Abstract

This chapter presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) based urban drainage hydraulic modeL The model was used to solve the flooding and pollution problems associated with inadequate urban drainage for a drainage area in Huntington, West Virginia.The GIS analysis was conducted in PC ARC/ INFO, a GIS software from Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI).Hydraulic modelling was done using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), a comprehensive rainfall-runoff simulation model from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The benefits of using a graphical interface to facilitate the modelling are illustrated.
