New in 2023, TUFLOW's 1D linking and solver options have been expanded to include EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). EPA SWMM is a widely used software program for simulating urban and non-urban watersheds' hydrologic and 1D hydraulic behaviorbehaviour. DevelopedInitially developed in the early 1970s1970's by the USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the software has since undergone numerous updates and enhancements to become one of the most used 1D stormwater runoff and water quality analysis tools globally, particularly in North America. The primary uses of EPA SWMM include designing and evaluating stormwater systems and also planning and assessment of low-impact development (also known as Water Sensitive Urban Design) techniques.

New in 2023, TUFLOW's 1D linking and solver options have been expanded to support EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). As such, 1D pipe networks or 1D open channels can now be modeled using either the ESTRY, EPA SWMM, or a combination of the 1D solvers.
 
The following tutorial models are aimed at new and experienced users, stepping through the process of building and running TUFLOW and SWMM together. The main objective aims to demonstrate the ability of TUFLOW to link to 1D EPA SWMM in various forms. If you are not familarfamiliar with TUFLOW already, we recommend first completing Module 1 and 2 of the <u>[[Tutorial_Introduction | "TUFLOW Only" Tutorials]]</u> to establish an understanding of 2D modelling, before progressing to learning how to link 1D EPA SWMM to 2D TUFLOW.
EPA SWMM is a widely used software program for simulating urban and non-urban watersheds' hydrologic and hydraulic behavior. Developed in the early 1970s by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the software has since undergone numerous updates and enhancements to become one of the most used 1D stormwater runoff and water quality analysis tools globally, particularly in North America.
 
The primary uses of EPA SWMM include designing and evaluating stormwater management practices, planning, and assessing low-impact development techniques, and developing models for floodplain mapping and emergency response planning. The software allows users to simulate a wide range of storm events and analyze the impact of a range of factors, such as land use changes, climate variability, and water quality control measures, on the performance of stormwater management systems.
