The Whole Hydrograph: Thinking and Creating with SWMM

As software and computing power advance and increase, more and more use cases for modeling studies continue to emerge. To meet the growing demand from public and private clients, modelers must prepare innovative solutions to new and exciting problems. This presentation discusses GKY's approach to creating and utilizing custom tools, augmenting existing PCSWMM features with functionality and efficiency gains.

Our tools are diverse. They aid in technical production, automating tedious processes and pushing the limits of what can be represented in SWMM, and they aid in quality control, ensuring that we deliver top-quality model results to our clients and their communities. Additionally, the presentation will discuss the overarching thought process that leads to these innovations, beginning with evaluating even the most basic procedures to identify opportunities for development. Using real project examples, we will discuss what makes the innovative mindset so powerful, ultimately allowing GKY to prepare unique solutions for today's unique modeling challenges.
