Best stormwater modeling software for small-medium size project
(OP)
What is the best modeling software for small to medium sized residential and small commercial development projects? I've seen HydroCAD used, but am curious if there's something better than this? Most of the project I'm looking at doing are small-medium projects. Say not more than 100 lot subdivisions or 7-10 acre commercial developments.
I do have a couple copies of Civil 3D, that includes the Storm and Sanitary analysis extension. I don't know if this solution is overly complex.
Thanks

If you run into anything that involves dynamic tailwater, run away fast from Hydraflow Hydrographs. It's garbage once you start getting into true node based modeling. HydroCAD handles these situations relatively well, although I think ICPR and SWMM may have some advantages in extremely nuanced situations. The best boon of HydroCAD is the developers answer your emails.
