RMHwin
Rational Method Hydrology Software for Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties

Features

 

·          Windows.  RMH is now a Windows application.

 

·          Automatic confluence designation by common downstream node numbers.  Nested confluence levels supported.  No need for the user to designate confluences or manipulate data banks – the program does that automatically. 

 

·          Schematic watershed diagram.

 

·          Street sections can be stored as templates and recalled with a click.  All dimensions are variable.  Parallel pipe option maximizes street flow.

 

·          Program-selected pipe sizes can be limited by minimum and maximum sizes in each record.

 

·          Travel time calculations in reach-distributed subareas use true average Q.

 

·          Pipe and box flow use velocity head loss coefficient, not percentage of invert slope.

 

·          All subareas allow area entry in the same record, reach-distributed or node-concentrated based on conveyance.

·          Remarks allowed in each record.

 

·          Clean, logical screens and printouts.  Printing to printer or file.  Truly friendly and logical data entry. 

 

·          Easy editing.

 

·          Backward compatible with current DOS datafiles; however some records may need editing.

 

·          Street hydraulics utility.

 

·          Free program support.  No annual fee.  No hardware key.  No copy protection.

 

·          Users’ manual.

 

·          Accepted by all three counties.

 

·          Rainfall, soil, land use, etc. per each county’s hydrology manual.  Additional county-specific features:

Riverside:  Select geographical region from a table, Plate D-4.1, which sets I's and I-D slope.  A “region” named “0.2 in/hr” is included to facilitate WQMP preparation.

San Bernardino: Optionally print values for synthetic unit hydrograph input. 

                Calculate 1-year storm.  Print Small Area Unit Hydrograph & 10% durations for WQMP.
