Rainfall Runoff Alternative for Global Rainfall

The rainfall runoff alternative for global rainfall displays information about global storm data in your model. The following fields are available:

Field Description
Global Storm Data Lists all of the rainfall curves that have been defined for the current model in the Storm Data dialog box, which is accessible by clicking the Ellipsis (...) button.
Source Displays the location of the library file for storm data that are derived from an engineering library entry.
Return Event Displays the return event that is associated with the storm data. The return event is a value that reflects the average time between similar storm data.
Depth Displays the rainfall depth of the storm as defined by the currently selected storm data.
Duration Displays the duration of the storm as defined by the currently selected storm data.
Climate Adjustment Type
  • None - No adjustments are applied to rainfall data during the computation.
  • Constant - Can apply a single percent "Climate Adjustment" to rainfall data.
  • SWMM - When using SWMM or the EPA SWMM runoff method can access the standard SWMM style monthly climate adjustments via the climatology dialog.
Climate Adjustment (%) Set the percent adjustment of all rain data (local and global) during the associated computation.

To access SWMM Climatology data for the current rainfall runoff alternative, click the "SWMM Engine Climatology…" Button.
