Pond Analysis and Design
PondPackTM models everything from simple single pond projects to complicated watersheds. You can graphically layout and analyze single pond systems, as well as detailed complex watershed networks with channel routing, diversions, multiple ponds, interconnected ponds with multiple tidal outfalls - or anything in between.
- Estimate storage requirements for given outflow restrictions
- Define your pond by several available methods including: FHWA HDS-5 culverts with inlet/outlet control checks, broad crested weirs, road overtopping, v-notch weirs, inlet boxes, stand pipes, orifices, riser perforations, user defined structures, and more
- Model underground sloped, upsized pipes for detention
- Design multi-stage structures consisting of over a dozen different outlet devices, providing extreme versatility in outlet structure combinations
- Model both retention and detention ponds within the same network
- Computes water quality parameters such as detention time, first flush, and minimum drain time
- Automatically take into account pond and reach infiltration from the watershed system
- Model fully networked watershed scenarios with multiple areas, reaches, and ponds, including interconnected diversions
- Considers tailwater during outlet structures calculations
- Model the effects of tidal outfalls on the water surface level, volume, and outflow in upstream ponds
- Analyze multiple connected ponds with backwater effects Calculate reverse flow automatically, or prevent reverse flow by incorporating flap gates
