HYDSYS For Drainage - managing storm drainage systems: HYDSYS is software designed to help you analyze storm drainage systems. Using selected hydrologic methods, it covers the entire analytic process from the determination of a design rainstorm to model calibration, and the production of hyetographs, hydrographs, plans and profiles. Using your pipe network and zoning designations for paved and grassed contributing areas, it will highlight undersized pipes and will calculate the required pipe diameters, capacities and velocities. Features which allow models to be linked together make it possible to analyze systems of virtually any size or complexity. Using HYDSYS, you may simulate the drainage of a subdivision before and after development and then determine the attenuating effects of stormwater detention ponds. It will enable you to predict a system's performance during extreme or high return period rainstorms or to identify and correct deficiencies of developing urban drainage systems.

Erosion Prediction and Control

STREAMBANK AND SHORELINE EROSION MANAGEMENT MEASURE
Erosion Control Headquarters
Erosion Process: The waterfront is the scene of the most dramatic interactions between water, wind, and land. Moving air and water carry material from place to place, eroding and depositing, constantly changing the shoreline. If erosion is not balanced by accretion,the shore will be washed away. Understanding the dynamics of erosion and accretion along the shore is important: to safeguard your property, you need to know how to work with these natural forces, not against them.

Hydrology and Hydraulics Software

Information about SSIIM 1.4: "The SSIIM program is made for use in River/Environmental/Hydraulic/Sedimentation Engineering. It calculates water, sediment flow and water quality in three dimensions, solving the Navier-Stokes equations with the k-epsilon turbulence model. The convection-diffusion equations are solved to calculate sediment transport and water quality constituent transport. The calculations are time-dependent and an adaptive grid moves vertically to account for changes in water and bed level. "

Software

CORPSCON: "CORPSCON, Version 4.11, is an MS-DOS based program which allows the user to convert coordinates between Geographic, State Plane and Universal Transverse (UTM) on both North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and North American Datum of 1983(NAD 83). CORPSCON uses the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) program NADCON to convert between NAD 27 and NAD 83. CORPSCON, Version 4.11, also performs vertical conversions to and from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Vertical conversions can be performed for the continental U.S. only. Also, CORPSCON does not perform conversions based on High Accuracy Reference Networks (HARN's). To perform conversion on HARN's, NADCON, Version 2.10, must be used. NADCON can be obtain from the National Geodetic Survey. "

CIVILRING: "CIVILRING is a 'webring' that connects sites related to Civil Engineering situated primarily in Australia and also the world. A webring is a way to group together sites with similar content by linking them together in a circle, or ring. The idea is that once you are at one site in the webring, you can click on a "Next" or "Previous" link to go to adjacent sites in the ring and - if you do it long enough - end up where you started. For more information on webrings, visit the organisation that invented the idea, Webring. "
