Show preliminary sizing estimated flow depth in profile view.

The proportional depth is given in the Network Design Report but not shown in the long sections. This is a very useful feature to allow quick checking of throttling or spare capacity in the network.

Horizontal orifices as an outlet type

HydroCAD offers a horizontal orifice control outlet type that is very commonly used for detention pond outlet types in the US. Please include this as an outlet type so we can transition from HydroCAD to InfoDrainage.

Add a storage structure feature for channel drains

Add a storage structure feature for channel drains (e.g. channel, slot drain, kerb drain) so that these features can be presented as storage and not only conveyance (by modelling a custom section) and so that catchments can be connected as a sheet...

Would it be possible to include longitudinal gradient (slope) to attenuation tanks please? At the moment it appears that software assumes that these structures are constructed flat whereas in real life these could be constructed with a gradient (slope) from the upstream end towards the outlet.

Option to remove the additional storage automatically added in geocellular systems

When designing a cellular soakaway, infodrainage automatically assumes a 1m2 plan area chamber between tank soffit and exceedance level (which would have been specified as ground level). In other structures you can specify freeboard and exceedance...

Permeable Pavement with varying depth

Please add an option to input the surface slope and formation level slope for the permeable pavements to represent the varying depth of storage below. This is one of the 3 options we use at steeper sites to provide adequate storage in permeable pa...

Liquid filled/Flooded drainage network

Liquid filled/Flooded drainage network- the system should be required to design flooded drainage network i.e. drainage pipe should be always filled with liquid for entire length up to the discharge point. Like a surcharge up to manhole cover (liqu...

Perforated Pipe as Connection Type

I would like to be able to model a perforated pipe as a connection type rather than use an infiltration trench and short branches of pipes to connect them to other stormwater controls. These infiltration trenches are not collecting inflow from sur...

Junction Loss

There need to be more options for calculating junction loss. Having values for entry and exit loss isn't enough. Recommend HEC-22 and AASHTO at a minimum.

Pipe Intersection coordinates

Whilst setting the coords of a pipe intersection is a good feature, in certain common cases InfoDrainage does not allow for setting the correct setting of grade and levels of pipework, and due to its calculations can output levels against a certai...
