Stormwater Routing in SSA?

[Chaznsc]

Will SSA perform an actual routing like Hydraflow, Pondpack, etc?

You may get more bites if you describe what it is you need. People may not know the other packages 📦

thats what the class I took said. I found the other packages easier. I would recommend HyrdoCAD. The price is excellent, the support is good, the computations are very good.

Hydraflow has good reports, and is very good for simple modeling. It doens't do a s well for complicated models.

Pond Pack reports waste a lot of paper for little information with bad formatting that take a lot of effort to sort through to find info. Modeling engine is pretty good.

HydroCAD is easier to work with EXCELLENT for piecing together underground storage and good modeling engine.

Running or routing a hydrograph thru a pond and associated outlet structure with various controls such as weirs, orifices, outlet control pipe. SSA doesn't not appear to be able to accommodate this in a tangible way.

This is, I'm afraid, what happens when software for engineers is written by non engineers. 😞

Yes, it routes hydrographs through ponds (storage nodes) with outlet structures.
