RE: Can hydrocad accurately determine
Note that an term HGL generally implies a steady-state analysis, with the entire drainage system at equilibrium, while HydroCAD is a hydrograph routing model, where all the WSE's are continuously changing over time. As such, there is no single HGL for the entire system.

RE: Can hydrocad accurately determine
Thanks so much for your response. For a typical storm drain network on a road side, would you recommend modeling each catch basin as a detention pond (storage being the actual volume of the concrete catch basin) with a culvert as primary and an overflow weir as secondary for the water that comes out of the grate in larger storm events?
Thanks!
