How do you design/model a storm sewer "bubbler" system?
How do you design/model a storm sewer "bubbler" system?
(OP)
I use Hydraflow Hydrographs to design storm sewer systems. Typically its a the standard system of pipes, inlets, and manholes that discharge through an outlet pipe to daylight. Due to topographic restraints a "bubbler" system has to be used. THe invert of the outlet pipe will be below ex. grade (and grading cant be done) so a catch basin will be installed and the water will build up and discharge out of the catch basin. (The catch basin top of grate will be low enough so up stream catch basins dont back up.) How would I model this system?

Thats how I would do it in HydroCAD.

Basin>culvert>Basin (which is really your inlet box), and just let it overtop the inlet.
