The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is used throughout the world for planning, analysis, and design related to stormwater runoff, combined and sanitary sewers, and other drainage systems. SWMM predicts runoff quantity and quality from drainage systems, and is used by communities, consulting engineers, and many EWRI members as part of their innovative research.

This workshop will gather SWMM developers - including the Center for Infrastructure Modeling and Management, Inc. (CIMM) who recently completed SWMM 5+, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, private sector companies, and others – SWMM users from academia, government, and the private sector, as well as others who are invested in the future of SWMM.

The purpose of the workshop will be to share information about recent improvements to SWMM, discuss future needs for SWMM including in the areas of flood modeling and real-time digital applications, consider options for the ongoing maintenance and development of SWMM, and build the community of SWMM stakeholders.

This workshop will also report out on what has been accomplished since the 2018 SWMM Visioning Summit sponsored by EWRI, NCIMM, and EPA in Reston, VA.
