With the older peak flowrate design methods, the folllowing may appear:

  • The option View Median Hydrograph, which  works after a run has been made, and presents the median calculated hydrographs. Where multiple rainfall patterns have been used, multiple windows will be displayed.

  • The View Median Hydrograph option, which presents scrolling windows showing the ordinates of calculated hydrographs. It only works after a run has been made.

  • The View HGL Graphs option, which presents windows showing plots of calculated hydraulic grade lines. It can only be used after a rub is made.

  • The View HGL Tables option, which presents scrolling windows showing values of calculated hydraulic grade lines at pits, nodes and similar components. It can only be used after a run is made.


With the new ARR 2019 median storm design method, the following may appear:
