How is the St Venant Equation Solved for in the Dynamic Wave Solution of SWMM 5?

Subject:   How is the St Venant Equation Solved for in the Dynamic Wave Solution of SWMM 5? An explanation of the four St. Venant Terms in SWMM 5 and how they change for Gravity Mains and Force Mains. The HGL is the water surface elevation in the upstream and downstream nodes of the link. The HGL for a full link goes from the pipe crown elevation up to the rim elevation of the node + the surcharge depth of the node.  The four terms are: dq2 = Time Step * Awtd * (Head Downstream – Head Upstream)…See More

SWMM 5 Precipitation Options

Subject:  SWMM 5 Precipitation Options You can have design storms, monitored storms of any length of the time from minutes to centuries, use intensity, volume or cumulative precipitation, use both rainfall and snowfall in the same rain gage depending on temperature, use both time series or external files for the rain gage and have unlimited rain gages with the limitation of one rain gage per subcatchment.  …See More

does anybody here know well about Aquifer-Module in SWMM 5? which algorithms are used to model subsurface processing (aquifer)? thanks

thanks a lot!

it would be better, if you can tell me, which algorithms (mathematical formula) are used to be model the aquifer in subsurface. I can only find the formula about the groundwater processing in SWMM manual but not part of aquifer.
