SmartPlan Rainwater Model

By Ken Goulding posted on Tue, 2010-10-05 15:08 , 332 reads, 0 comments

Different landscape choices handle water in different ways. Any landscape will release runoff if enough water falls, however greener landscapes and pervious paving options do a much better job of absorbing and containing water before runoff occurs.

 

 

The SmartPlan Rainwater model analyzes selections of surface types by running a model against rainfall data from the nearest weather station. Each inch of the site is analyzed for every rainfall event on record (since 1970 in this example).

 

Try a live online demonstration or watch the video below to see the tool in action.
