What kind of storm drainage calculations does Splash do?
Splash is NOT a storm water modeling program. Splash is a program designed to assist you with the layout and drafting of profile, pipes, manholes, catch-basins, plan and profile sheets and property. Splash does perform some computations. Splash computes the velocity, capacity,hydraulic radius, wetted perimeter and area on each selected pipe using Manning’s equation. The computation is based upon slope, diameter, material type (roughness) and percent full. These calculations are most useful for sanitary sewer design. Splash does not compute surcharge on a storm water sewer nor hydraulic grade lines on a surcharged system. Inexpensive programs exist which perform these calculations well. We are currently investigating an interface of Splash with one or more of these storm water modeling programs. The following is a typical manhole report produced by Splash. This information is displayed whenever a manhole is selected. ———————————————— MH#= 4,STA= 6+56.59,O
