InfoSWMM PDM (Pond Design Manager) allows you to plan, analyze, design, and complete detention pond projects of any size and complexity quickly, correctly, and below budget.

Detention ponds are designed to provide a range of benefits, including reducing peak discharges and improving water quality. InfoSWMM PDM lets you streamline the design and analysis of single and interconnected ponds, compute pond detention times, and size outlet structures for one or more design rainfall events. It does so by allowing you to take advantage of highly advanced hydraulic and hydrologic computational algorithms without having expertise in this complex field—extending the software’s benefits across the entire enterprise.

You can route flows using sophisticated (fully) dynamic flow analysis, and can also determine the pre- and post-development runoff hydrographs using any of the ten most commonly used  rainfall-runoff models: the EPA Nonlinear Reservoir Method, the Colorado Urban Hydrograph Procedure (CUHP), NRCS Dimensionless Unit Hydrograph, NRCS Triangular Unit Hydrograph, Delmarva Unit Hydrograph, Clark Unit Hydrograph, Snyder Unit Hydrograph, Santa Barbara Hydrograph (SBH), Espey Unit Hydrograph, and San Diego Modified Rational Hydrograph (SDMRH). A number of popular infiltration models are also supported, including the SCS Curve Number, Green-Ampt, and Horton Methods.

Civil and environmental engineers’ pond design projects are complex, but their tools shouldn’t be. InfoSWMM PDM allows you to quickly and efficiently complete stormwater projects of any size, from basic site designs to complex regional drainage studies. The program intuitive interface, easy-to-use functionality and rich graphing and reporting capabilities will save you hours of manual calculation time by making it very simple to analyze pre- and post- development watershed conditions and size ponds and outlet.
