DRAINS performs design and analysis calculations for urban stormwater drainage systems and models the flooding behaviour of rural and urban catchments. Operating on PCs in Microsoft Windows environments, it has many applications from sizing of single drainage pipes to complex analyses of large established pipe drainage systems. Information on the model is given in this Help system.
Although DRAINS is mainly intended for urban stormwater drainage systems and is geared to Australian practice, it can be altered to deal with diverse situations involving many types of drainage systems and locations.
New features are added to DRAINS periodically, expanding its capabilities, and updates are provided through the Watercom website.
