Changes to a network do not propagate downstream

If you change a pipe diameter or gradient, it will not accommodate these changes in the downstream section of the network. For example upsizing and steepening a pipe in the middle of a run will mean the next pipeis undersized and goes uphill. It a...

Add check dams as a feature for swales

Add a check dam setting with height, notch weir and interval settings to simplify modelling swales on sloping sites. This avoids having to model several sections of swale in order to use the available storage.

Reporting of velocity through swales

If you design swales using Stormwater Controls (Swale) you will not be able to see simulated velocities through the swale. I believe you could try modelling as an open channel connection but you won't get infiltration through the sides & base.

Chezy Formula option

It would be useful to have a direct input for Chezy coefficient as an alternative to mannings n as some regions need to use this as an input and report on this too - this would result in less workaround and data manipulation

Allow underdrains to have a different slope to the SuDS feature

Allow a storage structure such as dry swale, bioretention area or infiltration trench to have a different slope to the underdrain. Currently the underdrain has to follow the slope of the feature, which is not a real life representation of how they...

Incorporate the ability to create custom grate inlets. Currently InfoDrainage only allows for HEC22 defined inlet grate types to be used.

Some municipalities across New Zealand and other parts of the world require designers to use specified inlet grate types with defined inlet efficiency curves. There are two ways in which the custom inlet grate type this can be incorporated into In...

Non-circular pipes

Please add non-circular pipes to InfoDrainage, similar to those available SSA. These need the ability to connect to manholes at either end at a minimum, but the option to be culverted as well is welcomed.

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...

Button: Apply to all phases

To each of the build screens, next to "apply", add another button, "apply to all phases". This would save a lot of time when making tweaks to models for which more than one phase is being run (which is most models)
