Calculating storage volume

[mikec1972]

Does anybody know of any cheap or free software available for the plotting of inflow outflow hydrographs and hence storage volume? I am in the UK and used to use a simple dos based program called FLOOD2 which is very old and now sadly broken.

You might want to try SMADA. It costs about $100 US. It is available from the University of Central Florida. Here's the link:

You could also copy the hydrograph data to Excel; you can use the program to calculate the volume of storage by integrating numerically the area between the two hydrograph curves, and you can plot the hydrographs as well.

You can do a complete inflow-outflow pond routing with the free HydroCAD Sampler available at
