Benefit & Advantage of Hydro CAD

Hydro CAD brings the benefits of Computer Aided Design to hydrology, while not requiring any other CAD software. It is ideal for all types of drainage projects, from small runoff studies to complex detention pond designs.

Other than speeding up the design work, Hydro CAD gives advantage when it comes to sophisticated features like these:

1. Compound pond outlets like an orifice plate in fron of a culvert, or a complex stand-pipe.
2. Multiple pond outlets, even route in different directions, with no extra work.
3. Coupled (interconnected) ponds with variable tailwater.
4. Easy exfiltration calculations to maximise the performance of drainage systems.
5. Calculation of detention time for compliance with new water quality regulations.
6. Advanced pond storage calculations, including embedded storage with CULTEC or StormTech
storage chamber.
7. Custom reach cross-sections, plus Muskingum-Cunge reach routing.
