    Floating Skimmer Device

    Trying to model a floating skimmer device and not sure what flow to input in HydroCAD. Per the skimmer manual I will need two 6 inch skimmers w/H=0.417. The Basin volume needed to drain in 72 hours is 226,357 cuft. I have phase in depth set at 0.42 ft and Full flow set at 1.03 cfs.

    Existing Flow Thru Pond

    I have an existing pipe that is flowing into a large wetland(31 cfs), we are building a new detention pond that I would like the existing pipe to flow into but the pond not hold or account for this flow (free flow through the ponds outlet). Is there any way to use hydrocad to allow this flow to...

    Drainage areas do not add up?

    I have two subcatchments DA1 & DA2 , DA1=4.97 cfs and DA2=6.44 cfs, I have both areas routed thru a link to give a combined flow offsite, but the link, gives a total of 8.66 cfs. The total flow should be 11.41 cfs offsite.
