Mounding Calculations
Mounding Calculations
(OP)
In Massachusetts new stormwater management regs require that mounding calculations be performed under infiltration areas. HydroCAD does not do such calculations. Is there a simplified program commonly used that anyone can recommend?

I use "Modret" to iterate the mounding calc's using output from "HydroCAD" hydrographs. However, "Modret is a pain in the "A**" and sometimes does not work. They should have a better method.
Mainly you need to do the mounding to figure the time it take to empty you detention area. All detention basins mound. There should be a general rule or chart to use provided by DEP to make it easier.

The sooner the better! You'll have engineers all over the state cheering you. And yes, Hantush is the DEP-recommended methodology.
