	This tool is intended to make it easier to convert ESTRY models for use with SWMM. Some of the conversions may not be the optimal representation for SWMM. It is the responsibility of the modeler to check the final model and ensure that it is correct. Hydraulic structures in particular should be reviewed. Pump operations are not converted and must be ~~setup~~ manually. Weirs have a variety of options in both platforms and the automatic conversion may not be the most appropriate SWMM representation. No effort is made to convert TUFLOW operational structures to SWMM controls which must be done manually.<br>		This tool is intended to make it easier to convert ESTRY models for use with SWMM.
