proprietary models were not included in this effort due to
their developers doubts about the completeness and accuracy of
the real catchment data.

The BNW model was run on a DEC PDP-9 computer at Battelle-
Northwest in Richland, Washington.  The SWMM and FSP were run
on a CDC 6400 computer at Battelie-Columbus, Ohio, by remote
terminal from Battelle-Northwest.  This required the conver-
sion of the original IBM versions of these two programs into
CDC versions.

The four proprietary models were run by the respective firms
with data supplied by Battelle-Northwest.  The DORSCH model
was run by Dorsch-Consult on a Univac 1108 computer in Munich,
Germany; the MIT model was run by Resource Analysis on an
IBM 370 computer in Boston, Massachusetts; the SOGREAH model
was run by SOGREAH on an IBM 360 computer in Grenoble, France;
                              243

-------
and the WRE model was run by Water Resources Engineers on a
Univac 1108 computer in San Francisco, California.

The original intent was to run all models on the same computer
to compare running times and costs.  This was not possible for
the proprietary models or for the BNW model, which is formu-
lated for a small real-time process computer and would have
required major reprogramming to adapt it to a larger computer.
The test results, however, are still useful for comparing
model sensitivity to parameter variations  (using hypothetical
data) and for comparing model accuracy (using real catchment
data).  Although running times cannot be compared directly
among all the models, orders of magnitude can be indicated and
fairly reliable cost comparisons can be made.

HYPOTHETICAL CATCHMENT TESTS

Hypothetical catchment data tests were performed for two dif-
ferent catchment sizes, two catchment slopes, two orientations
of each catchment with respect to the direction of surface
flow, five ratios of pervious to impervious areas, two dif-
ferent initial catchment moisture conditions, and four dif-
erent rainstorms, representing a total of 320 data combinations,
The effects of different catchment surface roughness coeffi-
cients and of different time discretizations on computed run-
off were not tested.

A time step of 5 minutes was suggested for the catchment run-
off simulations and was actually used for the BNW, FSP, SWMM,
DORSCH, and WRE models.  The SOGREAH model used a time step
of 1 minute.  The MIT model sets the time step internally
as a function of catchment characteristics but independent of
rainstorm characteristics.  In the tests it ranged from 2 to
16 minutes for the different runs.  The time step remains
constant, however, for any particular runoff computation.

The results of the catchment runoff simulations for all seven
models are summarized in Tables 58 to 64, which present peak
runoffs and times for each of the  320 catchment/rainfall com-
binations.  The times of peak runoff are not tabulated for the
constant rainstorm since equilibrium runoff conditions were
computed for most data combinations.

It was not possible to plot all computed runoff hydrographs,
but plots are presented in Figures 31 to 42 for the runoff
from the 2-hr triangular storm with initially dry catchment
moisture conditions and the direction of flow parallel to the
short length of the rectangular catchments.  The plots show
the effect on catchment runoff of  changes  in catchment slope
and imperviousness.

Model Comparison

Comparable runoff hydrographs are computed by the SWMM, DORSCH,
MIT, and WRE models for most catchment data combinations and
for many catchment data combinations those computed by the BNW
and SOGREAH models are comparable.  Peak runoffs computed by
the BNW and SOGREAH models are up to several times higher than
those by the SWMM, DORSCH, MIT, and WRE models, and the dif-
ferences between the peak runoff values and times computed by
these two groups of models increase with increasing catchment
size and decreasing catchment slope, imperviousness and ini-
tial moisture condition.  The six models compute comparable
runoff hydrographs for most fully impervious conditions.  The
runoff hydrographs computed by the FSP are different from
these six models for most catchment data combinations.

The results of the SWMM, DORSCH, MIT, and WRE models are sim-
ilar since all use the Horton equation for infiltration and
the kinematic wave equation for overland flow.  Infiltration
is computed from overland flow depth and consequently is
affected by the runoff delay and storage of the catchment
surface.  For the large catchment, the DORSCH and MIT models
vary slightly from the SWMM and WRE models, particularly for
the fully pervious conditions, which may be caused by dif-
ferent solution techniques for the infiltration/overland flow
computations and by differences in the retention storage formu-
lations.

The results of the BNW and SOGREAH models are surprisingly
similar, although the BNW model uses the Holtan equation for
infiltration and the unit hydrograph method for overland flow
and the SOGREAH model uses the Horton equation for infiltration
and the Muskingum method for overland flow.  Both models com-
pute infiltration from rainfall directly rather than the
actual depth of water on the catchment surface.  This and
the different overland flow routing methods may explain
the differences in computed runoff hydrographs between the
two groups.  Although the fully impervious cases do not vary
significantly, for some fully pervious data combinations
the peak runoffs predicted by the BNW and SOGREAH models are
over 5 times greater than those predicted by the SWMM, DORSCH,
MIT, and WRE models.

The FSP defines initial moisture conditions internally, so
consequently differences between dry and wet initial catch-
ment moisture conditions cannot be considered.  Due to pro-
gram constraints on numerical values of partial results of
the catchment runoff computations, consideration of certain
combinations of catchment size, shape, slope, and pervious-
ness is limited.  Consequently, for the small catchment data
                              268

combinations, the percent imperviousness has no influence on
the computed peak runoff for the partially to fully pervious
catchments, the peak runoff from the short catchment is lower
than from the long catchment and the runoff from the steep
slope is higher from the pervious than from the impervious
areas.  For the large catchment data combinations, the peak
runoff is lower from the fully impervious area than from the
fully pervious area.  Only the peak runoff values for the
large catchment with the flat slope are similar to the other
models; and these values are lower than the other model values.
It appears, therefore, that caution should be used in applying
the model to small catchments (i.e., with drainage areas of
0.5 ha [1 acre] or less).  Criteria could probably be developed
for combinations of catchment size, slope, length, and per-
viousness which would define the applicability of the model.

Examination of the entire computer output indicates that the
initial moisture condition has a definite effect on the shape
of the computed runoff hydrographs, even for cases in which
the peak runoff is not affected.  For the dry initial con-
ditions,  the peak runoff occurs later and higher rainfall
losses during the early part of the rainfall result in lower
runoff values until the catchment is saturated and the runoff
approaches the values of the wet initial conditions.

Evaluation of model sensitivity to variations in catchment
characteristics indicates that catchment slope, shape, and
initial moisture conditions have no effect on the computed
peak runoff for all fully impervious cases.  Initial catch-
ment moisture conditions become more significant as the per-
viousness and overland flow time increase  (i.e., with lower
slopes and longer catchments).  The catchment length becomes
more significant with higher perviousness and lower initial
moisture condition.  The effect of perviousness is significant
for all cases, with differences in peak runoffs between fully
pervious and fully impervious catchments being the greatest
for the long and flat catchments.

Two-Hour Triangular Rainstorm

The runoff computed by each of the seven tested models is
plotted for twelve catchment data combinations in Figures 31
to 42.  The models were separated into two groups for plotting
purposes to prevent obscuring of model differences by too many
overlapping lines.  Each plot includes the runoff computed by
the SWMM and three other models.

The plotted runoff is for the 2-hr triangular storm which has
a peak rainfall intensity of 50.8 mm/hr (2 in./hr).  The first
six figures show runoff from a 0.465 ha (1.15 acre) rectan-
gular catchment and the second six figures from a 4.65 ha
                              269

(11.5 acre) rectangular catchment.  The catchment length in
the direction of surface flow is 48.2 m (158 ft) for the
small and 152 m (500 ft) for the large catchment.  The catch-
ment length perpendicular to the direction of surface flow is
96.4 m (316 ft) for the small and 305 m (1000 ft) for the
large catchment.  A Manning's roughness coefficient of 0.25
is assumed for the pervious area and 0.025 for the impervious
area of each catchment.  Initially dry catchment moisture
conditions are assumed.  For pervious areas, the maximum
infiltration rate is 50.8 mm/hr (2.0 in./hr), the minimum
infiltration rate is 12.7 mm/hr (0.5 in./hr), and the infil-
tration decay rate is 0.001 sec"-'- as defined by Horton's
infiltration equation.  The retention storage capacity for
pervious areas is 5.1 mm (0.20 in.)  and for impervious areas
1.3 mm (0.05 in.).  The plotted examples are for different
combinations of catchment slope (0.1 and 10 percent) and
impervious areas  (0, 50, and 100 percent).

Differences in the mathematical formulations for infiltration
produced considerable variation among the models in the com-
puted runoff for the catchments with 0 percent imperviousness
(Figures 31, 34, 37, and 40).  The differences are particularly
great for the 0.1 percent slope (Figures 31 and 37). For both
slopes, runoff computed by the BNW and SOGREAH models is
considerably higher than for the other models.  One reason
appears to be that Horton's equation, as used by most models,
neglects catchment moisture conditions in computing potential
infiltration.  When the ground becomes rapidly saturated,
Horton's equation overestimates infiltration and underestimates
surface runoff.  For steeper slopes where runoff occurs more
rapidly or for low intensity rain this effect is less pro-
nounced, since less water is available for infiltration.

Although Holtan's equation, as used by the BNW model, accounts
for changes in soil moisture, it introduces a different ap-
proximation by computing potential infiltration from rainfall,
rather than the depth of water on the catchment.  It there-
fore underestimates infiltration for flat slopes where runoff
is sufficiently slow, and rainfall occurring during one time
step continues to contribute to infiltration during succeeding
time steps.

The FSP assumes that a constant fraction of the rain falling
on the pervious areas of sewered catchments runs off during
the same time step; it neglects catchment slope, shape, and
roughness.  For the FSP simulations presented here, however,
nonsewered catchment runoff was specified, which computes
losses from rainfall with an empirical equation accounting
for soil moisture changes and evaporation and considers catch-
ment shape and slope.  For the flat slope  (Figures  31 and 37) ,
                              270

-------
the FSP computes an extremely low and slow response and the
runoff hydrograph does not recede during the 6-hour simulation
period.

Differences in the computed results are introduced also by the
overland flow routing procedures.  The BNW model uses a unit
hydrograph approach; the SOGREAH model uses the Muskingum
method; the SWMM, DORSCH, MIT, and WRE models use kinematic
wave formulations; and the FSP uses a linear storage routing
which considers catchment shape and slope but neglects surface
roughness.

The effect of these differences can be seen by comparing the
results of the runoff computations for the 100 percent im-
pervious areas, since for these runs rainfall losses were
considered negligible and the computed differences are pri-
marily the result of differences in the overland flow formu-
lations.  As Figures 33, 36, 39, and 42 show, the results of
all models except the FSP are quite comparable for the steep
slope  (Figures 33 and 36) and show only small differences for
the flat slope (Figures 39 and 42).  The FSP assumes that a
constant fraction of the overland flow storage on nonsewered
areas runs off during each time step.  The resulting runoff
hydrograph is much flatter and longer than the other model
hydrographs.  Since the FSP formulation neglects catchment
shape, slope, and surface roughness for impervious areas, the
computed runoff hydrographs for the flat and steep slopes are
the same.

The combined effects of the formulations for infiltration and
overland flow is illustrated in Figures 32, 35, 38, and 41 for
50 percent imperviousness.  Again, comparable runoff is com-
puted by the BNW and SOGREAH models on the one hand and the
SWMM, DORSCH, MIT, and WRE models on the other hand.  The dif-
ferences in computed runoff between the two groups, both in
magnitude and timing, are smaller than for the fully pervious
case and larger than for the fully impervious case.  The peak
runoff computed by the FSP is less than half that of the other
models for the small flat catchment.  The PSP produces more
comparable runoff hydrographs for the other cases, but the
computed runoff volume is slightly larger, and the computed
peaks are slightly higher and later for the small steep and
large flat catchment and average for the steep large catch-
ment.

The selected examples accentuate model differences.  As can
be seen in a later section, many of these differences are
damped in actual catchment applications as a result of the
smoothing effect of more random rainfall sequences and the
routing over many small subcatchments of various sizes, slopes
and surface characteristics.

HYPOTHETICAL PIPE DATA TESTS

Hypothetical pipe data tests were performed for two different
pipe diameters, three invert slopes, two types of upstream
and downstream boundary conditions, four inflow hydrographs,
and three inflow quality graphs, representing a total of 48
data combinations.  The effect of different pipe roughness
coefficients and different time discretizations on computed
pipe outflow hydrographs and quality graphs was not tested.

A time step of 5 minutes was suggested for the pipe flow and
water quality routing simulations.  This time step was actually
used by the BNW, FSP, SWMM, and MIT models.  The DORSCH model
used a time step of 2.5 minutes for the 1-hr triangular inflow
and 5-minute time steps for the other three inflows.  The
SOGREAH model used a time step of 5 minutes for the constant
inflow; for the other three inflows, the time steps varied
according to changes in flow, with 5-minute steps at the
beginning and end of the runoff gradually decreasing to
1 minute near the peaks of the hydrographs.

For these six models the length of time step is selected only
on the basis of accuracy, while for the WRE model, it is
limited by numerical stability criteria.  Consequently, dif-
ferent time steps were used by the WRE model for the dif-
ferent data combinations but the time step was held constant
for any particular routing computation.  Different time steps
were used for flow and water quality routing, which were
computed by separate computer runs and have different stability
criteria.  The time steps for the flow routing ranged from  12
seconds for the large pipe with the steep slope to 60 seconds
for the small pipe with the flat slope.  The time step for
the water quality routing varied from 24 seconds to 120 sec-
onds .

The results of the pipe routing simulations of all seven models
are summarized in Tables 65 to 71.  These present magnitudes
and times of peak outflows, weir overflows and outflow con-
centrations for each of the 48 pipe/inflow combinations.  For
cases with upstream storage and downstream diversion structures,
the tabulated peak outflow represents the sum of the weir and
orifice discharges.  The times of the peak outflows and out-
flow concentrations are not tabulated for the constant con-
tinuous inflow and inflow concentrations.  Variations from  the
constant values for these cases are the result of numerical
instabilities which are generally oscillatory in nature, and
consequently model comparisons are meaningful between the
magnitudes, but not the times, of the peaks.

It was not possible to plot all computed outflow hydrographs
and quality graphs; however, plots are presented in Figures
43 to  66 for the  outflow hydrographs and quality graphs from
                              272

the 2-hr triangular inflow and all three inflow qualities for
the free inflow and outflow conditions.  Outflow hydrographs
are plotted for all seven tested models and outflow concen-
tration graphs are plotted for the five models which include
water quality simulations (SWMM, BNW, DORSCH, SOGREAH, and
WRE).   The results of the water quality routing by the DORSCH
and WRE models, however, were received too late to be incor-
porated and evaluated in this section.  They are presented in
Appendix E as submitted by these two firms.

As indicated in the tables,  output is not listed for all data
combinations due to various model limitations.  The SWMM
terminates execution and the routed hydrograph is not printed
if the storage tank overflows.  This occurs for most inflows
into the small pipe and for the steep large pipe for the
second boundary condition.

The FSP model does not include diversion formulations and con-
sequently could not simulate the pipes with the upstream
storage and downstream diversion structure.

The BNW and FSP models could not simulate the 1-hr triangular
inflow data combinations.  To read inflow hydrographs for the
pipe flow routing directly without computing them from rain-
fall,  the data can be provided only as hourly dry-weather flow
and concentration values, which are then interpolated linearly
by the models for smaller time steps.  Consequently, the 1-hr
triangular inflow could not be read since it has a peak at
the 1/2 hr.  The linear interpolation for time steps of less
than 1 hr was added to the FSP by Battelle in order to perform
the tests.

Model Comparison

Comparable outflow hydrographs are computed for the free in-
flow and outflow conditions by all models except the FSP which
shows considerable differences from the other models as a
result of its linear storage routing scheme  (Tables 65 and
67).  No significant patterns can be detected either from
inspection of the complete outflow hydrographs or from the
magnitudes and times of the peak outflows between the SWMM,
BNW, DORSCH, MIT, SOGREAH, and WRE models, which would in-
dicate that the models which solve the dynamic wave equations
(DORSCH, SOGREAH, and WRE) show similar results while the models
which solve the kinematic wave equation (SWMM, BNW, MIT) show
different results.  It appears that the numerical solution tech-
niques employed by the models introduce enough numerical dis-
persion to obscure differences in the flow phenomena considered
                             296

-------
by the dynamic and kinematic wave equation for the simple flow
conditions defined for the first boundary condition.  Greater
differences between the kinematic and dynamic wave solution
could be expected, however, in complex networks with loops and
significant backwater and flow reversal.

Although no definite patterns of relative model performance are
evident, the differences among model results are generally
greatest for the small flat pipe and decrease with increasing
pipe diameter and slope.  Up to 25 percent differences in the
magnitude and 15 minutes in the time of the peak outflow can
be observed for the flat pipes, while the corresponding dif-
ferences are generally less than 15 percent and 5 minutes for
the steep pipes.

An exception is the FSP model, which computes much lower and
later (over 1 hr) peaks for the small flat pipe and comparable
peaks generally more than 45 minutes later for most other pipe
data combinations.  Only the 4-hr triangular inflows into the
medium slope pipes produce comparable peak times.

Considerably greater differences among the models occur for the
cases with upstream storage and downstream diversion (Tables
65, 66,  and 67).  The differences in the total outflow hydro-
graphs among models are comparable to those for the free inflow
and outflow cases as long as the pipe does not surcharge and
the storage tank does not overflow.

The discharge from a full upstream storage tank into the pipe,
assuming free surface flow in the pipe, is 1.484 m3/sec (52.40
cfs)  for the small pipe and 87.24 m3/sec (3080.5 cfs) for the
large pipe if the pipe axis intersects the bottom of the tank.
The values are 1.421 m3/sec (50.17 cfs) and 78.64 m3/sec (2776.7
cfs), respectively, if the pipe invert intersects the bottom
of the tank.

Surcharging occurs when the inflow to the diversion structure
exceeds the maximum combined discharge capacity of the orifice
and weir under free-surface, near-full pipe flow conditions.
This is 0.264 m3/sec (9.33 cfs) for the small pipe and 23.32
m3/sec  (823.3 cfs) for the large pipe as computed from the
standard orifice and weir equations, neglecting the effect of
the velocity of approach.  This implies that both the small
and large pipes are expected to surcharge for the medium and
steep slopes, since the peak inflows are several times these
values.

Considerable differences exist among the models, however, in
the diversion even if the total outflows are similar (Table
66).   Since all but the SWMM use similar weir and orifice
                               297

-------
equations for the diversion computations, the differences can
be explained only by differences in computing the upstream
heads for the weir and orifice and interfacing of the routing
with the diversion equations.  Sufficient information is not
available to explain differences in the proprietary models.

The SWMM model terminates execution if it computes an over-
flowing storage tank.  The BNW, DORSCH, MIT, and WRE models do
not terminate execution but assume free orifice flow from the
upstream tank into the pipe and neglect the effect of the sur-
charging on the orifice discharge.  The SOGREAH model con-
siders the entire system as surcharged and computes much
higher inflow from the tank into the pipe and (consequently
much higher downstream outflow).  This results in peak out-
flows which vary with the inflow hydrograph for the SOGREAH
model, but the same peak outflows regardless of hydrograph
shape for the other five models for the same slope and diame-
ter.  Differences in the times of the peak discharges between
the models are generally less than 15 minutes and do not seem
to be affected by surcharging.

Comparable routed water quality concentrations are computed by
the BNW and SOGREAH models (Tables 68, 69, 70, and 71).  As
usual, the differences between model results are greater for
small pipes and low slopes.  The BNW shows earlier and higher
maxima and lower minima than the SWMM and SOGREAH models due
to its characteristic solution of the kinematic wave equation
for the flow routing and the use of the kinematic wave celer-
ity, rather than flow velocity, for pollutant routing.  The
differences become smaller as the pipe diameter and slope in-
crease .

Two-Hour Triangular Inflow

The outflow hydrographs computed by each of the seven tested
models are plotted for six pipe data combinations in Figures
43 to 48.  The models were separated into two groups for plot-
ting the outflow hydrographs to prevent too many overlapping
lines from obscuring model differences.  Each plot includes
the outflow computed by the SWMM and three other models.  The
corresponding outflow concentrations computed by the SWMM, BNW,
and SOGREAH models are plotted in Figures 49 to 66.

The plotted outflow is for the 2-hr triangular inflow which
has a peak flow rate of 90 percent of full pipe flow as com-
puted by Manning's equation.  A constant flow rate of 10 per-
cent of the peak inflow rate  (9 percent of full pipe flow)
precedes and follows the constant inflow.  Three conservative
inflow water quality constituents were specified for each in-
flow hydrograph:  a constant continuous concentration of 100
                              298

-------
mg/1, a triangular concentration distribution with 100 mg/1
maximum concentration and 0 mg/1 before and after the tri-
angular distribution, and inverted triangular concentration
distribution with an 0 mg/1 minimum concentration and 100 mg/1
before and after the triangular distribution.

The plots are for 0.61 m  (2 ft) and 3.66 m  (12 ft) diameter
circular pipes, each 3048 m (10,000 ft) long with a Manning's
roughness coefficient of 0.01 and with 0.05, 0.5, and 5 per-
cent slopes.  Free upstream inflow and downstream outflow are
assumed for the selected examples.  The plots consequently
show the effects of differences in pipe diameter and slope on
the routed hydrographs and water quality graphs.

The SWMM, FSP, and MIT models are not formulated to start the
simulation with nonzero initial flow conditions in the pipe,
consequently the outflow hydrographs begin with a value of
zero flow, rather than the constant 10 percent of the peak
flow which was specified for the period preceding the tri-
angular inflow.  The simulation was started several time steps
prior to the beginning of the triangular hydrographs for all
models to compute initial conditions in the pipes for the
initially constant inflows.

The overall shape of the computed outflow hydrographs, in-
cluding the magnitudes and times of the peak outflows, are
quite similar for all models except the FSP.  The linear
storage routing scheme of the FSP produces outflow hydrographs
with long time lags between the beginning of the rising por-
tion of the inflow hydrograph and the first outflow.  For
the small pipe, the outflow hydrograph rises and falls very
slowly, resulting in a 25 percent lower and 1 hr later
peak than the other models (Figure 43).  As the slope in-
creases, the computed outflow hydrographs rise and fall more
rapidly.  For the medium slope, the shape and peak of the
outflow hydrograph are similar to the other models but the
peak occurs about 45 minutes later (Figure 44).  For the steep
slope, a very steeply rising outflow hydrograph reaches a con-
stant outflow equal to the maximum inflow for a short time and
then drops very rapidly following cessation of the triangular
inflow  (Figure 45).

For the large flat pipe, the hydrograph shape is similar to
the other models, the peak discharge is approximately the
same as for the SOGREAH model, which is about 5 percent to 10
percent higher than the other models, but it occurs about 40
to 50 minutes later than all other models (Figure 46).  For
the medium and steep slope, a sharply rising and falling out-
flow hydrograph is computed with a fairly constant outflow
equal to the maximum inflow for a short period  (Figures 47
                              299

-------
and 48).  In large steep pipes, the linear storage routing
scheme apparently stores the inflow for some time before any
outflow occurs and then dumps it at a high rate until the
inflow ceases.

The outflow hydrographs of the remaining six models are very
similar in shape and in the magnitude and time of the peak
discharge.  Differences in the magnitude of the peak discharge
among these models for the plotted data combinations are less
than 20 percent for the flat slope and less than 5 percent for
the steep slope.  The differences are greatest for the flat
slope and decrease as the slope increases.  Differences in
the times of the peak discharges are less than 15 minutes for
the flat slope and less than 5 minutes for the steep slope.
This indicates that both the kinematic wave and dynamic wave
formulations can be expected to compute similar routed hydro-
graphs for flows ranging from sub- to supercritical conditions,
provided backwater effects, surcharging, and flow reversal do
not occur or are insignificant.

No consistent pattern in the differences of performance is
apparent for the DORSCH, SOGREAH, and WRE models, which use
the dynamic wave equations, or for the SWMM, BNW, and MIT
models, which use the kinematic wave equation for the conduit
flow routing.  Numerical dispersion caused by the different
numerical solution techniques obscures differences in the
basic routing equations for the first boundary condition.

Plots of outflow concentrations are shown only for the SWMM,
BNW, and SOGREAH models.  Concentration plots for the DORSCH
and WRE models were received too late to be incorporated with
the other plots.  They are shown in Appendix E.  The other
tested models do not include water quality formulations.  All
plotted outflow concentrations are the result of routing the
specified inflow concentrations with the 2-hr triangular
inflow hydrographs.

The BNW and SOGREAH models route the constant inflow concen-
tration without modification for both pipe sizes and all three
slopes  (Figures 49 to 54).  The SWMM assumes a zero initial
condition and consequently computes a rising limb which reaches
the constant concentration value after the start of the inflow
hydrograph.  The lag corresponds to the travel time through
the pipe.  The computed outflow concentration then fluctuates
about the constant concentration value until they coincide
several hours after the beginning of the triangular inflow.

Similarly shaped outflow concentration graphs are computed by
the SWMM, BNW, and SOGREAH model for the triangular inflow
concentration for the medium and steep slopes  (Figures 55 to
                             300

-------
60).   The differences increase, however, with decreasing pipe
size and slope.  The differences are still small for the
large flat pipe but become significant for the small flat
slope.  The BNW model computes an earlier peak with a higher
maximum for the upright triangular concentration and a lower
minimum for the inverted triangular concentration than do the
SWMM and SOGREAH models, since its mass routing uses the
kinematic wave celerity rather than the water flow velocity
to facilitate interfacing with the real-time control optimi-
zation of the model.  The results show, however, that the ef-
fect of this approximation is insignificant for large pipes,
such as trunk and interceptor sewers for which the model was
designed.

The SWMM shows the same phenomenon with the routed inverted
triangular concentrations as with the routed constant con-
centration (Figures 61 to 66).  The computed outflow concen-
trations start first with zero rather than 100 mg/1, then rise
for some time until they reach a peak and finally follow the
shape of the inverted concentration graphs.  This implies
that for practical applications, the user has to estimate the
longest flow travel time from an upstream inflow point to the
downstream outflow point and initiate the simulation of a
corresponding time period earlier to initialize the flows and
concentrations in the system, and not use the values computed
for this initial period.

REAL CATCHMENT DATA TESTS

Real catchment data tests were performed with data from the
Oakdale catchment in Chicago, Illinois and the Bloody Run
catchment in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Four runoff events of the
Oakdale catchment were simulated.  The initial testing raised
certain doubts with respect to the completeness and accuracy
of the Bloody Run data, and consequently tests were completed
for only two of the four storms reported in Section VI.

Oakdale Avenue Catchment Simulations

The Oakdale Avenue catchment is located in an urban area about
6 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, Illinois.  It has a
drainage area of 5.22 ha (12.9 acres, approximately 2-1/2
blocks long by 1 block wide) and consists entirely of residen-
tial lots and adjoining streets.

The DORSCH model simulations were performed by Drosch Consult
and the SWMM, FSP, and BNW model simulations by Battelle.
The same spatial discretization of catchment and sewer elements
was used by all four models.  Runoff was routed directly from
the catchment into the sewers without routing it separately
                              301

-------
through the gutters except the Dorsch model.  The same em-
pirical model coefficients were used by all models for pheno-
mena being modeled by the same equations.

The maximum infiltration, the minimum infiltration, and the
decay rate of infiltration were assumed to be 63.5 mm/hr
(2.50 in./hr), 11.4 mm/hr (0.45 in./hr), and 0.00115 sec"1,
respectively.  The overall depths of retention storage on the
pervious and the impervious areas were assumed to be 5.08 mm
(0.20 in.) and 2.03 mm (0.08 in.), respectively.  For storms
which had to be simulated in two parts, the initial infil-
tration rate for the second part was set equal to the minimum
infiltration rate.

The rainstorms on the following four dates were selected to
test the catchment runoff and sewer routing formulations of
the four models:  May 19, 1959; July 2, 1960; July 26, 1960;
and August 2, 1963.  These rainstorms represent a typical
range of possible combinations of rainfall intensities and
durations.

The model results are summarized in Table 72, which lists the
magnitudes and times of the peak discharges for each storm.

Figures 67 to 82 show comparisons between the measured runoff
and the runoff computed by the BNW, SWMM, FSP, and DORSCH
models.  Each computed hydrograph was plotted in a separate
figure to better show the variation from the measured runoff.
Plotting of all computed runoff hydrographs for a given storm
in the same figure may provide better comparisons among models,
but preliminary plots showed that the lines would be too close
together to adequately distinguish among the different model
hydrographs.  Runoff periods lasting longer than 2 hours and
15 minutes are plotted on more than one figure, with a 15-
minute overlap between successive figures.

The measured rainfall and runoff data were reported at 1-
minute time intervals.  The same interval was chosen for the
SWMM and DORSCH model simulations.  Due to model limitations,
5-minute time intervals were used for the BNW model and FSP.
The BNW model is restricted to a minimum time step of 2
minutes and a maximum of 56 time steps.  The 5-minute time
interval was selected to reduce the need for dividing a long
runoff period into too many segments for the simulation.  The
FSP requires input data and simulation for a minimum of one
day and is restricted to a minimum time step of 5 minutes.

Figures 67 to 82 indicate that the SWMM, BNW, and DORSCH
models can be expected to produce satisfactory runoff hydro-
graphs in most cases for small catchments similar to the
                              302

-------
Oakdale Avenue catchment.  The FSP, however, does not produce
satisfactory results, which confirms the model developers'
original intent to use the model only for the continuous simu-
lation of runoff from large, mostly unsewered catchments
(greater than 1.3 km2 or 0.5 mi2) using 1-hr time steps.  FSP
formulations are not adequate to accurately simulate runoff
from small sewered areas requiring short time steps.  The
model's assumption of immediate runoff from sewered areas pro-
duces peaks which are generally too high and occur too early.
The assumption that all rain falling on impervious areas and
a constant fraction falling on pervious areas becomes runoff
generally produces also a higher volume of runoff than measured.

The use of 5-minute time steps for the BNW model results in
smoothing of the peaks and valleys which appear in the measured
values.  Exceptions are the second peaks of the July 2, 1960
(Figure 72) and August 2, 1963 (Figure 80) storms which show
computed peaks and runoff volumes higher than the measured
values.  This appears to be the result of the model's lack of
formulations for catchment moisture balance between storms.
The model does not compute the recovery of depression storage
and infiltration capacity during dry periods, and consequently
computes insufficient rainfall losses for the second runoff
period of successive storms.

Similar overestimates of the second peaks and runoff volumes
are observed for the SWMM for the August 2, 1963 storm  (Figure
79) for the same reasons.  The second peak and runoff volume
of the storm of July 2,  1960  (Figure 71) are underestimated,
however.  This storm had to be split into two simulation per-
iods since it was too long for a single run.  The underestim-
ate occurs although the  infiltration value was set to the
minimum for the second period.

Dorsch Consult simulated only the major runoff periods of
each storm and split longer runoff periods into separate simu-
lation periods.  This generally produces satisfactory results,
with the exception of overestimating the second peak and run-
off volume of the storm of August 2, 1963  (Figure 82).  This
is probably caused by uncertain initial moisture conditions
at the beginning of the  second runoff period, since the model
does not simulate a catchment moisture balance during dry
periods  (with the exception of the recovery of depression
storage on pervious areas).

The numerical model testing indicates that equally satisfac-
tory results can be obtained for the SWMM, DORSCH, and BNW
models for small catchments and sewerage systems where back-

approximations in the computation of catchment moisture con-
ditions and uncertainties with respect to initial catchment
moisture conditions, particularly for long intermittent storm
periods.

Among these four models, the DORSCH model would be most appli-
cable for simulating backwater, downstream flow control, sur-
charging and pressure flow.  The SWMM or BNW model could be
the choice if these phenomena were not important.  The BNW
model has considerable flexibility in that it can model only
selected phenomena, if desired, and can suppress flow routing,
water quality computations, real-time control optimization,
and design optimization as specified by the user.  The BNW
model, however, does not simulate water quality from land use,
unit treatment processes, or receiving water flow and quality,
and has not been tested as extensively as the SWMM.

The FSP is suited primarily for the continuous simulation of
large nonsewered catchments.  Its general applicability may
be limited, however, by considerable simplification of the
catchment hydrology and channel flow routing and by the need
for modifications of model coefficients which are internal
to the computer program.

Bloody Run Catchment Simulations

The Bloody Run catchment is located in the northwest section
of Cincinnati, Ohio.  It has a drainage area of 964 ha (2,380
acres) consisting of rolling terrain with commercial and in-
dustrial sections in the valleys and residential districts
on the ridges.  Approximately 55 percent of the area is
residential, 22 percent open land and parks, and the rest
commercial and industrial.

Simulations with Bloody Run catchment data were performed by
Battelle with the SWMM, FSP, and BNW models.  The same spatial
discretization of catchment and sewer elements was used by all
three models.  Runoff was routed directly from the catchment
into the sewers rather than separately through the gutters.
The same empirical model coefficients were used by all three
models for phenomena being modeled by the same equations.
Comparable values were selected for the Horton equation  (in
SWMM) and Holtan equation  (BNW model).  For the FSP, related
values are fixed internally by the program.

For dry initial catchment moisture conditions, the maximum
infiltration, the minimum infiltration, and the decay rate of
infiltration were assumed to be 63.5 mm/hr  (2.50 in./hr),
11.4 mm/hr (0.45 in./hr), and 0.00115 sec"1, respectively.
Retention storage depths were assumed to be 4.67 mm (0.184 in.)
                             319

-------
for pervious and 1.57 mm (0.062 in.)  for impervious areas.
For wet initial moisture conditions,  a constant infiltration
rate of 0.3 mm/hr (0.01 in./hr) was assumed and the available
depth of retention storage was set at 0.3 mm (0.01 in.) for
both pervious and impervious areas.  These values were selected
on the basis of previous runs with the SWMM performed by the
University of Cincinnati and preliminary runs performed by
Battelle.

Default values were used for the water quality model coeffi-
cients since the available water quality measurements were
inadequate to calibrate the SWMM and BNW models.  The FSP
does not simulate water quality.

Preliminary runs indicated that the Bloody Run data may not
be sufficiently complete and accurate to yield reliable tests
of the models.  Information on initial moisture conditions,
spatial variations in infiltration characteristics in the
catchment, and accuracy of the rainfall, runoff, and water
quality measurements were unavailable.  The sewer discharge
was computed from pressure measurements using Manning's equa-
tion without establishing stage-discharge relationships or
verifying the assumed Manning's roughness coefficient with
simultaneous stage and velocity measurements during different
flow periods.  The four upstream sewer sampling stations were
located very short distances upstream of major sewer junctions;
the measured stage in one sewer could therefore be affected
by backwater caused by the other branch, making the assump-
tion of uniform flow conditions for the discharge computation
incorrect for these conditions.  Water quality measurements
were made only during short periods during the storms and
the runoff and water quality were tabulated only for those
periods.  The values of the remaining portions of the runoff
hydrographs had to be obtained from plotted hydrographs,
since the original tables were not available.

For these reasons, only the storms of November 9, 1970, and
August 25, 1971, were simulated.  The SWMM and BNW model
simulations were run with both dry and wet initial catchment
moisture conditions to demonstrate their effects on computed
runoff.  The FSP was run only once for each storm, since it
sets initial catchment moisture conditions internally.  The
model results are summarized in Table 73, which lists the
magnitudes and times of the peak discharges for each storm
at the five Bloody Run gaging stations.  The water quality
data and simulations were not considered sufficiently reli-
able to warrant tabular comparisons.

Figures 83 to 111 show comparisons between the measured run-
off and the runoff computed by the SWMM, FSP, and BNW models.

Measured and computed biochemical oxygen demand and suspended
solids concentrations for the SWMM and BNW models are com-
pared in Figures 112 to 122.  Plots of computed runoff hydro-
graphs are shown for all five gaging stations, so that all
models could be compared regardless of whether measurements
existed at each station or not.  Plots of the computed water
quality are shown for the Outlet station and only those
upstream stations which had measured water quality data.
This was considered sufficient to indicate the difficulty of
simulating wastewater quality with the SWMM and BNW models.

The measured rainfall data were reported at 5-minute intervals
and the measured runoff and water quality data at 7.5-minute
intervals.  Five-minute time steps were selected for all
model simulations.

All three models predict considerably higher runoff than
measured for the storm of November 9, 1970, at the Bank #2,
Longview #1, and Longview #2 stations, and the differences
between models are significant (Table 73).  For the Outlet
station, however, the measured runoff lies between the runoff
predicted by the SWMM and the BNW models for the dry and wet
initial catchment moisture condition, and the FSP over-
estimates the measured runoff by a much smaller percentage
than for the upstream stations.

The sum of the Longview #1 and Longview #2 runoff should be
almost as high as the Outlet runoff.  As shown by Table 73
and Figures 91 to 97, the sum of the measured runoff at
Longview #1 and #2 for the storm of November 9, 1970, is less
than 10 percent of the runoff at the Outlet.  It is highly
improbable that the missing 90 percent of the runoff entered
the sewers between these stations.  The runoff predicted by
the models, however, appears to be in the approximate ratio
of the drainage areas of these stations.

It is interesting to note that no significant difference
exists in the times of the peak runoff values computed by the
SWMM for dry and wet initial conditions, although the magni-
tudes of the peaks differ considerably.

The BNW model predicts the first peak from 15 to 25 minutes
later than the SWMM for the dry initial condition and from
5 to 10 minutes earlier for the wet initial condition.  The
BNW model predicts the same times for the second peaks
regardless of initial moisture condition,  but they are from
25 to 40 minutes later than the second peaks computed by the
SWMM.  The plots for this storm show also that the BNW model
computes saturated catchment moisture conditions after only
about 1 hour of storm runoff,  while over 6 hours are required
by the SWMM.
                             323

-------
The FSP model predicts the correct time for the first peak at
the Outlet, but the predicted value is considerably higher
than the measured value.  Both the FSP and BNW models predict
a second peak, which is only slightly visible in the SWMM
prediction and does not exist in the measured data.  This
seems to indicate that the catchment did not become saturated
and that the second small rainfall peak did not have a large
effect on the runoff hydrograph.

Inspection of Figures 95 and 96 indicates that a better fit
could probably be obtained between measured and computed run-
off by adjusting model coefficients.  This would not provide
better information with regard to model accuracy, however,
considering the uncertainties in the measured data accuracy,
particularly at the upstream stations.

Similar problems occur for the storm of August 25, 1971, which
consists of several intermittent rainfall bursts and associatec
short runoff periods.  Again, the measured runoff at the Bank
#1 and #2 stations is considerably lower than the runoff com-
puted by any model.  The SWMM model compares more favorably
with the Longview #2 measurements  (Figure 107), but then
underestimates the runoff at the Outlet (Figure 110) for both
dry and wet initial conditions.  The BNW model considerably
overestimates the runoff at the Longview #2 station (Figure
108) but its values compare more favorably with the measured
values at the Outlet station (Figure 111).  The FSP model
predicts the runoff at the Outlet quite well  (Figure 112)
although its values are considerably higher than the measured
values at Longview #2 (Figure 109).  The models agree surpri-
singly in predicting the times of the four major peaks of
this storm (Table 73).

The models cannot predict the measured water quality for the
selected Bloody Run storms (Figures 113 to 122).  The SWMM
and BNW model predictions disagree significantly with each
other and with the measured values.  The BNW model predictions
for both suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand are
considerably higher than the SWMM predictions.  The polluto-
graphs are roughly mirror images (upside down) of the runoff
hydrographs, although this is more apparent for the BNW model
(due to its higher values) than for the SWMM.  The measured
concentrations, where available, generally lie between the
BNW and SWMM predictions, but their duration is too short to
draw valid conclusions about model performance.

INTRODUCTION

The cost of applying any of the reviewed models depends on the
objectives of model use and the specific location of applica-
tion.  Objectives may include preliminary planning of new sys-
tems, evaluation of existing system performance, design of new
system components, and real-time control of an existing or
planned system.

The costs of implementing a model for any of these objectives
are highly site specific.  They depend upon the size of the
system to be modeled, whether small subcatchments or only the
major trunk and interceptors have to be simulated, and whether
only flow or both flow and quality have to be considered.  The
costs also depend upon the complexity of the system, its inter-
connections, special facilities (such as diversions, pumps,
siphons, tide gates, storage reservoirs, and treatment plants),
the nature of the runoff events, and the importance of specific
water quality parameters.

The availability of data and their form will greatly influence
costs.  Some cities maintain very efficient files of sewerage
system plans and specifications and have monitored rainfall,
runoff and water quality.  In other cases, extensive field sur-
veys and new monitoring programs may have to be implemented to
collect sufficient data to characterize the catchments, sewerage
system components, and hydrologic and water quality aspects.

The cost of running a program on a computer and performing com-
puter simulations may be small in comparison to the costs of
problem definition, data collection, and interpretation of the
results.  Only for very small catchments and simple problems
may computer costs become a major item.

Significant differences can be expected, nevertheless, in the
implementation and application of different computer programs,
depending on their complexity and the available computer sys-
tem.  In general, these costs will increase with the number of
phenomena being modeled, the number of options in a program,
the size of the system, and the length of the time period to be
simulated.  The costs will decrease with the clarity of the
input data arrangement, the adequacy of data error diagnostics,
the efficiency of the numerical program algorithms, and the
flexibility, completeness, and format of the desired computer
output.

INPUT/OUTPUT FEATURES OF TESTED MODELS

Environmental Protection Agency Stormwater Management Model

The SWMM, being the most comprehensive of the tested models,
may be the most expensive of the generally available models to
implement and apply, provided all of its features are needed.
Implementation is difficult because discrepancies exist between
the model documents and the computer program and the documenta-
tion does not clearly separate the model's theoretical basis,
testing and input data instructions.  The user's manual is dif-
ficult to follow and not sufficiently clear to prevent misin-
terpretations of data definitions.  Limits in numerical values
are not indicated for variables which cause numerical problems
if their value is not within a certain range.  The model does
not include sufficient error diagnostics.

The printout of hydrographs and pollutographs is limited to  20
sewerage system elements, which may not be adequate for large
systems.  Repeated  simulations of the same system are required
if printout is needed for more elements.  The tables of hydro-
graphs and pollutographs do not associate clock times with the
discharge and pollutant concentrations or mass values.  Their
arrangement in blocks by system element, rather than columns,
makes it difficult  to obtain visual comparisons of tabulated
values for selected times.

Battelle Urban Wastewater Management Model

The catchment runoff and sewer flow and water quality routing
formulations of the BNW model are fairly simple.  The complete
model, however, is rather complex since it includes mathematical
optimization for real-time control and for design.  Implementa-
tion costs are expected to be high since the model is programmed
for a small process computer and would require major reprogram-
ming for applications to other computers.  Documentation for
the BNW model is only in the draft stage.  The user's manual is
separate from documentation of model testing and theoretical
formulations; some variables are not defined sufficiently,
however, to be understood without special instructions.  The
input data are arranged into logical groups, but the program
does not have sufficient data error diagnostics to prevent false
starts.

Stage, velocities, and discharge can be printed automatically
for all conduit elements but discharge and pollutant concentra-
tions have to be retrieved by light pen action on a cathode ray
tube separately for each desired junction or diversion struc-
ture, which is time consuming.  This is offset, however, by the
low cost of the small computer.  The model is highly flexible,
                               348

-------
however, in that output can be limited to only the elements of
interest, but output can also be obtained for all system ele-
ments if desired.  The stage, velocity, and discharge in sewers
are printed in columns as functions of time and easy to read,
but they are tabulated at irregular time intervals.  Hydrographs
and pollutographs are printed at constant time intervals for
junctions and diversion structures, with only the beginning
time of the hydrograph or pollutograph indicated on the print-
out.  The characteristic solution of the flow routing results
for different sewerage system elements, making comparisons some-
what difficult.  Plots can be obtained on an electrostatic
printer, however, for any hydrograph and pollutograph and sev-
eral graphs can be overlaid for easy comparison.  A plot of the
system schematic is a useful feature.

Contracting with Watermation, Inc., may be advantageous since
the firm has improved and programmed the BNW model for routine
applications using an IBM 360.

Chicago Flow Simulation Program

The FSP does not include water quality simulation and most model
coefficients are set internally.  It is consequently fairly
easy to implement the model and to prepare the input data.  The
user's instructions are quite clear and the input data are well
arranged.  Limiting parameter values are not given.  For large
areas, the specification of the channel network by x-y coordi-
nates has certain advantages over other methods of defining
element connectivity.

Depth, flow, and storage are printed for each channel or con-
duit.  The arrangement of the output, however, does not identify
the sewer elements or the clock time.  The user must therefore
refer to the input data, which are not listed by the program
automatically, to identify each line of the printout.  Each
line of computer printout contains the time step number and
values of stage, discharge, and storage for only one element
and one time step, which produces unnecessarily long computer
printouts.  The printout is arranged so that the stage, flow
and storage can be seen easily at all elements for a given time
step, but the complete hydrograph at a single element is not
printed and is difficult to extract.  Output is limited to 20
channel elements.  Part of the printout related to the channel
network configuration is not labeled.

The four proprietary models are generally applied by the model
developers for interested clients, although they may be re-
leased under certain contractual arrangements.  Sufficient in-
formation was not available in time to evaluate input data
arrangements, consequently only output features are summarized.

Dorsch Consult Hydrograph-Volume Method

The DORSCH model printout is very well organized.  This is the
only model which prints both the depth and discharge separately
for each of the three types of catchment surfaces.  Clock time,
stage, dry-weather and combined flow are printed in clearly-
marked tables, facilitating inspection of channel stage and
hydrographs.  The user must memorize abbreviations used in the
summary tables for output interpretation.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Urban Watershed Model

The MIT model prints clock time, stage, velocities and discharge
in columnar form for each sewerage system element, which is
easy to read and to interpret.  A useful feature is a line
printer plot of a labeled schematic of the modeled system.  A
separate line printer plotting program is used to plot hydro-
graphs .

SOGREAH Looped Sewer Model

The SOGREAH model prints one catchment runoff hydrograph per
page, clearly labeling the clock time for all runoff values.
Stage, discharge and concentrations at sewerage network ele-
ments are printed concurrently for the entire system for one
value of time making it easy to obtain an overview for the
entire network for a given time but difficult to extract hydro-
graphs for a particular element.  A separate plotter program is
used for this purpose.

Water Resources Engineer Stormwater Management Model

The WRE model output is very well organized.  Separate tables
are printed for junctions and conduits.  The junction tables
list clock time and water surface elevation and depth while
the conduit tables list clock time, discharge and velocity.
Separate tables list clock time, discharge and concentration
for each pollutant at selected junctions.  Line printer plots
of stage, discharge, and concentrations are also available.

COMPUTER TIMES AND COSTS OF TEST RUNS

Comparisons of computer processing time and costs are provided
for the hypothetical data tests performed with the SWMM, BNW,
FSP, DORSCH, MIT, SOGREAH and WRE models.  These tests are
equivalent to the simulation of four runoff events, each of
six hours' average duration for a watershed containing 80 sub-
catchments, 37 kilometers  (23 miles) of conduit, 6 diversion
structures and 6 storage basins.  Three pollutants were routed
with each runoff hydrograph for the models simulating water
quality  (Table 74).

Computer Processing Time

The computer processing time required for these tests is listed
for the seven models in Table 75.  Due to the proprietary nature
of four of the models and the special requirements of the BNW
model, it was not possible to run all models on the same com-
puter to obtain good running-time comparisons.  The table nev-
ertheless presents useful information for comparison of at
least those models which were run on similar computers.  Since
not all models performed all hypothetical data tests, some of
the listed running times are estimates based on the assumption
that the same number of data combinations were performed by all
models.

Computer running times for the pollutant routing are not listed
for the FSP and MIT models since they do not include water qual-
ity formulations.  Computer running times for the pollutant
routing by the DORSCH model were not available.  For the SOGREAH
and WRE models it was possible to list the times required for
the flow and pollutant routing separately since these models
performed separate computer runs for them.  For the SWMM and
BNW models, the flow and pollutant routing is performed in the
same run; consequently only the total running time for both can
be listed.

The computer processing times of the FSP, DORSCH, MIT, SWMM,
SOGREAH and WRE models for the catchment runoff computations
are quite comparable, although they were performed on different
computers.  The SWMM version used for these tests performed
water quality computations, although they were not needed, and
consequently performed more computations than the other models.
A new SWMM version allows the suppression of water quality

computations, which would result in shorter running time for
the hypothetical catchment tests.

The FSP, DORSCH, MIT, WRE and SOGREAH models show comparable
running times for the flow routing, and the SWMM, WRE and
SOGREAH models are comparable for the combined flow and pollu-
tant routing.  The BNW model running times are much longer
because of the slower execution speed of the PDP-9.

Computer Processing Costs

Processing cost, a more meaningful comparison than processing
time, is listed in Table 76.  The FSP and SWMM were run on a
CDC 6400 computer at a cost of U.S. $640/hr, the MIT model on
an IBM 370/195 computer at a cost of U.S. $860/hr, the WRE
model on a UNIVAC 1108 computer at a cost of U.S. $750/hr, and
the BNW model on a PDP-9 computer at a cost of U.S. $35/hr.
Sufficient information was not available for these models to
estimate computer running time and cost as a function of num-
ber of sewerage system elements and number of time steps.  Test
runs with the WRE surface runoff transport model performed by
Water Resources Engineers indicated nearly identical costs for
the CDC 6600, IBM 360/65 and UNIVAC 1108 computers.

The DORSCH model was run on a UNIVAC 1108 computer at a cost
of U.S. $600/hr.  Dorsch Consult provided the following in-
formation to estimate the cost of applying the DORSCH model:

     Computer running time for flow routing = 0.02 to 0.07 sec
     x number of sewerage system elements x number of time
     steps; 0.02 sec for sewerage systems with few diversions,
     weirs, special structures, and backwater effects; 0.07
     sec for sewerage systems with loops and extensive back-
     water effects throughout the entire network; 0.05 sec for
     average configurations.

     Input data preparation:  0.25 to 0.60 hr per sewerage sys-
     tem element for evaluating existing systems and 0.35 to
     0.60 hr per sewerage system element for evaluating system
     improvements depending on the availability and quality of
     sewerage system plans and data.

Dorsch Consult estimates that the run time of a CDC 6600 com-
puter would be 55.5 percent of the run time on a UNIVAC 1108.

The SOGREAH model was run on an IBM 360/65 computer at a cost
of U.S. $900/hr.  SOGREAH provided the following information
to estimate the computer cost for applying the SOGREAH model:

     Computer running time for flow routing = 0.002 sec
     x number of sewerage system elements x number of time
     steps + 0.00012 sec x (number of sewerage system
     elements) .

The costs of the catchment runoff computations are comparable
for the DORSCH, BNW, SOGREAH and WRE models.  The cost of the
SWMM catchment simulations could be reduced with the new version
by suppressing the catchment water quality simulations.  It is
not clear why the FSP and MIT model runs of the catchment simu-
lations would cost two to three times more than the other models.
The actual cost of the MIT catchment simulations was less, since
only fully pervious and fully impervious catchments were simu-
lated and the runoff for the various combinations of pervious
and impervious catchments was computed from these in proportion
to the percent imperviousness.  The listed cost would be repre-
sentative, however, for running all 320 catchment data combina-
tions.

The FSP shows the lowest cost for flow routing due to the simple
linear routing scheme.  Comparable costs are shown for the DORSCH,
MIT, WRE, and SOGREAH models.  The MIT cost is the highest of
these four, although it uses the simplest routing scheme; the
cost difference, however, may not be significant.

For the combined flow and pollutant routing, the BNW model shows
the lowest cost, primarily because it runs on the inexpensive
PDP-9 computer.  Surprisingly, the SOGREAH and WRE models are
less expensive than the SWMM model although they solve the full
dynamic wave equations and the SWMM solves the simpler kinematic
wave equation.

These comparisons indicate that the tested models feature effi-
cient numerical solution algorithms for the full dynamic wave
equation which are competitive with the more approximate kine-
matic wave equation.  The tests also indicate that no signifi-
cant differences exist in the computer running costs of models
which use either an explicit (WRE model)  or implicit (DORSCH
and SOGREAH models) finite difference solution of the dynamic
wave equation.  Preliminary runs by the model developers
indicate, however, that computer running times several times
longer than necessary may result if the time step is chosen
shorter than necessary with respect to the time and space
variability of the modeled phenomena.  Explicit solutions
generally require much smaller computational time steps than
implicit solutions due to stringent numerical stability con-
ditions, but fewer iterations are required for the solution
at any one time step for the explicit than the implicit solu-
tions.  For example, to obtain the same accuracy for a particu-
lar application, the implicit scheme may be able to use time
                              355

-------
steps which are ten times longer than the explicit scheme.  On
the other hand, the explicit scheme may need only four itera-
tions to converge on a solution at a particular time step, while
the implicit scheme may need as many as 30 iterations.  Whether
one scheme is more efficient than the other depends on the
physical characteristics of the channel system and flow phe-
nomena being modeled.  No general criteria have been developed.

SUMMARY

It should be pointed out that these computer processing costs
can be used only as guidelines.  Relative running times and
costs for the models may be quite different for real catchments
as a result of special features which permit the identification
of typical catchment elements and reduce duplication of data
input and simulations for similar subcatchments and sewerage
system components.  The BNW, MIT and WRE models have features
of this type.

At the beginning of the model comparison, it was planned to
run all models selected for the numerical testing on the same
computer to provide a common base for comparing computer pro-
cessing time and cost.  Subsequently, the FSP and SWMM were
converted to run on the CDC 6400 computer of Battelle-Columbus,
since an IBM computer was not readily available to Battelle-
Northwest at that time.  Conversion of the BNW model, however,
from the small PDP-9 computer to the CDC 6400 was not performed
due to expected high cost.  In addition, the four proprietary
models had to be run on the computers being used by the respec-
tive firms since the programs were not released.

The cost comparisons are still realistic, however, since the
potential user would run a particular model on the computer
for which the model is written unless he is willing to pay for
the conversion cost.  The costs in Table 76 are consequently
valid comparisons of computer costs for running the simple
hypothetical data tests.  Additional numerical tests simulat-
ing large sewerage networks of varying complexity would be
required to obtain a more comprehensive comparison of computer
costs for running the different models, to evaluate the effect
on computer processing costs of model differences in input
data arrangement for complex networks, of economies in comput-
ing hydrologic phenomena for typical subcatchments only rather
than every subcatchment, and of different network flow routing
algorithms.

INTRODUCTION

Several observations can be made as a result of the preceding
model reviews and numerical testing.  It is hoped that they may
provide some guidance with respect to future model development
and implementation.

DATA

Although highly sophisticated mathematical models exist for the
simulation of water flow and quality in urban drainage systems,
their verification and application has been greatly hindered by
the lack of reliable and comprehensive data on physical charac-
teristics of urban catchments, rainfall runoff, and water quality.

Past data collection programs have generally been designed to
provide answers to specific problems or to develop relationships
of limited scope, rather than to provide a general body of infor-
mation such as is needed to assess the comprehensive models
reviewed in this study.  Quite often, reliable rainfall and run-
off data are collected but data are insufficient or unavailable
to describe other important meteorological variables and catch-
ment moisture conditions at the beginning of rainfall and during
the rainstorm.  Quite commonly, the physical dimensions of the
sewerage system have not been described adequately, such as
length, areas, slopes, and roughness characteristics of the run-
off surfaces; sizes, slopes and materials of conduits and open
channels; and configurations and dimensions of special control
structures.  Expensive programs would be needed to obtain these
measurements and in some cases, the watershed characteristics
may have changed sufficiently since the rainfall and runoff data
were collected to make post-facto measurements meaningless.

This lack of comprehensive data has forced model developers to
test portions of their models on data for different watersheds.
This requires replacing unavailable data with assumptions, and
consequently the tests cannot be considered as conclusive as if
all needed model data had been available for the same catchment.

Very rarely is the accuracy of the measured data documented.
Data accuracy can be estimated if descriptions of the instru-
mentation and measurement procedures are available, but this is
still less than satisfactory.  In one case it was found that
portions of the reportedly observed runoff and water quality data
were not measured but interpolated from discontinuous measurements,
In another case, runoff was computed from water pressure measure-
ments with Manning's equation without attempts to calibrate the
equation  (Manning's n) with measured depth and velocity measure-
ments.  In computing the discharge, uniform flow conditions were
assumed where backwater conditions may have existed for certain
                               358

-------
flow conditions, particularly where the measuring stations were
a short distance upstream of major trunk sewer junctions.

A fair amount of reliable runoff data is now available, but reli-
able water quality data are hard to find.  Particularly lacking
is information which would permit definitive conclusions or corre-
lations between catchment land uses and water quality.

MODELS

This review of eighteen sewerage system simulation models and
testing of seven of them indicates that it is extremely difficult
to select the best model for a particular application.  Some models
have been designed for specific objectives not considered by
others, and consequently they would be preferred if the user has
the same objectives in mind.  Some proprietary models have features
which appear superior to the publicly available models, but a user
may prefer to run his own model and consequently has to be satis-
fied with a model that does not exactly meet his requirements.

Quite often it is found that the model does not perform exactly
as claimed by the model developers or that certain features which
appeared to be working for the developer are not adequate for the
needs of a new user.  The user should therefore expect to perform
some model modifications and improvements.  Most models that are
actively used are consequently in a continuous state of develop-
ment by both the original developers and by various users.  As a
result, several versions of the same model may exist and the new
user has the added problem of making a selection from different
versions of the same model.

Because of this continuing development work, model documentation
is rarely up-to-date and the user is faced with reconciling dif-
ferences among the model descriptions, user's manuals, and the
actual computer program.  Sometimes the model reports describe
features which were planned for a model which to the model user's
surprise were never implemented in the computer program he receives,

The numerical testing of the models indicates that a direct rela-
tionship between model complexity and its cost of implementation
and application exists with respect to the number of major phe-
nomena which are modeled.  Efficient solution algorithms, however,
may reduce this difference significantly.  This is true particu-
larly for proprietary models due to their need to stay competitive.
A model which simulates many special sewerage system facilities
will be more complex in structure and require more data and com-
puter storage than a model that computes only runoff from a single
catchment without routing flows or which does only flow routing
in a simple converging network without computing runoff from pre-
cipitation and land use.
                                359

-------
The simulation of water quality adds considerable complexity to
a model, even if it routes only conservative substances.  The
complexity increases substantially if both storm and dry-weather
water quality is computed from land use characteristics.  Addi-
tional complexities are -added if wastewater treatment and receiv-
ing water flow and quality are being modeled.

To reduce this complexity, it would be desirable to have a series
of models which are interfaced by common input and output, that
can be run independently provided the required data are available,
or that can be run in any desired sequence.  This would allow
model implementation in stages, reduce implementation cost and
computer storage requirements, and facilitate acceptance of the
models.  A series of models, rather than one large comprehensive
model, would reduce the need to compromise in specific submodel
formulations, a course which is often required to save computer
space.

Such model series already exist, but some streamlining and improve-
ment of components is needed to facilitate their use, either
independently or in any sequence.  An example is the EPA's Storm-
water Management Model, which simulates storm and dry-weather run-
off and water quality from catchments, routes them through complex
sewerage networks, simulates storage and various treatment pro-
cesses, and computes the effects of sewerage system effluents on
receiving water quality.  The model needs several improvements,
however, before it becomes sufficiently general to model all
important phenomena and to allow arbitrary sequencing of major
model components.  Needed improvements, for instance, would be
the simulation of catchment moisture balance between rainstorms
to provide continuous simulation capability, the addition of
snowmelt and evapotranspiration, the simulation of backwater,
flow reversal and surcharging, a more accurate formulation for
storage and flow diversion facilities, the simulation of main
treatment plants, and the interfacing with more comprehensive
receiving water quality models for river basins, including
estuaries and deep lakes and impoundments.

The testing of seven models indicates that approximations in
mathematical formulations to simplify their solution do not neces-
sarily reduce computer processing times, as shown by comparisons
in the flow routing between models using different numerical
schemes for solving the kinematic and dynamic wave equations.
Solutions of more complex and comprehensive equations can appar-
ently be more efficient than attempts to approximate comprehensive
phenomena with simplified equations.  The testing and review of
the models indicates also that the flow and water quality routing,
although complex for looping and converging and diverging branch
systems with special structures, are the best understood phenomena
and that the selection of a particular mathematical formulation
                               360

-------
and numerical solution technique is governed only by the prefer-
ence and needs of the model developer and user.  Considerable
uncertainties exist, however, in the modeling of catchment phe-
nomena, both the flow and water quality of storm and dry-weather
runoff.  The definition of adequate formulations for soil infil-
tration, the filling of depression storage, evapotranspiration,
groundwater seepage and soil moisture are extremely difficult
considering the heterogeneity of catchment land uses, geometry,
vegetation, and soils.  The adequacy of catchment water quality
computations from catchment land use and runoff hais not been
sufficiently demonstrated.  Although various models have shown
good agreement between measured and computed catchment runoff
water quality, the comparisons have been too limited to assign
confidence limits to predictions for catchments without measure-
ments .

Another problem is related to the calibration of the more com-
prehensive models, that is the determination of the best values
of empirical model coefficients.  Traditionally, much hard work
is required to obtain a best fit between measured and computed
runoff  (and water quality, if modeled), and generally the model
user must rely on his experience and intuition to adjust model
coefficients in an optimal manner.  Automatic optimization
schemes would be needed to obtain optimal values of coefficients
and to indicate confidence limits to be expected in model appli-
cations for predictions.

In summary, the reviewed models provide very useful tools
to the engineer and planner for assessing, designing, planning
and controlling storm and combined sewerage systems.  It is
extremely important, however, that the potential model user study
the formulations of the models, their limitations and approxima-
tions,  if he is to use the models in an appropriate manner.  It
is hoped that this review will aid him in assessing model capa-
bilities and limitations and thus to select models most suited
for his purposes.

                          SECTION XI

                           GLOSSARY
Advective transport - mass transport resulting from average
velocity component of flow only, neglecting turbulent dis-
persion and molecular diffusion.

Backwater - the increased depth of water upstream from a
dam or obstruction in a stream channel due to the existence
of such obstruction, and the raising by it of the water
level some distance upstream.

Binary - the representation of a numerical quantity by use
of the two digits 0^ and !_.

Bit - abbreviation of binary digit:  smallest possible unit
of computer storage.

BOD - biochemical oxygen demand, a standard test used in
assessing wastewater strength; the quantity of oxygen used
in the biological-chemical oxidation of organic matter in
a specified time under standard conditions.

Branch network - network with tree type structure without
closed loops.

Byte - a sequence of adjacent binary digits operated as a
unit.

Catchment - the area tributary to a lake, stream or drain;
also called drainage area, catchment area, watershed.

Closed conduit - any closed artificial or natural duct for
conveying liquids or possibly other fluids.

Coliform - bacteria found in intestines of,mammals,
therefore used as an indication of the pollution level of
a sample or body of water.

Combined sewer - a sewer receiving both intercepted surface
runoff and municipal sewage.
                              377

-------
 Conservative  pollutant,.- pollutant whose  total  mass  does
 not  change  in the  system under  consideration.

Core - computer storage area where binary data is represented
by the direction of the magnetic field in each unit of an
array of tiny donut-shaped rings (generally).

Crown - the ceiling, top, of highest portion of the internal
cross section of a closed conduit.

Dispersion -  the mixing of a pollutant with a large volume
of water in a stream or other body of water.

Diversion structure - a structure that may be closed to
divert flow from the channel in which it is located to some
other channel; also called regulator.

DO - dissolved oxygen, the amount of gaseous oxygen dissolved
into a liquid sample.

Dry-weather flow - the flow of wastewater in a combined
sewer during  dry weather; such flow consists mainly of waste-
water, with no stormwater included.

Dynamic regulator - a regulator which automatically makes
adjustments in control settings by responding to water
levels in the combined sewer or interceptor.

Dynamic wave  - open channel flow defined as a function of
water depth, water surface slope, advective acceleration and
local acceleration.

Evapotranspiration - water withdrawn from soil by evaporation
and plant transpiration; also called consumptive use.

First flush - heavy load of material, previously settled in
sewers, which is washed along by the initial flow resulting
from a storm.

Fixed regulator - a regulator which has no moving parts.

Froude number - a numerical quantity used as an index to
characterize  the type of flow in a hydraulic structure that
has the force of gravity (as the only force producing motion)
acting in conjunction with the resisting force of inertia;
it is equal to the square of a characteristic velocity (the
mean, surface, or maximum velocity)  of the system, divided
by the product of a characteristic linear dimension, such as
diameter or depth, and the gravity constant or acceleration
due to gravity - all expressed in consistent units so that
the combinations will be dimensionless; the number is used
in open-channel flow studies or in cases in which the free
surface plays an essential role in influencing motion.


                              378

-------
Hydrograph - a graph showing the discharge of water with
respect to time for a given point for open-channel or closed
conduit.

Hyetograph - a graph showing average rainfall, rainfall
intensities or volume over specified areas with respect to
time.

Infiltration - the entrance of water into the soil or other
porous material through the interstices or pores of a soil
or other porous medium; the water entering a sewer system
and service connections from the ground, through such means
as, but no limited to, defective pipes, pipe joints, connec-
tions, or manhole walls.  Infiltration does not include,
and is distinguished from, inflow.

Inflow - water discharged into a sewer system and service
connections from such sources as roof gutters, cellars,
yard and area drains, foundation drains, cooling water
discharges, drains from springs and swampy areas, manhole
covers, cross-connections from storm sewers and combined
sewers, catchbasins, stormwaters, surface waters, street
washwaters or drainages.

Inline storage or treatment - storage or treatment of waste-
water within the sewer network.

Interceptor sewer - a sewer that generally receives most
dry-weather flow and a portion of the combined flow from
a number of transverse combined sewers and conveys such
waters to a point for treatment.

system.

Invert - the floor, bottom or lowest portion of the internal
cross section of a closed conduit; used particularly with
reference to aqueducts, sewers, tunnels, and drains.

Inverted siphon - a pipeline crossing a depression or
passing under a structure and having a reversal in grade
on a portion of the line, thus creating a V- or U-shaped
section of conduit; the line is under positive pressure
from inlet to outlet and should not be confused with a
siphon; also called depressed sewer.

Kinematic wave - open-channel flow defined as a function of
water depth alone, neglecting the effects of the water
surface slope, advective and local acceleration on wave
celerity.
                              379

-------
Leaping weir - a leaping weir is formed by a gap in the
invert of a sewer; dry-weather flow falls through the gap to
an intercepter, high flow with increased velocity leaps the
gap and continues in the sewer, generally to an overflow
outlet.

Looped network - channel and conduit network containing
closed loops.

         - chemical symbol for ammonia and nitrate in
solution1.

Non-conservative pollutant - a pollutant whose total mass in
the system under consideration changes as a result of decay
or chemical-biological reactions.

Overflow storage or treatment - storage or treatment of
overflow from high flow periods outside the sewer network.

Overland flow - the flow of water over the ground surface
before it becomes channelized.

Perpendicular weir - a regulator whose weir crest is
perpendicular to the direction of flow.

Plug flow - the passage of liquid through a chamber such
that all increments of liquid move only in the direction
of flow and at equal velocity.

POT"* - chemical symbol for phosphate in solution.
Pressure flow - full pipe flow with energy gradient or
hydraulic gradeline above conduit crown.

Rainfall excess - that part of a rain of a given storm
which falls at intensities exceeding the infiltration
capacity and is thus available for direct runoff.

Rational method - a method of estimating the runoff in a
drainage basin at a specific point and time by means of
the rational runoff formula; for each drainage area, the
rainfall rate under a stated intensity-duration'relation-
ship, the fraction that will appear as runoff, and the
basin area above the specific point are estimated; their
product is the flow; this method is used to estimate
storm runoff in urban areas and flood flows in streams.
                              380

-------
Real-time control - control of a system by using  computers
and  timing such  that  the  speed of response to  the input
information is fast enough to effectively influence the
performance of that system; in a combined sewerage system,
regulation of wastewater  flows during rainstorms  by changing
regulator gate openings and weir heights to minimize over-
flows .

Regulator - a structure which controls the amount of sewage
entering an interceptor by storing in a trunk  line or
diverting some portion of the flow to an outfall.

Retention - the  prevention of runoff from entering the sewer
system by storing on  a surface area or in a storage basin.

Routing - computing the downstream outflow hydrograph of an
open channel from known values of upstream inflow.

Sanitary sewer - a sewer  that carries liquid and  water-
carried wastes from residences, commercial buildings, indus-
trial plants, and institutions, together with  relatively
low quantities of ground, storm, and surface waters that
are not admitted intentionally.

Scour - the action of a flowing liquid as it lifts and
carries away the material on the sides or bottom of a water-
way, conduit, or pipeline.

Sedimentation - the process of subsidence and deposition of
suspended matter carried by water,  wastewater, or other
liquids, by gravity;  it is usually accomplished by reducing
the velocity of the liquid below the point at which it can
transport the suspended material; also called settling.

Settleable solids - That matter in wastewater which will not
stay in suspension during a preselected settling period, such
as one hour, but either settles to the bottom or floats to
the top; in the Imhoff cone test, the volume of matter that
settles to the bottom of the cone in one hour.

Sewer - a pipe or conduit generally closed, but normally not
flowing full, for carrying sewage or other waste liquids.

Sewerage - system of piping,  with appurtenances, for
collecting and conveying wastewaters from source to discharge.
                              381

-------
Sidespill weir - a regulator which is essentially a long
slot cut into the side of a sewer; normal dry-weather flow
continues through the sewer while the increased depth during
a storm will allow excessive flows to exit through the slot
to some alternate point as an overflow.

Stage - the elevation of a water surface above its minimum
or above or below an established low-water plane or datum
of reference.

Static regulator - a regulator which is either fixed or can
be adjusted only by manual actions of a human operator.

Storm sewer - a sewer that carries intercepted surface
runoff, street wash and other surface drainage, but
excludes domestic sewage and industrial wastes.

Surface runoff - precipitation that falls onto the surfaces
of roofs, streets, ground, etc., and is not absorbed or
retained by that surface, thereby collecting and running
off.

Surcharge - the flow condition occurring in closed conduits
when the hydraulic grade line is, above the conduit crown;
or the transition from open channel to pressure flow.

Suspended solids - Solids that either float on the surface
of, or are in suspension in, water, wastewater, or other
liquids, and which are largely removable by laboratory
filtering; the quantity of material removed from wastewater
in a laboratory test, as prescribed in "Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Wastewater" and referred
to as nonfilterable residue.

Synthetic unit hydrograph - a unit hydrograph developed
for an ungaged drainage area, based on known physical
characteristics of the basin.

Thiessen polygon - the points of location of raingages on a
map are joined by straight lines and their perpendicular
bisector drawn; the polygon formed around each raingage
station by these perpendiculars is called, after its
originator, a Thiessen polygon; the drainage area within a
polygon is assumed to receive the same precipitation as the
raingage at the center of the polygon.

Trunk sewer - a sewer that receives many tributary branches
and serves a large territory.
                              382

-------
Unit hydrograph - the hydrograph of storm runoff at a given
point on a given stream which will result from an isolated
rainfall excess of unit duration occurring over the
contributing drainage area and resulting in a unit of
runoff; also called unitgraph.

Unit treatment process - component of wastewater treatment
facility, e.g., screens, trickling filter, etc.

Wastewater - the spent water of a community, including
domestic,industrial and commercial water carrying solids
plus storm or other water sources; replacing the term
sewage.

Wave - a rise in open-channel flow to a crest in response
to runoff generated by precipitation and its subsequent
recession after the cessation of precipitation; the crest
moves downstream at a velocity (wave celerity) different
from the velocity of flow.

Wave ce1 e rity - the velocity of propagation of a wave
through a fluid medium relative to the undisturbed velocity
of the fluid through which the disturbance is propagated.

Word - a set of 16 or more bits stored and transferred as
a unit by the computer.

INTRODUCTION

Brief descriptions and the principal equations are presented
for each of the seven models which were tested with hypothet-
ical and real catchment data.  The descriptions are intended
primarily as a quick reference to the main equations and
assumptions of each model, so the reader will not have to
wade through a maze of theoretical developments and derivations
to gain a basic understanding of the models' capabilities.
The original model documentation should be consulted, however,
for detailed derivations and justifications of model assump-
tions.

Equations are given for the catchment and sewerage system flow
and water quality computations if available in model docu-
ments.  The inclusion of equations for other model features,
such as receiving water flow and quality simulation, and real-
time and design optimization was beyond the scope of this
s tudy.

Complete mathematical formulations were not available for some
proprietary models.  Consequently only the available equations
are presented, and the potential user is advised to contact
the model developer for additional details.

Consistent nomenclature is used for the equations of all models
to facilitate model comparisons.  The selected mathematical
symbols and their definitions are listed in Appendix D.  They
are also defined following their first occurrence in each model
description.

BATTELLE URBAN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL

Summary

The Battelle Urban Wastewater Management Model (Brandstetter
et al., 1973) is intended primarily for the simulation of
major sewer system components, such as trunk and interceptor
sewers, regulators, overflow storage facilities,  and treat-
ment plants.  It provides a means of evaluating the time-
varying performance of a planned or existing sewerage system
under a variety of rainfall conditions, considering both the
time and spatial variations of rainfall rates without requir-
ing the simulation of every small sewer, manhole, etc., in the
system.  Stormwater and sanitary runoff and quality of major
catchment areas are computed using hydrologic lumping tech-
niques to arrive at hydrographs and quality graphs at major
regulators and at junctions of major trunks and interceptors.
The runoff is then routed through trunk and interceptor
sewers to the treatment plant.  The model is limited to the
simulation of single runoff events.
                              397

-------
The model can simulate up to seven conservative wastewater
quality parameters.   Quality reactions, with the exception of
changes at treatment facilities, are not modeled.  The model
determines the required diversion at control regulators during
real-time rainstorm events in order to minimize wastewater dis-
charges to receiving waters.  The model can also be used for
design and planning studies.  It computes sizes and costs of
structural sewer system modifications  (such as sewers, storage
and treatment facilities) which will result in the least-cost
combination of alternatives for improving system performance.

Watershed Representation

Catchments are represented by their areas and the length of the
main drainage channel; catchment shape does not enter the
computations.  Overland flow and flow routing in gutters and
minor channels are lumped into a single computation.  The
model includes provisions to compute runoff from only major
catchments and to increase the computed runoff in proportion
to drainage area to account for runoff from adjacent small
catchments not modeled separately.  Cumulative rainfall can be
provided at irregular time intervals for several raingages.
Weighted rainfall intensities are computed for each subcatch-
ment by the Thiessen polygon method.

Losses on Impervious Areas

Rainfall losses on impervious areas are assumed to depend on
the rainfall, the antecedent moisture condition, the accumu-
lated losses, and three coefficients.  The accumulated loss
represents the amount of moisture retained on the impervious
surfaces and intercepted by trees.  The first coefficient
represents the accumulated loss which must be reached before
any runoff will occur.  Once the initial loss has been satis-
fied, the additional loss at each time step is assumed to
decrease exponentially.  The accumulated loss until the begin-
ning of a time step is given by

            V. at beginning of rain
       Vi =  *                                             (1)
            V. + f. thereafter
             i    i
where
       V. = antecedent moisture condition, in.

       f. = rainfall loss on impervious area during
         1   interval At, in.
      i   ii
    V.,V. = accumulated loss at beginning and end of time
      1   1   interval At, in.

                              398

-------
The loss during the time interval At is then computed from


                                                          (2)
            rt if v! < h.

       fi =               '
            r  a exp[- b v^ if V.  > h.
where
       h. = minimum accumulated loss which must be reached
            before runoff will occur, in.

      a,b = impervious loss rate coefficients

       r  = rainfall during time interval At, in.

The rainfall excess from the impervious area during the time
interval At is then given by
       r. = rt - f±                                        (3)
where
       r. = rainfall excess on impervious areas during time
        1   interval At, in.

Losses on Pervious Areas

Rainfall losses from the pervious areas are assumed to depend
on the rainfall, the antecedent moisture condition, the accu-
mulated losses, the infiltration rate under dry conditions,
the equilibrium infiltration rate, the total available mois-
ture storage capacity in the soil, and a rate coefficient.  As
before, an initial loss must be satisfied before any runoff
can occur.  The accumulated loss until the beginning of a time
step is given by
             P                                             (4)
            V^ at beginning of rain
       V  =\
        P
           •V  + f  thereafter
             P    P
where
       V  = antecedent moisture condition, in.
        P

       f  = rainfall loss on pervious area during time
        p   interval At, in.
     i   n
    V ,V  = accumulated loss at beginning and end of time
        "   interval At, in.

                              399

-------
The loss is then determined from
       f  =.
        P
             ^ if V. < h  or r. > f
             t     i -  p     t
             f if V. > h  and r  > f
                   i    p      t
                                     (5)
where
       h  =- minimum accumulated loss which must be satisfied
        p   before runoff will occur, in.

        f = potential infiltration on pervious area during
            time interval At, in.

The potential loss is approximated by the Holtan infiltration
equation as modified by Huggins and Monke:
        f =
                                       or

                                     (6)
where
       f  = equilibrium infiltration rate, in./hr


       f  = infiltration rate under dry conditions, in./hr


        a = pervious infiltration rate coefficient

        s = total available soil moisture storage capacity,  in.

       At = constant time interval, minutes
The rainfall excess from the pervious area during the time
interval At is then given by
where
       r  = r. - f
        p    t    p
       r  = rainfall excess on pervious area during  time

Stormwater Runoff

The combined rainfall excess of the catchment from both per-
vious and impervious areas during the time interval At is
given by
                             rp                            (8)
where
       r  = rainfall excess on catchment during time
            interval At, in.

       p.  = fraction of impervious area of catchment
            drainage area, percent/100

Storm runoff is computed for each modeled catchment using
the unit-hydrograph method.  Triangular unit-hydrographs are
derived from catchment characteristics  (including catchment
length, average catchment slope, and type of soil and soil
cover) using the formulas of the U.S. Soil Conservation
Service:

       L  = Length of main runoff channel, ft

       S  = average slope of catchment, percent


       t  = time to peak of unit hydrograph, minutes


       t,  = base time of unit hydrograph, minutes

       U  = peak ordinate of unit hydrograph, minutes
                             401

-------
The rainfall excess is then convoluted with the unit hydro
graph to derive the stormwater runoff hydrograph:
            m+1
Uj
                           At
where
        m = length of memory of catchment  (mAt = t, )

       qk = catchment stormwater runoff during k-th time
            interval, in.

       U. = unit hydrograph ordinate, minutes'


   rk-i+l = rainfa11 excess during (k-j+l)-th time
      J     interval, in.

The total stormwater runoff from a catchment at the end of
the k-th time interval is then
qs = 1.008
          = 60.48
                                                          (13)
where

       A  = drainage area of catchment, acres
        (_.

       q  = catchment stormwater runoff, cfs
        o

Dry-Weather Runoff

Dry-weather flow rates are estimated from measurements in the
modeled catchments or similar areas.  Average dry-weather flows
for each catchment are multiplied by hourly, daily, and sea-
sonal factors to obtain hourly dry-weather flow rates for a
given day of the week and season.  The average flow and ad-
justment factors are specified by input data for each catch-
ment.  The hourly values are then interpolated linearly to
obtain dry-weather flow rates at the selected time intervals
corresponding to the stormwater runoff hydrographs.

Combined Catchment Runoff

The storm runoff and dry-weather flow hydrographs are then
added to obtain the combined catchment runoff hydrograph:
                             402

-------
       qc = qd + qg                                       (14)

where

       q, = dry-weather runoff from catchment, cfs


       q  = combined dry-weather and stormwater runoff
            from catchment, cfs

This combined hydrograph is then reduced by the overflows
from small upstream regulators not modeled separately.  The
mathematical formulation is based on the clipping action of
regulators on the peaks of the hydrograph:
       qc =
             qc if qc < a qd
(15)
             aD + 8 (q  -a q.q) if q  > oc q,
                     O      U      C-      U

where

        a = regulator clipping factor

        3 = overflow reduction factor, < 1

       q, = average dry-weather runoff rate, cfs

        *
       q  = combined dry-weather and stormwater runoff from
        0   catchment, reduced by upstream overflows not
            modeled separately, cfs

The overflow reduction factor is approximated by

                  n

            AC -  £ A'
        B = —	jpi—-                                   (16)
                  c

where

        n = number of upstream regulators not modeled
            separately

       A. = combined drainage areas tributary to regulators
        -*   not modeled separately, acres

       A  = drainage area of modeled catchment, acres
                             403

-------
To reduce data requirements and computational effort, only
major catchments are modeled in the Detail described above.
The runoff from smaller catchments is lumped into the runoff
from the adjacent major catchments in proportion to their
drainage areas:

       Qc = k q*                                          (17)

where

        k = catchment lumping factor

       Q  = combined dry-weather and stormwater runoff
            from catchment, increased by runoff from
            adjacent catchments not modeled separately, cfs

The lumping factor is approximated by
            A  +  /  A.
             c   -
        k =
where

        n = number of adjacent catchments not modeled
            separately

       A. = drainage areas of adjacent catchments not
        -1   modeled separately, acres

       A  = drainage area of modeled catchment, acres
        C

Conduit Flow Routing

The Battelle model is formulated for flow routing in circular
closed conduits only.  The flow routing uses a characteristic
solution of the kinematic wave equation, which is defined by
the

continuity equation:

  SQ   6A   -.                                             ( -i n \
  •7-=- + 7— = o                                             ij.yj


and Manning's equation:

     Q . 1^49 A R2/3  1/2 = 1,49 A5/3  -2/3 gl/2          (2Q)
     w     n                  n
                              404

-------
where

        Q = discharge, cfs
                                    2
        A = cross-sectional area, ft

        x = distance, ft

        t = time, sec

        n = Manning's roughness coefficient

        P = wetted perimeter, ft

        R = A/P = hydraulic radius, ft

        S = invert slope, ft/ft

The following geometric relationships for circular pipes are
introduced into the kinematic wave equation:
        A =    e
        Y = I  (1- cos |)                                  (22)

This results in the following formulation of the  kinematic
wave equation for circular pipes:

        c =       sl/2 D2/3
     F(8) =  (1- Sig-1)2/3  (3-5 cos 6 + 2


and Manning's equation:

        Q = c' 6 (1- sin_e}5/3                            (3Q)


where
       c. =        S    D8/3


The characteristic form of Equation (27) is


       •|£ = c F(6)                                        (32)

This equation is then solved by finite differences in the
form


       At = c-fw                                        (33)

where

       At = travel time of kinematic wave through conduit
            reach, sec

       Ax = length of conduit reach, ft

The flow routing for a pipe reach starts with the upstream
inflow hydrograph, specified at constant time intervals.
Assuming uniform flow conditions, the angle 6 is computed by
the method of bisection from Equation 30.  Equation 33 then
gives the kinematic wave travel time to the downstream end
of the pipe reach.  Since this results in a hydrograph speci-
fied at irregular time intervals, it is interpolated linearly
at constant time intervals to obtain the inflow hydrograph
for the next downstream pipe reach.
                             406

-------
This formulation neglects downstream flow control and cannot
compute backwater, flow reversal, and surcharging.  Warning
statements are printed by the computer program if the computed
flow depth exceeds 93 percent of the diameter.

Diversion Structures

The diversion equations are based on standard weir and ori-
fice discharge equations and neglect downstream effects on
the regulator discharge.

The discharge over a weir is assumed to follow the relation-
ship
Qw= i
             O if Y < h
                    *  w a                                (34)

        Y = depth of flow above sewer invert upstream of
            orifice, ft

For a diversion structure with an orifice dry-weather outlet
immediately upstream of a combined overflow weir, Equations
34 and 35 are solved simultaneously with the equation of
continuity:

        Q = QQ + Qw                                      (36)

where

        Q = inflow rate to the diversion structure, cfs

Equations 34 to 36 have the three unknown variables:  Y, Q ,
and Q .  Elimination of H and Q  results in the diversion °
equation


                        Q2      h           \a
       Q - Q  - c  L  	W0 0 + 7^- + h  -hi  =0       (37)

for Y > h .
         w

This equation can be solved for Q  in terms of the known
inflow Q.  Since the equation canSot be solved explicitly
for Q , it is determined in the computer program by the
metho9 of bisection.

Three types of orifice shapes are modeled at present:

     1.  rectangular (a rectangular gate sliding over a
         rectangular opening),

     2.  segment of a circle  (a rectangular gate sliding
         over a circular opening), and
                             408

-------
     3.  crescent  (a circular gate sliding over a circular
         opening).

The area of the orifice A  is determined by the orifice opening
if the depth of water is °deeper than the top of the orifice,
or by the depth of water itself if it is below the top of the
orifice.

The area of the rectangular opening is simply
where
       A  = W  h                                          (38)
        °    o  g
       W  = width of rectangular orifice, ft
The area of a segment of a circle is


            D2
       A  = -§•  (0 - sin 9)                                (39)

            formed by top of gate or water surface, radians,
            0 < 6 < 27r

The angle 6 is computed from

            0 if h  < 0

            2ir if h  > D                                  (40)

This relationship is valid for all values of h  between  0
and D   (or all angles of 6 between 0 and 2ir) . "


The leaping weir consists of an opening in tha invert of the
combined sewer.  Intercepted flow drops through the opening
to enter the dry-weather outlet.  At high flow rates, a  por-
tion of the flow leaps across the opening and continues  to
the stormwater outlet.  At present it is assumed that no
                              409

-------
overflow occurs until the flow in the pipe reaches the capacity
of the sanitary outlet as given by the orifice equation
     Qmin = co Ao

where

        Y = normal depth of flow in combined sewer, ft

       h  = depth of invert of sanitary outlet below invert
        0   of combined sewer, ft

     Q .   = minimum combined flow rate for overflow to occur,


and the remaining variables are defined as before.

The normal depth Y for the combined inflow Q to the leaping
weir is computed from Manning's equation as described else-
where.  A  is taken as the smaller of the areas of the sani-
tary outlet or combined invert opening.

The intercepted flow is then computed from

            Q if Q < Q min

                                                          (42)
Qw=<
              - Qmin if Q > Qmin
where

       Q  = intercepted flow through sanitary outlet, cfs


From continuity,
where
       QQ = Q - Qw                                        (43)
       Q  = combined overflow, cfs
This is a very crude approximation of the leaping weir flow
diversion and probably results in overestimates of the inter-
cepted flows.  It neglects the velocity of approach of the
combined flow and the geometry of the opening in the combined
sewer invert.
                             410

-------
Control regulators encompass all types of diversion struc-
tures which have controllable gates and/or weirs that can be
adjusted continuously or at periodic intervals to divert the
incoming combined flow to the diversion structure.  The per-
cent diversion, that is the fraction of the inflow that is to
be intercepted by the sanitary sewer, is determined by the
control optimization.  The real-time control optimization
determines the amount of flow division at each control regu-
lator for each time interval, so that the total mass of pol-
lutant overflow from the entire sewerage system during a
storm is minimized.

Storage Facilities

A storage facility can be specified anywhere on the overflow
outlet of a diversion structure.  In-line storage facilities
are not simulated.  Only the inflow and cumulative storage
volume are computed.  The real-time control optimization
determines the optimal allocation of available storage space
during the inflow period of a rainstorm but neglects the
optimal emptying of the facility during or after the rain-
storm.

Water Quality

Up to seven arbitrary conservative water quality constituents
can be simulated.  The quality of the dry-weather flow is
specified by input data defining average concentrations and
24 hourly, seven daily, and up to six seasonal adjustment
factors.  The average value is multiplied by the hourly, daily,
and seasonal adjustment factors to obtain a value for a given
hour of a weekday and season, and then interpolated linearly
between the values at the beginning and end of the hour to
obtain the concentration for a given time step.

The stormwater quality is computed from the storm runoff by
the linear regression equation
        M =
            O for q  < O
                     ~
3 ~                                   (44)
            Kl + K2qs + K3Vs f°r
where

 K,,K9,K_ = empirical coefficients
  -L  &  j

       q  = stormwater runoff rate per unit catchment
            area at time t, cfs/acre
                            411

-------
       vs -/V(t)dt
          = cumulative volume of storm runoff per unit area
            from beginning of runoff until time t, ft3/acre

        M = pollutant mass flow rate per unit area at time
            t, Ib/hr/acre

The coefficient values have to be determined for each modeled
pollutant by regression between measured storm runoff and
quality.

The mass flow rate of each pollutant for the dry-weather and
stormwater runoff are then added to obtain the combined in-
flow at each inlet.  Mass flow routing in the sewers is
accomplished by simple advection according to the kinematic
wave travel time computed by Equation 33.  Although this
moves the pollutants faster than the actual mass travel time,
this assumption was necessary to facilitate the optimization
scheme for real-time control of overflow regulators.  A
pseudo-dispersion is attained by averaging consecutive mass
flow rate values at the end of each sewer reach.  At regu-
lators, the mass flow rates are divided in proportion to the
flow diversion.  In storage facilities, the mass of each
pollutant is simply accumulated.  No other computations,
such as chemical reactions or interactions, are performed.
Wastewater treatment is computed independently for each pol-
lutant by linear interpolation of tables relating discharge,
concentration and percent removal of a pollutant.

CHICAGO FLOW SIMULATION PROGRAM

Summary

The Chicago Flow Simulation Program is intended primarily for
the simulation of large catchments consisting of both sewered
and nonsewered areas (Lanyon and Jackson, 1972 and 1974).  It
simulates the time-varying runoff in combined sewerage systems
and nonurban drainage basins consisting of several catchments
and a converging branch sewer and open channel network.  The
flow routing formulation for natural channels includes provi-
sions for flow and storage in flood plains.  The model can
perform continuous simulation using hourly or shorter time
steps.  Water quality, real-time control, and design features
are not included.

Watershed Representation

The watershed being modeled is defined by a system of open
channel and closed conduit reaches.  It is suggested that the
                             412

-------
reach network of natural streams be defined by permanent and
intermittent streams shown by blue lines on a USGS 7-1/2 min-
ute quadrangle map.  All forks in the channel network are
considered ends of reaches and the maximum length of any
single reach is restricted to 3 km (2 mi).

The model simulates a maximum of two upstream reaches to be
connected directly to one downstream reach.  Reaches are
defined by the x and y coordinates of the upstream and down-
stream ends of open channels or closed conduits.  The model
was designed for catchments larger than  5 km^  (2 mi ).

Snowmelt

Snowmelt is computed by a method of the U.S. Bureau of Recla-
mation from precipitation, daily average air temperature and
daily average wind velocity.  The snowmelt computations assume
a linear relationship between snowpack depth and accumulated
water content:
       s  = 147.4 - 0.474pw
                                                  (45)
where
       s  = snowpack depth in percent of initial depth


       p  = accumulated water content in percent of initial
            water content

It is assumed that drainage from the snow occurs only after
the snowpack has reached a specified threshold density.  The
conditions of the snowpack at the adopted threshold density
can be computed by the following three equations derived from
Equation 45:
      Pwt ' 147'4dPt/(Pso


      syt = 147'4dso/(pso
                                                  (46)

      p   = density of initial dry snowpack in percent
       s o

      p   = threshold density of compacted wet snowpack
       P    in percent

      p .  = threshold density of dry snow in compacted wet
            snowpack in percent

The procedure requires knowledge of the initial snow depth and
density.  For succeeding time steps, the precipitation in
inches of water or inches of snow and its density must be
known.  The potential snowmelt during each time step is com-
puted by the empirical relationships

       s  = (0.029 + 0.0084k u + 0.007r,)(T  - 32) + 0.09   (49)

Runoff from Pervious Areas of Nonsewered Catchments

Infiltration losses on pervious areas of nonsewered catch-
ments are computed at 15-minute intervals by an empirical
function of rainfall or snowmelt, catchment shape, and soil
moisture:

            Kn A  r.
       f  -  1  P  t
       *j ~ 4 L    s                                      (51)

where

       f . = the 15-minute infiltration, in.


       r. = hourly rainfall, in.


       A  = pervious drainage area, acres


       KI = empirical coefficient


       L  = length of open channel reach of catchment, ft
        C

        s = soil moisture, in.

The change in soil moisture due to evapotranspiration and deep
percolation is assumed to be proportional to the air tempera-
ture and the available soil moisture:
       s" = f. + s1
                            T  - 50 ]
                    K  (1 + -S--	)                  (52)
where
       T  = average daily air temperature, °F

    K
2/K3 = empirical coefficients
    s1,s" = soil moisture at beginning and end of 15-minute
            time step, in.

The total hourly infiltration is the sum of the four 15-minute
infiltrations:
                                                          (53)
where
       f  = hourly infiltration, in.
Linear storage routing is used to compute overland flow on the
pervious areas of nonsewered catchments.  The surface runoff
is assumed to be proportional to the overland flow storage,
ground slope, and flow distance and independent of the surface
characteristics  (roughness) :
                              415

       S  = ground surface slope of catchment, ft/ft
        v_-

The overland flow storage at every time step is defined by

       V" = v1 + r  - f  - q
        P    P    t    p   Mp

where

    V',V" = overland flow storage on pervious areas of non-
     ^  "   sewered catchment at beginning and end of hour, in.

Runoff from Impervious Areas of Nonsewered Catchments

No moisture losses are computed for impervious areas of non-
sewered catchments.  The surface runoff is assumed to be a
fraction of the overland flow storage neglecting catchment
shape, slope, and roughness:
       qi = K5 Vi                                         (56)
where
       q. = hourly surface runoff from impervious area of
        1   nonsewered catchment, in.

       KR = empirical coefficient

       V. = overland flow storage on impervious areas of
        1   nonsewered catchment, in.

The storage on the impervious surface at every time step is
computed from

       V'.' = V! + r. - q.                                  (57)
        i    i    t   ^i
                              416

-------
where

    V! ,V'.' = overland flow storage on impervious areas of
            nonsewered catchment at beginning and end of
            hour, in.

Runoff from Pervious and Impervious Areas of Sewered Catchments

The model assumes that for sewered catchments all of the rain-
fall or snowmelt on impervious areas and a constant fraction
of the rainfall or snowmelt on pervious areas becomes surface
runoff during the same hour:

       qs = 3630 rt(Ai + 0.3A )                           (58)


where

       q  = hourly surface runoff rate from impervious and
        s   pervious area of sewered catchment, ft^

       A. = impervious area of catchment, acres

This formulation neglects the effects of catchment shape, slope,
and roughness on the surface runoff.

Wastewater inflow to the sewers is computed by

       qd - qj Pc                                        (59)

where

       q, = hourly dry-weather or sanitary wastewater in-
            flow to sewer reach, ft^

       q. = wastewater flow during j-th hour of day,
        ^   ft3/hr/capita

       P  = catchment population

Channel and Conduit Flow Routing

The model assumes a nonsewered catchment drained by an open
channel if Manning's roughness coefficient is greater than
0.019 and a sewered catchment drained by a closed conduit if
Manning's roughness coefficient is less than 0.019.  It con-
sequently does not simulate flows in open channels draining
sewered areas or in closed conduits draining nonsewered areas.

The total inflow (from a nonsewered catchment) into the up-
stream end of an open channel reach is given by
                             417

-------
        I = 3600Q + 3630  (q A  + q.A.)                    (60)

where
        I = total hourly inflow into upstream end of sewer

The flow routing is formulated for trapezoidal open channels
and flood plains of trapezoidal cross section and for circular
closed conduits using a storage routing technique.  The change
in channel or conduit storage is computed from

       V" = V + I - Q                                    (62)

where

    V ,V" = volume stored in reach at beginning and end of
            hour , f t-3

        I = total hourly inflow into upstream end of reach, ft

        Q = total hourly outflow from downstream end of
            reach, ft^

The channel or conduit discharge is defined by Manning's
equation :

        A = cross-sectional area of flow, ft

        P = wetted perimeter, ft

        S = slope of channel or conduit invert, ft/ft

The outflow from the channel or conduit reach is then simply

        Q = 3600Q*                                        (64)

Appropriate geometric relationships are defined for the cross-
sectional area of flow and for the wetted perimeter of trape-
zoidal channels and flood plains.  For circular closed con-
duits, it is assumed that the discharge varies linearly with
the depth of flow.  If the depth of flow is computed to be
greater than the pipe diameter (i.e., the pipe surcharges)
then the model assumes a discharge equal to full pipe flow
under free surface flow conditions.  Geometric relationships
also define the volume of water stored in the reach for both
open channels, flood plains and closed conduits.

Storage Facilities

A storage facility can be specified anywhere at the end of a
channel or pipe reach.  The model formulation assumes that all
inflow exceeding a specified maximum outflow value is stored.
If water is stored and the inflow falls below the maximum out-
flow value, the outflow is set equal to the maximum outfall
value until the storage volume is reduced to zero.  Thereafter
the outflow is set equal to the inflow if the inflow becomes
less than the maximum specified outflow value.

DORSCH CONSULT HYDROGRAPH-VOLUME METHOD

Summary

The Dorsch Consult Hydrograph-Volume Method simulates the
time-varying runoff in combined sewerage systems consisting
of several catchments and a converging branch and looping
sewer and open channel network (Ritter and Warg, 1971; Koniger
and Klym, 1972; Koniger et al., 1972; Klym et al., 1972;
Mevius, 1973; Dorsch Consult, 1973; and Klym, 1975).  The flow
routing is based on a simplified solution of the full dynamic
wave equations and simulates backwater, surcharging, and
pressure flow, but not flow reversal.  The model simulates
diversion structures and storage basins.  The model is limited
to the simulation of single runoff events.  Water quality,
real-time control, and design features are not included.

Catchment Surface Runoff

Either measured rainfall or design rainfall intensities com-
puted by regression analysis of measured rainfall are pro-
vided as input data.  The hyetographs may be defined by dis-
crete rainfall intensities at constant or variable intervals
or be various depth-duration frequency formulas, e.g., the
Eltinge formula.

Storm runoff from urban watersheds is computed separately for
pervious and impervious surfaces using the kinematic wave
equation:

continuity equation:
       9t           3A
                      c
and Manning's equation:

where

        y = water depth, m

        r = rainfall intensity, m/sec

        f = infiltration intensity, m/sec

        n = Manning's roughness coefficient

       S  = catchment slope, m/m


       L  = catchment length, m

        e = evapotranspiration, m/sec

        h = depression storage, m
                             420

-------
Both equations are solved iteratively.

Infiltration and the filling and emptying of surface depressions
are simulated separately for roofs, streets and for pervious
surfaces subject to both infiltration and depression storages.
The infiltration rate, for instance, is only reached when the
given depth is supplied by precipitation and/or surface stor-
age.  As the surface depression depths differ greatly, runoff
begins when the shallowest depressions are filled.  After
rainfall ceases, the puddles on impervious surfaces are re-
duced by evaporation and those on pervious surfaces slowly
drain through infiltration.  The individual tributary areas
are characterized by combinations of the above three surface
types.  The hydrographs of the three surface types are super-
imposed according to the relative portion of each surface to
obtain the tributary area hydrograph.

Channel and Conduit Flow Routing

Flow routing in closed conduits and open channels of various
cross sections is accomplished by an implicit finite differ-
ence solution of the dynamic wave equations for unsteady
gradually varied open channel flow  (St. Venant equations) :

momentum equation:
          + 55      +      +

        A = cross-sectional area of flow, m

        g = acceleration due to gravity, m/sec

        v = average velocity of flow, m/sec

       S  = energy slope, m/m

        S = invert slope, m/m

       v  = average velocity of tributary inflow, m/sec
                             421

-------
       Q  = tributary inflow at the sewer inlet, m /sec
        \^r

        a = angle between the flow through the sewer inlet and
            the flow in the sewer

        Q = flow rate in the sewer, m /sec

        Y = depth of flow in the sewer, m

These two equations describe the flow process in one network
element, such as a sewer section, stormwater overflow structure,
or retention basin.  The energy slope Se is calculated using
the customary Manning or Prandtl-Colebrook equations.  All
additional losses, for example through manholes, unclean sewers,
bends and curves, etc., are included in the friction factor.

Principles of mass and energy conservation are used to obtain
the necessary equations for solving the flow conditions at
sewer junctions.  The simplest nodal point used in the program
is one inflow and one outflow, and the maximum case consists of
three inflowing and two outflowing sewers.

The equations for the simplest nodal point (one inflow, one
outflow) are as follows:

continuity equation:

      Oil = Qo2                                          <68>

The system of equations is solved by an iterative method.   It
starts with estimated flow depths to calculate unknown dis-
charges in the downstream direction and then the corresponding
depths in the upstream direction.  The entire procedure is
repeated with the help of convergence formulations until the
convergence criteria are fulfilled.  Normally not more than
30 iterations are necessary to obtain convergence.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL

Summary

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Stormwater Manage-
ment Model is one of the most comprehensive mathematical models
available for the simulation of storm and combined sewerage
systems.  It computes the combined storm and sanitary runoff
from several catchments and routes the flows through a converg-
ing branch sewer network (Metcalf & Eddy et al., 1971).  Flow
diversion structures can be modeled and storage can be simu-
lated for both inline and overflow retention basins.  An
additional feature is a receiving water model which includes
nonsteady formulations of hydrodynamics and mass transport
for two-dimensional  (vertically mixed) water bodies receiving
sewerage system effluents.

Both dry-weather and stormwater quality are computed for sus-
pended and settleable solids, biochemical and chemical oxygen
demand, coliform bacteria, phosphorus, nitrogen, and oil and
grease for each modeled catchment and routed through the

-------
sewerage system.  Mathematical formulations which simulate
various combinations of overflow treatment processes for one
treatment facility are included to evaluate the effectiveness
of overflow treatment.  The model does not include real-time
control and design features.  The model is limited to the simu-
lation of single runoff events and inline treatment cannot be
simulated.  Cost functions are built into the program to com-
pute the cost of overflow storage and treatment.

Watershed Representation

The watershed being modeled is conceptually represented by a
network of hydraulic elements (i.e., catchments, gutters and
pipes) .  A catchment is envisioned as a unit of uniform water-
shed characteristics, such as surface cover and ground slope.
Each catchment is defined by area, width, ground slope, the
detention depth requirements, the roughness factor (such as
Manning's coefficient), and the coefficients describing the
infiltration loss by Horton ' s equation.  Gutters and pipes
are characterized by the Manning's coefficient, length, invert
slope,  and geometric description of the network.

Stormwater Runoff

Each catchment is split into pervious areas and impervious areas
with and without surface detention for runoff computations from
rainfall.  Instant runoff is assumed from impervious areas with-
out detention, no infiltration is computed on impervious areas
with detention, and the full computations outlined below are
used for pervious areas.

For pervious areas and impervious areas with detention, the
depth of overland flow is computed by
               + rt At                                  (74)
where
    y',y" = overland flow depth of the catchment at
            beginning and end of time interval At, ft

       r  = rainfall intensity during time interval At, ft/sec

       At = time interval, sec

The potential infiltration rate on pervious areas is computed
by Horton 's exponential function:


        f = fe + 
-------
where



        f = potential infiltration at time t, ft/sec



       f  = inintial infiltration rate, ft/sec



       f  = equilibrium infiltration rate, ft/sec



        e = base of natural logarithm



        k = constant based on soil and vegetation, sec



An intermediate water depth, yt, after accounting for infiltra-

tion, is given by



       yt = y' - f At                                    (76)




If the value of y^ in the catchment is larger than the avail-

able detention depth, overland flow is computed using Manning's

equation:
                                                         (77,




and



       qs = vc Wc(yt - h)                                (78)

       v  = velocity of overland flow, fps

       q  = stormwater runoff from catchment, cfs
        O


        h = detention depth, ft



The water depth in the subcatchment resulting from the rainfall,

infiltration, and outflow after time interval At is:
       y" = y1 -  ^  At                                (79)

        (_*

Gutter Flows

The depth of water in a gutter resulting from the inflow and
outflow is computed as follows.  The rate of inflow into a
gutter, q,-, is the summation of the tributary subcatchments'
outflow, qs, and the flow rate of the immediate upstream gutter,
i , so that
The water depth at the upstream end of the gutter after time
interval At is

Flows that reach the point of concern are added to produce a
hydrograph ordinate for each succeeding time period until the
complete hydrograph is computed.

Dry-Weather Runoff

The quantity and quality of dry-weather flow (sanitary runoff)
is estimated from three data categories:  drainage basin data,
subarea data, and decision and adjustment parameters.  The
dry-weather flow from commercial and industrial areas is esti-
mated from water use values.  The dry-weather flow from resi-
dential areas is computed from regression equations.

For metered dwelling units with public sewer:

       q, = 206 + 3.47 V  - 1.30 P                      (85)

       V  = market value of the dwelling unit, thousands

       P  = sum of water and sewerage charges


For flat rate dwelling units and apartments with public sewers;

       q, = 28.9 + 4.39 V  + 33.6 P                     (86)

       qd = 30.2 + 39.5 PU                              (87)
                             427

-------
Infiltration into Sewers

Infiltration into sewers is assumed to be a part of the dry-
weather flow but it is computed separately.  The effect of
infiltration upon quality is assumed negligible, unless the
water is known to be contaminated by passage through soils
with significant soluble impurities (of the type being modeled)
Quantitatively, infiltration is assumed to include moisture
from miscellaneous sources causing a base dry-weather inflow,
frozen residual moisture, antecedent precipitation, and high
groundwater .  If the groundwater table is below the sewer
invert, infiltration is defined by

       qf = fd + fr + fs                                (88)

where

       qf = total infiltration, cfs

       f, = dry-weather infiltration, cfs

       f  = wet-weather infiltration - f,, cfs

       f  = melting residual ice and snow infiltration, cfs
        is

       f  = groundwater infiltration, cfs


If the groundwater table rises above the sewer invert, the
groundwater infiltration predominates and is determined by
the regression equation



       £  '      "     B                                (89)
where

       G  = groundwater elevation above sewer invert, ft

       a . = coefficient for j-th term in equation

       B. = power to which ¥„. is raised in j-th term
        ]   (e.g., 0,1,2,1/2 for j = 0,1,2, and 3,
            respectively)

The wet-weather infiltration is estimated from antecedent pre-
cipitation using the following linear relationship

       fr = a + a0 r0 + al rl + ... ag rg               (90)
                              428

-------
where


       fr = QS - fd - Qd

       a  = coefficient to rainfall for n days prior to
        n   estimate, n = 0,1,....9

       r  = precipitation on n days prior to estimate, in.

       Q, = daily average sewer flow excluding surface
            runoff, gpm

       Q, = sewage flow, gpm


Residual melting ice and frost infiltration is determined by
       fs =
            0.0 if the day under study is not in the
            melting period; that is, the number of
            degree days does not exceed 750
where
       s  = residual moisture peak contribution, cfs

       N.  = day on which infiltration estimate is desired

       N,  = day on which melting period begins; that is,
            number of degree days exceeding 750

       N  = day on which melting period ends

After the total infiltration, q^, has been computed, this flow
must be apportioned throughout the designated study area.  The
opportunity factor, F, which represents the relative number
and length of openings susceptible to infiltration, determines
the criterion for apportionment:

                      Z/     j  • j.  \  / number  of   \
                        conduit    / JQints  in   \         (92)

        Y = depth, ft

        g = gravitational acceleration, ft/sec

        S = invert slope, ft/ft

        Q = flow rate, cfs

        A = flow area, ft

        R = hydraulic radius, ft

        n = Manning's roughness coefficient

This formulation neglects backwater effects, which may be
appreciable for low slopes.  To improve the predictions but
retain the kinematic wave formulation's simplicity, the
terms of the dynamic wave equation are used in defining the
friction slope for the full-flow computation:

Surcharging is approximated by storing water exceeding the
full pipe flow capacity in the next upstream manhole.  No
further upstream propagation of the surcharging is computed.
The program execution terminates if the storage capacity of
the manhole is exceeded.

Backwater is approximated by routing a portion of the flow
normally through the conduit and allocating the rest to stor-
age by specifying a storage element.  The flow division is
computed by
       Q-L = Q \P                                         (HO)

and

       Q2 = Q - Q1                                       (HI)

where

       Q.. = flow directly into storage, cfs

       Q  = flow routed through conduit, cfs
                              432

-------
       Q = inflow to backwater element, cfs

       p = ratio of current to maximum storage volume in
           the downstream storage element

Diversion Structures

Three types of flow diversion structures are modeled.  The
formulations neglect downstream effects on the flow division

The flow diversion by the first type specifies that a diver-
sion occurs only if a given inflow is exceeded.  At that
point, the nondiverted flow remains constant and the surplus
is diverted:
      Q0 = Q

      Q  =0.0
       o    max
       w        max
                            if Q < Q_                  (112)
                            if Q >
                                    max

where

       Q = inflow to diversion structure, cfs

      Q  = undiverted flow, cfs


      Q  = diverted flow, cfs
       w

    Q    = maximum undiverted flow, cfs  (provided as input
     max   data)

The same relationship is assumed for a cunnette type flow
divider, except that the value of Qmax is computed internally
as a function of the sewer size, assuming that the full flow
capacity of the divider pipe is one-half of the main sewer.

Equation 112 is used to define the continuity relationships
between inflow and outflow of weir diversion structures, but
the diverted flow is computed from the weir formula and a
linear flow-depth relationship:


      Q  = c L H1'5                                     (113)

Pumping Stations

Lift stations are assumed to operate when wet well volume
reaches a designated value which actuates a single, constant-
discharge pump.  Pumping continues until the wet well is
emptied.  Flooding caused when wet well capacity is exceeded
is not considered.

Storage Facilities

Flows are routed through storage facilities by solving the
continuity equation in conjunction with a weir or orifice
equation for the outlet of the storage facility:

continuity equation:

       0.5  (I1 + I") At = 0.5  (Q1 + Q") At +  (V" - V)   (115)

where

       L  = length of weir, ft


       Y  = depth of flow above weir crest, ft


Water Quality

The modeled water quality constituents are BOD, COD, sus-
pended solids, settleable solids, coliforms, phosphorus,
nitrogen, and oil and grease.  Average daily values and the
quality of dry-weather flow are either computed from measured
values or from average per capita values.  Hourly variations
in the dry-weather flow quality are computed by adjusting the
daily average values using hourly variation factors.

The stormwater quality computations consider the quantity of
pollutants on each subcatchment before the storm event and
the rate of their removal during the storm.  The pounds of
pollutant washed off in any time interval, At, are assumed to
be proportional to the pounds remaining on the ground.  It is
further assumed that a uniform rate of 1/2 in./hr would wash
away 90 percent of the pollutant in 1 hr.  This leads to the
equation


       M  - M = M (1 - e~4'46 qst)                       (118)

How much dirt and dust accumulates on the ground before

 Pollutant concentrations  in the  sewer are  initialized by
 the quality of the wastewater  inflows diluted by  infiltra-
 tion, which is assumed to contain no pollutants.  These
 pollutants are then routed through  the  sewer system, with
 accounting for decay during transit.  The  model is based
 on the assumptions that mixing within each sewer  element
 in the system is  instantaneous and  complete and the non-
 conservative pollutants decay  according to a first-order
 reaction.

Sedimentation, scour and water quality reactions are not simu-
lated in storage facilities.  The pollutant loads are traced
and redistributed using complete mixing or plug flow options.

Nine unit treatment processes at or near a sewer outfall can be
modeled in any combination.  Storage, either alone or combined
with sedimentation, may be used to reduce the hydraulic capacity
of the treatment units and is included in the model .  The
removal efficiency of each unit treatment process is defined
by internal empirical equations for each pollutant.  Only a
few physical dimensions of the treatment facilities have to
be provided as input data.

The amount of chemicals added is defined as 12 mg/1.

       C,  = BOD concentration, ppm

       k, = 1 if chemicals are added or 0 if not added

       k2 = 1 if chlorine is added or 0 if not added

The model restricts the BOD removal to not less than 0.18 and
not more than 0.60.  The amount of chlorine is defined as
10 mg/1 if the BOD of the influent is 130 or less and as
15 mg/1 if it is more.

If the dissolved air flotation process is preceded by fine
screens, a different removal efficiency is applied to the fine
screen effluent.  It is assumed that fine screens remove 27
percent of the suspended solids and 22 percent of the BOD.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY URBAN WATERSHED MODEL

Summary

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Urban Watershed
Model (MITCAT) simulates the time-varying runoff of several
catchments and a converging sewer and open channel network,
including loops and converging and diverging branches (Harley
et al.,  1970).  The model can simulate only single runoff events,
Water quality and real-time control features are not included.

A separate model includes design features to compute the sizes
and costs of sewers, storage and treatment facilities which
will result in the least-cost combination of alternatives for
the elimination of untreated overflows and the reduction of
flooding and surcharging (Kirshen et al., 1972),

The original model was developed at MIT for the U.S. Office of
Water Resources Research but the model has been modified by
Resource Analysis, Inc., for its routine application (Schaake
et al.,  1973) .

Watershed Representation

The model replaces the natural complexities with a number of
simple elements such as overland flow planes, stream segments,
pipe lengths,  etc.  A suitable combination of these simple
elements is assumed sufficient to model the behavior of an
entire catchment.  Two basic runoff elements were chosen.
Flow distribution over the surface of the catchment is modeled
as planes of overland flow.  The inputs to an overland flow
plane can be spatially uniform lateral inflow from rainfall,
lateral outflow to infiltration, and upstream inflow from
adjacent overland flow segments.  Flow from the overland flow
planes is collected by streamflow segments as lateral inflow
and then passed downstream to other stream segments.  The term
stream is used in a generic sense and may include any open or
closed form of conveyance.

Stormwater Runoff

Several alternative representations of infiltration are avail-
able in the MIT catchment model.  These are

     1.   Horton's equation

     2.   Holtan's method

     3.   U.S.  Soil Conservation Service method

     4.   Runoff coefficient method
                             442

-------
The runoff coefficient method assumes that the potential infil-
tration f(t) at time t is a portion of the rainfall rate r(t)
at that time:

     f(t)  = B(t) r(t)                                    (137)

where 3(t) depends on the antecedent precipitation volume V
calculated over the past N days and the rainfall depth during
the storm up to time t:
     B(t) = 1 - exp
a V^ + /_  r(t)  dt
   r
(138)
where a is determined from observed volumes of rainfall and
runoff or from past experience in the region.

Each of the methods permits initial infiltration rates to
depend on some measure of antecedent soil moisture and to vary
with time during the storm.

These methods are applied differently to the input rainfall.
For methods 3 and 4 the infiltration is subtracted from the
rainfall to obtain an effective rainfall which is then input
to the catchment element.  For methods 1 and 2 the original
rainfall is applied directly to the catchment and then the
infiltrated portion is subtracted within the routing through
the element.

The kinematic wave equation is used for overland flow routing:


          = (r - f)/43200                                (139)

The routing procedure used to represent pipe flow is an
adaptation of the flow routing methods developed for EPA'S
Stormwater Management Model.  The model has the capability
of routing through all common sewer conduit shapes.  The
solution procedure follows the basic kinematic wave approach
used in other routing elements.  The problem of flow routing
is basically one of determining the downstream conditions
(flow and area) in a conduit, given the upstream conditions
and the conditions at the previous time step:

        n = Manning's  roughness  coefficient

        R = hydraulic  radius,  ft

       S  = energy slope,  ft/ft


In order to improve the  accuracy of results at low slopes,
additional dynamic terms for  the water surface and velocity
head slopes are included in the  slope term of Manning's
equation.  The energy  slope is computed as follows:


       '.-*-£-!£                               <»»

        S = invert slope,  ft/ft

        g = gravitational  constant, ft/sec

A normalized continuity  equation in finite difference form
using the dimensionless  area  a and the dimensionless flow
rate ¥ is

       ¥ + F^a + F2 =  0                                  (152)


where F^ and F2 are variables that may be computed at any
time step from the known upstream conditions and the condi-
tions in the previous  time step.  Equations 150 and 152 may
then be solved for a and ^ by determining the intersection
of the straight line -Fiot-F2  with the normalized flow area
relationship developed from Manning's equation.  Since a
represents the ratio of  the cross-sectional area A of flow
to the full-flow area  and Y represents the ratio of the flow
Q to the full flow value,  the current time step values of A
and Q are directly determined from a and ¥.

Thus, the kinematic wave approach allows simple finite
difference solutions of  the unsteady flow equations governing
typical sewer flow.  In  this  form all disturbances propagate
only in the downstream direction.  As a result, precise simu-
lation of transient backwater conditions is not possible.
Backwater effects are  included for flow routing in a given
conduit element by means of an iterative flow averaging

scheme.  However, since upstream conduits are routed indepen-
dently of those downstream a continuous backwater profile is
not simulated.  Backwater effects due to ponding as a result
of a flow control structure can be simulated more directly
by a combination of conduit routing and in-system storage.

Pressure-flow conditions are not modeled in this flow routing
procedure.  Surcharging is represented to an extent, however,
by storing flows in excess of the full flow capacity at an
upstream manhole (an assumed upstream manhole is associated
with every pipe element) until sewer capacity exists to
accept the stored volume.

SOGREAH LOOPED SEWER MODEL

Summary

The Looped Sewer Model of the French consulting firm Societe
Grenobloise d'Etudes et d1Applications Hydrauliques  (SOGREAH)
simulates the time-varying runoff of combined sewerage systems
consisting of several catchments and a sewer and open channel
network including loops and converging and diverging branches
(SOGREAH, 1973 - 5 reports).  The model includes formulations
for most hydraulic phenomena encountered in closed conduit
and open channel networks.  The flow routing solves the
dynamic wave equations coupled with equations for special
sewer system facilities, such as diversion structures, pumping
stations, inverted siphons, and retention basins.  The solu-
tion considers both upstream and downstream boundary conditions,
backwater, surcharging, pressure flow, and flow reversal.

The model appears to be limited to the simulation of single
runoff events.  Water quality, real-time control and design
features are not included.  This is a proprietary model and
not all details of the model formulations are available.  The
firm has North American branch offices in New York City and
Lasalle, Quebec, Canada.

Catchment Runoff

Dry-weather flow data for each inlet are input in the form of
hydrograph values at constant time intervals.  Storm runoff
is computed from hyetographs provided as input or from design
storms on the basis of frequency of occurrence and catchment
characteristics.  Options exist to use two different methods
to compute design storms.

Using the first method, the maximum rainfall is computed by
the formula:
                              447

-------
     rmax = r Ac

where

     r    = maximum rainfall of frequency F, m /sec
      max


        r = average rainfall intensity of selected
            duration and frequency, m/sec

       A  = catchment drainage area, ha
        c

Using the second method, the maximum catchment rainfall is
computed by a formula suggested by Caquot:


     r    = Sa pb AC                                    (154)
      max    c ^i  c                                    vj-j-*/

where

       S  = slope of main drainage channel, percent
        \^r

       p. = fraction of total drainage area which is
            impervious

    a,b,c = universal empirical coefficients independent
            of location

Using either method, the maximum rainfall is transformed into
a design rainfall hyetograph by
       r  = a t                                          (155)
where
       r  = rainfall intensity at time t, m /sec

      a, 3 = empirical coefficients

The empirical coefficients in this equation are determined by
regression analysis of measured rainfall and runoff data.

Either measured or design hyetographs are then transformed
into rainfall excess hyetographs by the rational formula or
Horton's equation.  The runoff coefficient of the rational
formula can be computed with the equation

       c1 = 0.14 + 0.65 p. + 0.05 S                      (156)
                         1         C
                             448

Overland flow routing is accomplished by the Muskingum method:
       Q" = C;L I1 + c2 I" + c3 Q1                        (157)
where
    Q1 ,Q" = catchment runoff at the beginning and end of
            a time step, respectively, m^
    I1, I" = rainfall excess or upstream inflow at beginning
            and end of time step, m /sec

 c,,Cp,c^ = Muskingum routing coefficients


The Muskingum routing coefficients are defined by

       c  =   2 KX + At
       Cl   2K  (1 - X) + At

              At - 2 KX
       C2   2K  (1 - X) + At

          = 2K  (1 - X) - At                              .
       C3   2K  (1 - X) + At                              UbU'

where

       At = time step, sec

        X = 0.2 (empirical coefficient)

        K = lag time , sec

A first approximation of the lag time is computed with an
equation suggested by Schaake and Geyer which considers
physical catchment characteristics:

            1.40 L-24

are available.  If measurements are not available, the Caquot
adaptation of the rational formula is used:

        v = mean velocity in a section, m/sec

        Y = water stage, m
                                   2
        A = cross-sectional area, m

        Q = vA = discharge, m /sec

        K = conveyance factor

The length of the computational time steps can be varied
throughout the simulated period to save computation time.
Longer time steps are used during periods of small changes
in flow and shorter time steps for fast rising or falling
hydrographs.

The program can simulate unsteady flow in any looped and
branching network of sewers.  The only limits are imposed by
the computer equipment.  Each sewer is divided into a certain
                             450

-------
number of computational points where discharges  (and/or veloc-
ities) and water stages are computed.  Any common structure
can be simulated, including weirs, lateral weirs, gates
(automatic and time dependent), storage basins linked with
a sewer by gates or weirs, siphons, pumping stations  (pumping
water from one sewer to another), and local head losses.  As
the program is written, nearly any other structure  (such as
an inflatable weir) can be introduced with a minimum loss of
time.  The following sewer cross sections are provided for:
circular, oval, trapezoidal, and arbitrary (defined as a
function of depth).  The formulation computes backwater and
surcharging due to any structure or to any cross-sectional
variation.

WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERS STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL

Summary

The Stormwater Management Model of Water Resources Engineers,
Inc.  (WRE) is a modified version of the Stormwater Management
Model of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  It simu-
lates the time-varying combined storm and sanitary runoff and
wastewater quality of several catchments and a sewer and open
channel network including loops and converging and diverging
branches  (Shubinski and Roesner, 1973).

The flow routing procedure is based on the dynamic wave
equations which consider backwater, flow reversal and both
upstream and downstream flow control.  A special formulation
is built in for the solution of surcharging and pressure
flow.  The solution is coupled with the hydraulic equations
for flow control and diversion structures considering both
upstream and downstream flow conditions.  The model simulates
overflow storage basins but not in-line storage facilities.

Both dry-weather and Stormwater quality are computed for six
constituents:  suspended solids, settleable solids, biochemical
oxygen demand, nitrogen, phosphorus, and oil and grease.  The
pollutants are routed through the sewer system but treatment
processes are not modeled.  The model does not include real-
time control and design features and is limited to the simu-
lation of single runoff events.  A separate model for simu-
lating both flow and quality in receiving waters is available
(Chen and Orlob, 1972).

Watershed Representation

The model takes into account typical characteristics of urban
drainage systems and permits modeling of large areas without
a lot of detailed, geometric data.  The collection system is
                              451

-------
divided into blocks; each block in a catchment is considered
to have similar average characteristics and to be an average
distance from the low point.  This simulates the hydrograph
for both rising and falling limbs more accurately than does
lumping all blocks into one large catchment.  This technique
also permits a reasonably large area to be represented as
only two elements:  a block-sized overland flow element, and
an average length collection element.  The overland flow por-
tion is further subdivided into pervious and impervious parts.

The user is required to specify only a single element with
basic geometric information.  The computer will break this
down into pervious, impervious and collection elements and
provide the required linkages.  For example, dry-weather flows
are assigned to the collection element, while infiltration is
applied mainly to the pervious area.

Catchment Runoff

Dry-weather flow is input as average values which are then
adjusted internally for fluctuations during the day and week.
Storm runoff is computed from rainfall data.

Infiltration is computed by the Horton formula:

                           — Ir-t-
        f = fe +

        c

       n  = Manning's roughness coefficient


       W  = width of the catchment element
        c

The continuity and Manning's equations are solved simulta-
neously by a Newton-Raphson method which handles the nonlin-
ear ity involved.

Conduit and Open Channel Flow Routing

The flow routing requires geometric definition of the net-
work and operating rules for pumps and flow diverters.  Such
items as the flow across weirs or through orifices, the flow
split in looping systems, surcharge conditions, and backwater
are handled automatically by the model and need not be pre-
specified.

The conduit system is represented by a series of links  (pipes)
which are joined at nodes.  Any shape cross section can be
incorporated into the computer program; at present it simulates
                             453

-------
rectangular, circular, horseshoe, basket-handle or eggshape
pipes and trapezoidal open channels.

Conduit and open channel flow routing is accomplished by an
explicit finite difference solution of the dynamic wave equa
tions for nonsteady gradually varied open channel flow  (St.
Venant equations).  The momentum equation is
                 + 2v j£ + v  ^ - gA —-                 (169)

        Q = discharge

        v = velocity

        A = cross-sectional area of the flow

        Y - hydraulic head

       S  = friction slope


        x = distance along conduit

        t = time

The friction slope is expressed as

The term c j— represents the entrance and exit losses in the
conduit.    " The coefficients c^ and 02 are input values,
while subscripts i and j refer to the nodal values at the
ends of the link.  The barred symbols for R, v, and A indicate
a weighted average along the link, e.g.,
   Rt - 1/4 (R.
                           R.)t

      A   = water surface area associated with the node at

When all of the pipes entering a node are at maximum flow, the
node is said to be surcharged.  The usual form of the con-
tinuity equation is not strictly applicable in this case,
because no additional storage is available at the node.  Con-
tinuity then becomes
      ZQt = 0
                                                    (175)
and the earlier form is indeterminate.  The exact change in
hydraulic head cannot be determined directly; the situation
is now a dynamic version of the traditional pipe network
problem.  However, an approximate, first-order correction
                              455

-------
based on the Hardy Cross method can be computed.  The Hardy
Cross head correction for a node is
       AY =                                             (176)
            V (il\
            L \ Y'

where

       AY = change in nodal head for one iteration

        Q = flow in a line entering the node

        Y = pressure drop along that line

        £ = summation over all lines entering node

Successive application of Equation 176 to the nodes of the
pipe network leads to the satisfaction of the continuity
Equation 175.  A derivation similar to that used to obtain
Equation 176, but using the dynamic equation of motion, yields


          -      ZQt
where K = constant, usually taken as 0.25 to introduce some
underrelaxation in the system.  Note that A is the cross-
sectional area of the links; the term
          K
is a measure of the capacity of the system to absorb excess
flow.  It is a kind of equivalent surface area.  For a sur-
charged node, the calculations are carried out using the
above equation, which is identical in form to Equation 174.

Equations 172 and 174 are numerically integrated by a modified
Euler method which yields a completely explicit approach.
The momentum equation is applied to each link and the continuity
equation to each node, entirely without implicit coupling.

Explicit methods involve fairly simple arithmetic and require
little storage space compared to implicit methods, but they
are generally less stable and often require very short time
steps.  Experience showed that a severe stability relation-
ship is required for the solution technique of this model:
                             456

where c = constant determined by experience, usually about
0.10.  When c = 0.10 in the above equation, the rise in water
surface during At should not exceed 0.10 of the depth avail-
able in the pipe.  This criterion is approximate and must be
approached with caution.

The solution of the dynamic wave equation considers special
conditions which may exist all or part of the time in a sewer,

discontinuities.  Second, critical depth may occur in the

       L  = weir length
        Yt
       Y  = driving head on the weir
        v = approach velocity

        a = weir exponent; 3/2 for transverse weirs,
            5/3 for sideflow weirs

Normally, the driving head on the weir is given by

       Y  = Yn - h
        w    1    w
                                                         (180)
where
       YI = water depth upstream of weir


       h  = height of weir crest above invert
                             457

-------
However, several other existing conditions can modify the
situation.  If the downstream water depth also exceeds the
weir crest height, the weir is submerged, and the flow com-
puted by the above weir formula is corrected by applying the
following equation:
                              0.385
        *          / i „ - h_
       Q  = Q
        w   vw
where
        *
       QW = submerged weir discharge

       ¥„ = water depth downstream of weir


If the upstream pipe is surcharged, the weir will behave like
an orifice and the flow is computed by the equation
       Q  - c* L  (Y    - Y )  j2gY  + v2                (182)
        w    w  w \  max    c /  \ ^ w

where
        *
       c  = discharge coefficient for submerged case


     Y    = maximum flow depth
      max

For all of the above cases, the direction of flow may be
reversed under certain conditions.  This does not affect the
equations, except that Y^ and Y  are switched.

An orifice is usually installed as a dropout to divert sani-
tary sewage out of the storm system to an interceptor and to
limit the flow of stormwater into the sanitary system.  Flow
through an orifice is computed by
where
       Q  = c A J§Y~                                     (183)
        o    o ov^ o
       c  = discharge coefficient
       A  = cross-sectional area of orifice
        o
       Y  = driving head on the orifice
                              458

-------
The driving head is usually the depth of flow in the upstream
pipe, Y]_.  For a few installations, when the orifice is side
flowing instead of a dropout, the head difference Y^ ~ Y2 may
control.  The variables Y are defined identically for orifices
and for weirs, and backflow can occur.

A pump is represented conceptually as an off-line storage
node  (the wet well) from which the contents are pumped to
another node according to a programmed rule curve.  One, two,
or three stage pumping is permitted, and the turning on and
off of the pumps is computed automatically.

The program simulates weir outfalls and free outfalls with or
without tide gates.  The characteristics of the weir outfall
were described above.  For truly free outfall, the water sur-
face at the free outfall is taken as critical or normal depth,
whichever is less.  If backwater exists, the receiving water
elevation is taken as the water surface value at the outfall.

Water Quality

The following six water quality constituents are modeled:
suspended solids, settleable solids, biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD), total nitrogen, phosphorus, and oil and grease.  Al-
though this list could be modified within the form of the
existing model, the present arrangement is ordered and linked
to some extent.  For example, BOD is produced both in dis-
solved form and as a percentage of the weights of suspended
and settleable solids.  Hence, the calculations in the program
depend to a small degree on the order of the constituents.

The six water quality constituents are computed for three
sources within the watershed:  dry-weather flow, catchbasin
washout and surface runoff.

Both flow and mass emission rate of the sanitary sewage are
input as average values.  Built-in program functions vary
the average value to account for time and land use differences.
The following land uses are presently included in the program:
single-family residential, multiple-family residential, com-
mercial, industrial, and open (or park).  If the system con-
sists of storm sewers only, all dry-weather flow contributions
are omitted.

Catchbasins collect and store pollutants during dry weather,
flushing rather rapidly in the early hours of a storm.  The
washout of material from the catchbasins is computed by
                              459

-------
            M  I         1.6 V

      AMC = At V1 " e        C /                          (184>

where

      AM  = mass emission rate from catchbasins, mass/unit
            time

       M  = total mass in catchbasins at beginning of time
            interval

       Q  = flow through catchbasins (runoff from pervious
            and impervious areas)

       V  = total catchbasin volume
        c

Surface runoff of pollutants is treated much the same as
catchbasin washout:


       AM = ^ (l - e '4'6 q At)                         (185)


where

       AM = mass emission rate from the watershed

        q = outflow per unit area

        M = mass available at time t

Auxiliary computations account for the efficiency of the
street cleaning process and other minor variations.

Most water quality constituents move in the sewer system by
advective transport.  The differential equation which des-
cribes this process is usually in one of two forms.  In terms
of mass rate of change
          = QC                                           (186)


where

        M = mass

        C = concentration
                             460

where

        v = flow velocity

        V = volume

These equations are completely interchangeable;  some  aspects
of both are used in the numerical solution.

The finite difference form for the concentration change  in  a
conduit is
      AC.     AC

      t^-^-T                                       (188)

where

        L = length of conduit

      AC  = change in concentration along the conduit


      AC. = change in nodal concentration, due only to
        -*   advection in a single conduit

This equation is applied to each conduit entering a node,
provided the flow in that conduit is into the node.   The  con-
centration at the node does not take into account events  which
occur downstream.

Combining the conduit computations at a node, and adding  the
effects of volume change, source-sink contributions,  pumps,
weirs, and orifices produce the total change in concentration
at the node:
      AC .     C .  AV.            AC .      AC.
                  t^^QnAr1^-^1              (189)

       V. = nodal volume

       Q  = flow in conduit
        n


        £ - summation of all source-sinks, pumps, etc.
        o

The latter term in the above equation is computed by a mass
balance technique.

The time history of concentration at all nodes can be ob-
tained by sucessfully integrating Equation 189 through time
in a single step for each time step:


       AC. (t+At) =  C.(t) +(^-)t  At                    (190)
         J           —J      \   /

The integration step, At, must be restricted so that

            L
       At <
            v
(191)
for each conduit, or an unstable solution may occur.  In
practice, this restraint can be violated occasionally with-
out causing the solution to become unstable, although some
error will be introduced.  The model contains a trap to guard
against this occurrence.

Scour, deposition, and decay are not considered during routing.

DORSCH  CONSULT   QUANTITY  -  QUALITY - SIMULATION (QQS)

Summary

The  Dorsch  Consult  QQS-MODEL (Geiger, 1975) allows for continuous simulation
of four conservative water  quality parameters. Runoff and its  pollution from
catchment areas,  characterized as residential, commercial,  industrial  or mixed
areas,  are calculated  by an unit hydrograph  method, modified for  the calculation
of water quality.  Flow routing through the network  is  based on the dynamic wave
equations. Statistical analysis  of  the  results provides annual and  monthly frequency
and  duration curves for  flows  and pollutants at any  node of the network.  Still,
single  event simulation  is possible  providing  pollutographs and hydrographs at
any  node of the network.

The  model is generally applicable to any  urban  drainage basin and to any pollutant.
The  input has been  established for  the  pollution indicating  parameters  BOD and
settleable solids.  Presently efforts are being made  to complete the input sets for
COD,  suspended solids,  bacteria coli and if  possible for nutrients  and chloride.

The  Dorsch  Consult QQS-MODEL  includes the following features:

 1.  continueous simulation or  single  event simulation;
 2.  dry-weather flow  and quality of  several  catchments;
 3.  three rain  records;
 4.  stormwater runoff  and quality from pervious  and
     impervious areas of several catchments;
 5.  routing of  combined  wastewater flow and  quality in
     a  network  of loops  and converging and diverging branches;
 6.  various closed conduit and open  channel  cross-sections,
     but  linearized partial filling curves;
 7.  backwater,  upstream and  downstream flow and  quality
     control, surcharging  and pressure flow;

                                       477

 8. weirs and  diversion structures considering both upstream and
    downstream flow conditions;
 9. pumping stations;
10. retention storage  basins;
11. wastewater quality  improvement at treatment
    plants and overflow treatment facilities;  and
12. statistical  analysis of  results.

The model does not include  the  following  features:

 1. snow accumulation and  melt;
 2. flow  reversal;
 3. detailed flow and  quality routing in gutters;
 4. realtime control;
 5. sedimentation and  scour  in channels;
 6. wastewater quality decay,  reactions  and inter-
    actions in sewers  and receiving waters;
 7. design; and
 8. costs.

Methods

The  surface runoff from small  catchment areas including the flow process through
underlying small sewers, such as street sewers and  laterals  is obtained by  means
of the unit hydrograph method which  is modified, however, for the qualitative
part. The  combined consideration of surface runoff and flow in small sewers and
the use of a systemized network,  each segment  of  which can  be composed by
several sewer elements totaling  a length  of up to 500 m,  result in a tremendous
reduction of network nodes.  The assumption of linearity of the runoff process,
being  sufficiently valid for small  catchment areas,  could not be employed  for
the flow routing through the  system of trunk and interceptor sewers, the flow  be-
haviour of which  may  be  formed by backwater effects and  interaction  of branching
points, retention facilities and overflow structures. Thus, flow routing is based
on the dynamic wave equations. This  combination provides the necessary accuracy
and  still allows for continuous long-time simulation.  The hydrographs and  their
flow velocities  obtained  by the hydraulic calculations form the basis for the
pollutant  transport within  the  network.

In case of outfalls the hydrographs and pollutographs resulting from  the  network
calculations form  the  loading  of the receiving waters.  These  loadings are  applied
at the nodes of a  receiving water  system.  They are superimposed and routed through
this  system according  to the  same principles applied  in the sewer  network. Quality
reactions  and  interactions in  receiving waters,  due to their complexity,  have  to
be treated in  a separate model.

The  results are  the continuous time-dependent pollutant loadings of  receiving
waters. Various properties are subjected to  linear and logarithmic  regression analysis.
Two-dimensional frequency distributions are formed  for  the  three pairs  of variables
showing the best correlations and for  any other  combination of variables given by
input.  All results are printed  in  block form together  with  their relevant statistics
as well as in  computer  generated graphs.
                                      479

-------
In principle at each node of the sewer and receiving  water network a statistical
analysis of hydrographs and  pollutographs can  be produced.  Usually only  a
selection  of the possibilities given  below are desired,  mainly for outfalls,
retention  facilities and treatment plants.  Annual and monthly frequency and
durations  curves of

    by-passed  flows
    intercepted flows
    receiving water  flows
    used  storage capacities
    effluent  pollutant loads or concentrations
    intercepted pollutant  loads or  concentrations
    receiving water  pollutant loads or  concentrations
    retained pollutant  loads

can be evaluated.

All parts  of the model  have been verified  checking quality against measurements
taken  in Augsburg,  Munich  and Stuttgart,  Germany, and quantity against
the Dorsch Consult  HVM-Method and measurements,   (Geiger,  1975). The model
presently  is applied  to Augsburg,  Germany (360,000 inhabitants).  Completion  of
this project is  scheduled  for Sept.  1975.

Computer Program
The computer program consists of three main programs which are run sequen-
tially.  Model documentation does not describe details of the computer
program.  This is a proprietary model developed by the engineering consult-
ing firm Dorsch Consult Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH of Munich,  Germany.   The
model may be released under certain use and distribution restrictions.   A
user's manual is available upon request.

The complete program package is written in Standard-Fortran IV and consists
of nearly 30,000 statements.  Usable core storage of 400 K-bytes  and a
configuration with fast external mass storage are required.  The  package
is presently installed in a Univac 1108 computer.  The program, however,
can be used on all BATCH processing systems with Fortran IV - compilers.

For single event simulation program output includes both tables and plots
of discharges and water quality (mass rates) for any nodal point  of the
sewerage system and receiving water network.  Flow velocities are not
printed.  For continuous simulation principal output is tables of statis-
tical analysis and graphs of frequency and durations curves.
                                    481

-------
Hypothetical Pipe Tests
Comparison runs were performed for the hypothetical  pipes  described in
Section VI.

Results of the flow and quality routing for the  Two-Hour Triangular Inflow
using the Dorsch Consult QQS-MODEL are presented in  Figures  1  to 24.

Simulations used five minutes  time steps.   Fluctuations  are  apparent  at
the beginning and at the end of the triangular quality graphs.   Later
improvements in the flow routing portion of the  model  eliminated these
fluctuations.  In general the  results are very similar to  the  SWMM-Model
results for conditions without backwater.   Slightly  lower  minimum concen-
tration and later arrival time are computed for  the  0.05%  slope.

                                         August  14,  1975
     Dr. Albin Brandstetter
     Research Associate

     Dear Dr. Brandstetter:

               Subsequent to our submittal of the hypothetical  pipe  simulations,
     we discovered the following problems in the water quality  simulation model:

               1.  The time step used in these simulations was  too
                   long (the criteria is At < L/2, where L is the
                   length of pipe, or distance between adjacent nodes).
                   When this situation occurs, the mass balance is no
                   longer maintained.

               2.  We discovered a programming error in the computation
                   of the volume under the drawdown profile of  the water
                   surface at free outfalls.  Thus computed qualities
                   at these points were in error.

               3.  We found another programming error in the compu-
                   tation of volumes at storage nodes when the  storage
                   node is full at the start of the simulation.  (This
                   situation occurs for the case of the constant inflow
                   hydrograph.)

     Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately, since we would have discovered these
     problems earlier), previously reported comparisons of computed  results to
     measured results on prototype systems involved systems or  points of
     measurement which were not affected by the two errors we discovered, and
     the time step used in these comparisons was proper.

               With your kind permission, we have rerun all simulations,
     correcting the errors discovered in the initial runs.  Tables 68 through
     71 in the main text,  which summarize the results of the water quality
     simulations, have been revised from the values reported in the  draft
     report to show the correct simulation results.  Outflow concentration
     plots shown in Figures 49  through 66 of the main text are  shown for the
     WRE model on the following pages.  SWNM results for these  cases are
     shown also for comparison.  Note that we have shown the concentration
     curves for the case of storage and diversion also in these figures.

          With respect to the hydraulic model, some significant improvements
have been made during its use and application since the original simulations
were performed.  One of the most significant changes has been a change in
the stability criteria which allows longer time steps to be used.  Since
the hydraulic simulations had to be rerun to generate input data for the
quality model, the improved hydraulic model was used.  Tables 75 and 76
in the main text have been revised to reflect the run times with the
refined model.

          In Hamburg, West Germany, the WRE model has been used by KOCKS,
Engineers, Germany, and WRE to develop SESIM (Stadt-Entwasserungs-
Simulationsmodell).  The most important changes are as follows:

          SURFACE RUNOFF MODEL

            - Contribution of impervious areas to runoff:
              An inputted portion of the impervious areas (e.g.
              30 percent) is allowed to create surface runoff
              immediately after rain start.  This portion is
              increased exponentially until the surface retention
              is satisfied.

            - Capacity of program:
              The basic capacity has been increased to 450
              catchment areas.  An additional program can mix
              up to 3,150 runoff hydrographs to create a unique
              input file to the sewer transport model.

          SEWER TRANSPORT MODEL

            - Computer time:
              The necessary computer time has been greatly
              reduced by:
              (1) Converting very short pipes to orifices and
                  thus avoiding offenses against the Courant-
                  criterium.  Thus, larger time steps may be
                  used.
              (2) Optional skipping of entry and exit loss compu-
                  tations if they are included in the roughness
                  coefficients.  This by itself saves 39 percent
                  of the Sewer Transport central processing time.

              (3) Optional dampening of large oscillations supports
                  convergence of weir flow, thus enabling larger
                  time steps.

            - Energy losses:
              Friction losses may be computed optionally with
              Manning's or Prandtl-Colebrook's (rough, turbulent)
              formula.

            - Real-time control:
              To test the influence of real-time control the
              sewer transport model was given the capability of
              simulating local control of weirs.

            - Capacity of program:
              The sewer transport model has been changed to handle
              up to 3,000 conduits and nodes by using background
              storage.


          I wish to personally thank you for including this appendix.
Your project has been one of the best I have seen from the standpoint  of
objectivity in reporting comparisons of models.

                                    Sincerely yours,

              SELECTED COMPUTER INPUT AND OUTPUT
Examples of computer input and output for each ofr the seven
tested models are assembled in a separate volume.*  The output,
in most cases, is self-explanatory.  Reference to the respective
user's manuals is needed in some instances where output data
categories are identified by abbreviations and to identify
input data categories.  It was not within the scope of this
study to duplicate the user's manuals to provide all details
required for input and output interpretation.

The input and output examples are selected from computer runs
which include the following simulations:

     1.  large hypothetical catchment, 0.1% slope,  dry
         condition, 2-hour triangular rainstorm;

     2.  small hypothetical pipe with upstream storage
         and downstream diversion, 0.5% slope, 2-hour
         triangular inflow, all three inflow concentrations
         (if modeled).

 is "Assessment of Mathematical Models for Storm and Combined
 Sewer Management, Appendix F: Selected Computer Input and
 Output"  (EPA-600/2-76-175a) and can be obtained at the_

16. ABSTRACT
 Mathematical models  for  the nonsteady simulation  of urban runoff
 were evaluated to determine their suitability  for the engineering
 assessment, planning, design and control of  storm and combined
 sewerage systems.  The models were evaluated on the basis of
 information published by the model builders  and model users.  Seven
 models were also tested  by  computer runs using both hypothetical
 and real catchment data.  Most of the models evaluated include
 the nonsteady simulation of the rainfall-runoff process and flow
 routing in sewers; a few include also the simulation of wastewater
 quality, options for dimensioning sewerage system components, and
 features for real-time control of overflows  during rainstorms.
