• Ex) select ‘TotalRunoff’

20

u Step 6 – Graph of relative frequency• The value and percentage shows when you put the cursor at a point

• Click ‘Continue’ to go to the next step

21

u Step 7 – Result of the LID design parameter scenarios• The following will show up to select a hydrologic component

22

u Step 7 – Result of the LID design parameter scenarios

• Click the scroll button to choose the hydrologic component which you want

to see (or check)

23

u Step 7 – Result of the LID design parameter scenarios• Insert a number which you want to see (or check)

• The number you insert refers to the best LID design scenarios in priority

• After you insert a number, the following table will automatically appear

24

u Step 7 – Result of the LID design parameter scenarios• You can change the number of scenarios

• the following table will appear

25

u Step 7 – Result of the LID design parameter scenarios• You can download SWMM input and output files of high performance scenarios

26

u Step 7 – Result of the LID design parameter scenarios• When you click ‘Download’ for the input data, downloaded input data can be found

in the document folder

27

u Step 7 – Result of the LID design parameter scenarios• When you click ‘Download’ for the output data, downloaded output data can be

found in the document folder

28

u Step 8 – Selection of LID design parameters• The following shows the selected scenario results of the previous step

29

u Step 8 – Selection of LID design parameters• Choose one of the scenarios which will be used for the next step

• Click ‘Continue’ to go to the next step

30

u Step 9 – LID planning scenarios• The following shows SWMM5.1 ‘LID Usage’ parameters which are related to planning

31

u Step 9 – LID planning scenarios• You can change the values by clicking the edit button

32

u Step 9 – LID planning scenarios• A description of the parameter shows up when you click the name of the parameter

(you can use it when you need more information of the parameter)

33

u Step 9 – LID planning scenarios• Insert values as below and click ‘continue’ to go to the next step

34

u Step 10 – Results of hydrology

• The following shows the results of hydrology

35

u Step 10 – Results of hydrology

36

u Step 10 – Results of hydrology• Choose which result you want to see (or check) by clicking the scroll button on the

‘hydrologic components’

37

u Step 10 – Results of hydrology• Insert a number which you want to see (or check)

• The number you insert refers to the best hydrological scenarios in priority

• After you insert a number, a table will automatically appear

38

u Step 10 – Results of hydrology• The table shows 10 scenarios each on the page

scenarios

40

u Step 10 – Results of hydrology• You can also see (or check) the distribution of each results

• A figure is shown to support the type of LID you have chosen

• We are working on a brief summary report option

(a brief summary file which contains all of the procedure done in this program will be reported

as an excel or text file)
