HydroCAD Stormwater Modeling is a computer-aided design tool developed for civil engineers to model stormwater runoff and address hydrology and hydraulics challenges. The software is designed to facilitate the analysis and management of stormwater systems, supporting a broad range of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling tasks. It operates on any Windows PC and does not require additional CAD software, offering a standalone solution for stormwater modeling needs.
Key capabilities of HydroCAD include support for SCS, NRCS, and SBUH runoff hydrology methods, as well as the Rational Method with automatic intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve generation. Users can incorporate local rainfall data or use the built-in rainfall library, and the platform allows for easy management and reporting of multiple rainfall events. The software supports unlimited hydrograph points and enables hydrograph routing through ponds and reaches, including the modeling of coupled ponds with automatic tailwater calculations. Additional features include automatic hydraulics and culvert calculations, advanced flow simulations such as those involving pumps and float valves, and progressive dam breach simulations.
HydroCAD also provides tools for automatic pond storage calculations, including the ability to model embedded storage chambers and the layout of underground storage systems. Land-use analysis and pollutant loading calculations are integrated, and the tool offers built-in CAD watershed import to streamline project setup. The graphical interface is managed by an on-screen routing diagram, a feature pioneered by HydroCAD, which simplifies the visualization and management of complex drainage networks.
The software is positioned as ideal for studies using the TR-20, TR-55, or SBUH hydrology methods, making it suitable for a variety of regulatory and design applications. HydroCAD is available for use on Windows PCs, and a free HydroCAD Sampler is offered for those interested in evaluating the software. The product is developed and maintained by HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC.
In the Infrastructure & Backend space, HydroCAD Stormwater Modeling takes a focused approach. It focuses on modeling and designing stormwater runoff and management systems for civil engineering projects. It is built as a B2B product for civil engineers and stormwater designers. HydroCAD Stormwater Modeling is a paid product. HydroCAD Stormwater Modeling is available on the web and Windows.
Behind HydroCAD Stormwater Modeling is HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC, based in the United States. Key capabilities include stormwater modeling, hydrology simulation, and hydraulics calculations.
