    Subject:  Rain Barrel LID Drain Outflow in SWMM 5.0.021
     The drain outflow in a Rain Barrel LID is defined by the user defined drain coefficient and drain exponent and the simulation storage depth  The storage outflow does not occur until it has been dry for at least the drain delay time in hours.

    Subject:  Rain Barrel LID Storage Depth in SWMM 5.0.021

    The storage depth in a Rain Barrel LID is limited by the user defined maximum rain barrel height in inches or millimeters.  A rain barrel is one of the new LID features in SWMM 5.0.021

  • A LID Process consists of five structured components or layers:

     

    1.Drain
    2.Storage
    3.Soil
    4.Pavement
    5.Surface
