Apply direct inflows to permeable paving

There should be a way of applying the inflow that the paving receives directly (i.e. the rain that falls onto it) to produce a more accurate simulation of the rainfall. This direct rainfall isn't a lateral or point inflow, and being forced to mode...

Velocity Result for Swale Stormwater Control Feature

The velocity parameter in a swale is an important consideration with respect to determining erosion possibility, potential swale lining requirements and help inform check-dam design & locations. As it stands you cannot get the velocity result ...

Adding Babbit Formula

Requesting addition of Babbit formula peak factor calculation to Infodrainage program, providing comprehensive analysis for efficient and accurate design and decision-making since Babbit formula peak factor calculation method used in many standard...

Auto-Profile Feature in InfoDrainage

We are asking for a Gravity Auto Profile feature in the InfoDrainage with integration with other services as sanitary, water and electrical …etc. This feature would automate the creation of longitudinal profiles for gravity-fed drainage systems (M...

Infiltration trench with varying depth.

It should be possible to design an infiltration trench where the long slope at the base of the trench is different to the slope at exceedance level i.e. the depth of the trench varies. Extremely useful for designing a trench that does not match fa...

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

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...

Vary infiltration with depth

Cannot currently use the software for deisgn of borehole soakaways. By their very nature they wil have varying infiltration rates. Usually the infiltration is at greatest depth and no way of modelling with correct head in borehole.

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.

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.
