H2O4U

H2O4U is a program that evaluates and recommends water saving devices and provides public awareness on the importance of water consumption, conservation and the environment. Current research predicts a water shortage to occur in this century. With that concern in mind we plan to promote the best use of our water resources.

Description:

An education program is proposed to inform the public of possible ways to save water and to introduce products that save water. A H2O4U seal of approval will be attached to products that save water. At first, we will concentrate on products related to Stormwater Management. We will be taking the latest environmental research public! Our goal is to identify and develop water saving devices and provide public awareness on the importance of water consumption, conservation and the environment through an educational program called H2O4U. Technical data will be presented in a strategic marketing campaign through media, seminars, literature and key Industry partners. We will show how the cost of water can be reduced as the supply is increased!

Stormwater Software

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO DOWNLOADING!

All software offered as a zip file requires PKUNZIP, WinZip, or Windows XP to decompress. All software downloadable from this page is freeware and can be freely distributed as such.


IDF - Intensity Duration Frequency


Intensity Duration Frequency Curve Viewer


LOOPS - Hardy Cross Pipe Analysis

LOOPS for Windows (version 1.02) FULL INSTALLATION PACKAGE

LOOPS 2.00a (3-6-1996) FULL INSTALLATION PACKAGE


Implementation of the familiar Hardy-Cross pipe distribution algorithm. This software was designed for classroom use in hydraulics. It allows students to analyze pipe distribution networks. Support for Darcy-Weisbach and Hazen Williams friction methods is offered. On-line documentation includes all example problems needed to get up and running in the classroom with this software. If you have previous installed the LOOPS program and wish to update the executable only the current version of the executable only can be downloaded by clicking on the update below. It must be unzipped into the LOOPS directory.


SMADA - Stormwater Management and Design Aid

SMADA for Windows (updated 11-5-97) FULL INSTALLATION PACKAGE.

This software is a complete hydrology package included as a number of separate executable files. These programs work together to allow hydrograph generation, pond routing, storm sewer design, statisitical distribution and regression analysis, pollutant loading modeling, matrix calculation, and others. These programs are useful in both classroom and professional applications. Extensive on-line documentation is available for all programs.

These programs are also available from the textbook Hydrology and Water Quantity and Quality Control by Wanielista, Kersten, and Eaglin (available from John Wiley and Sons publishers).

SMADA for DOS Installation Package
The earlier DOS version of the Windows SMADA Package. This installs into the DOS versions of SMADA, DISTRIB, REGRESS, RETEN, and OPSEW. This is a good package to use on 386 and less powerful computers or computers which have a rough time with Windows. Of course if your computer has a rough time with Windows, you probably haven't gotten this far.

SMADA C++ Version, WINSMADA (1993 version)

This is the SMADA version containing the C++ version of DISTRIB, HYDGEN, PONDER, and the FHWA Pollutant Loading Model. C++ code for domain routines is also available.

Stormwater Management Text Programs Download - These Programs accompany the text Stormwater Management, Wanielista and Yousef, 1993

SMADA Updates

SMADA 6 includes the following programs. If you have installed the SMADA package you can download and decompress any updates directly into the SMADA directory. To get the updates click on the program name as listed below. You must have previously installed the entire SMADA package for the updates to work properly.

Record of Hydrology/Hydraulics Software Updates

WARNING - these files WILL NOT WORK until you have installed the SMADA installation package. They are UPDATES to the programs in that package.

Florida DOT Storm Sewers

Warning! this program is a beta release - it has currently undergoing testing and debugging. It performs all calculation for design of storm sewers using the standard set by the Florida Department of Transportion. Bug information should be sent to reaglin@mail.ucf.edu. Please include version date with any bug information, the version date is the same as the time stamp date on the excecutable.

FDOT Sewer Design (Windows) - FULL INSTALLATION PACKAGE dated 11/30/98

On-Line documentation - This link (will) contain information about how to use the FDOT sewer program.


Gradually Varied Flow Profiler

Surface Profile Calculator (Windows) - FULL INSTALLATION PACKAGE

This program allows for the calculation of surface profiles of trapezoidal channels using both the direct step method and the standard step method. Normal flow conditions can also be calculated. Results are presented in the format shown in Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems by my good friends Dr. R Houghtalen and Dr. N Hwang. This is a very handy tool for the calculation of these profiles shapes.


Recommended Shareware

OCAD for Windows
This mapping program was developed to produce orienteering maps. It is by the far the easiest and most flexible mapping program I have ever used. This demo version is limited to 500 objects, but has full functionality. For drawing small and mid-sized maps this program is compact and very easy to use. To see a map drawn with this programs view the Florida Orienteering Club Page
