1. InfoDrainage 2023.3 Quick Storage Estimate Print Outs

   Please can a function to print out the quick storage estimates and results summary be made available. Whilst they should only be used for concept designs, it would be useful to have this information for record to show the design process

2. Levels for "junction" items

   When using the "junction" connection item, it always sets the cover level on the item to 0. This is true even if you had a manhole that had a proper cover and invert level input, if you switch the manhole to a junction (for instance because you don't want to falsely include the volume of a manhole that isn't actually there) then it jumps the cover to 0 and the invert to -1.5. (It might not do it if you have a ground model in, not sure, I usually work without).

   You can fix it by going across to the pipe data and changing the upstream/downstream cover and invert levels there back to what they should be, but if you have three pipes that's six bits of data to edit, and because you manually edited the pipe data you have "disconnected" those pipes from each other and from the junction, so if you update values around them they will no longer follow those updates and need to be manually updated forever afterwards.

   Could the "junction" item have the ability to input a cover and invert, which would then be adopted by all the incoming and outgoing pipes, so that it is exactly like a manhole with no volume, and so that if I move something I only have to change the level once, at the junction, instead of having to change every pipe?

   When using the "junction" connection item, it always sets the cover level on the item to 0. This is true even if you had a manhole that had a proper cover and invert level input, if you switch the manhole to a junction (for instance because you don't want to falsely include the volume of a manhole that isn't actually there) then it jumps the cover to 0 and the invert to -1.5.

   In InfoDrainage, junctions are used as nodes without volume to enable modelling a Y or T junction, or it could be a point in the middle of a culvert that is getting wider for some reason.

   
   

   You are right; when the pipe US and DS cover levels are 0, and the junction has a level of 0, the model will find no way to design the system and run the design wizard. Therefore, to address this, we've implemented a warning message that will stop users from proceeding with the design if they have junctions and the associated ends of the pipe have a 0 level (that hasn't been overwritten). Users can still use the level 0 but they need to overwrite the default 0 to proceed. The warning message will be made available to users in a future release of InfoDrainage.

   
   

   As for the simulation, junctions are ignored during the simulation, so their level won't have any impact as long as the levels of the pipes are set correctly.

   This is to confirm that we've received your suggestion and we're in the process of implementing this in InfoDrainage so users can see the slope on the table below the long section. This will be made available to user in future releases of the software.

   
   

4. InfoDrainage - Split subcatchments option for Laurenson runoff routing method

   It is industry best practice to split up the subcatchments in a model into their pervious and impervious areas when adopting the Laurenson (or RAFTS) runoff routing method ie U = 2 and U = 0. The current workflow to achieve this is to setup the model with 2 subcatchments representing the impervious and pervious surfaces within a subcatchment. Existing Innovyze software (ICM and XPSWMM/XPSTORM) provide the user the ability to split the area of a catchment up into a number of different runoff surfaces. A feature like this would be great to have for InfoDrainage.

5. Include the San Diego Modified Rational Method

   Include the San Diego Modified Rational Method as a routing option in the simulation parameters, similar to how its been incorporated to InfoSewer and InfoSWMM

6. Link from CIRIA BEST Tools

   CIRIA make a tool for valuing the benefits of green infrastructure. The results enable users to understand and quantify the wider value of SuDS and natural flood management measures. Being able to include this in the drainage design when comparing scenarios would be useful.
