Graduateprojects

  • SWMM, Using historical and projected precipitation data, a specific area of Ontario was analyzed and characterized using SWMM. It assesses the impact of development, including land use patterns, and future precipitation on existing sewer systems. LID approaches were used to reduce floods at intersections and surface runoff. Then, the model was run for potential precipitation storm events in the future, and the impact of implementing LID (Low-impact development) was examined.
