How to fill lid controls catalog - Giswater/giswater_dbmodel GitHub Wiki

As SWMM works with LID's Giswater works with LID's also.

You need to fill catalog table (inp_lid_control) before to work with the usage table (inp_lid_usage table). To fill catalog remember that: factor colums are related to different values in function of LID strategy choosed.

To create a RAIN BARREL (using lid name (lidco_id) as RB-1) you need to mix STORAGE & DRAIN objects, using syntax defined below:

id	lidco_id	lidco_type	value_2	value_3	value_4	value_5	value_6	value_7	value_8
1 (serial)	RB-1	RB
2 (serial)	RB-1	STORAGE	36	0	0	0
3 (serial)	RB-1	DRAIN	10	0.5	0	6

To create a GREEN ROOF with impermeable bottom (using lid name (lidco_id) as GR-1) you need to mix SURFACE & SOIL & STORAGE & DRAIN objects, using syntax defined below:

id	lidco_id	lidco_type	value_2	value_3	value_4	value_5	value_6	value_7	value_8
1 (serial)	GR-1	BC
2 (serial)	GR-1	SURFACE	3	0	0	0	0
3 (serial)	GR-1	SOIL	3	0.5	0.1	0.05	1.24	2.4
4 (serial)	GR-1	STORAGE	3	0.5	0	0
5 (serial)	GR-1	DRAIN	5	0.5	0	0

See Appendix D: Command line SWMM [LID_CONTROLS] section (EPA SWMM user's manual 5.0.22) for more information
NOTE: As SWMM have been improved on 5.1 version, you can generate inp compatible with 5.1 version LID's control usign the same strategy to create your LID CONTROLS but taking a look on user's manual of your 5.1 SWMM version
