Following up on the initial project setup we did in Drainage Design 01, this second video in the series dives into the core hydrology calculations and software preparation. Before we start modelling our surface water networks, we need to establish our baseline parameters and initial storage requirements. In this tutorial, I walk through the initial predevelopment calculations and storage estimates. We also cover the essential step of downloading FEH (Flood Estimation Handbook) data and using it to accurately set up a new working file in InfoDrainage. 🔹 What you’ll learn in this video: ▪ Performing predevelopment runoff calculations. ▪ Estimating preliminary attenuation storage requirements. ▪ How to download and format FEH data for UK hydrology. ▪ Importing data and configuring the initial setup of an InfoDrainage file. 🔹 Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction & Recap of Video 01 0:15 - Hydrology & Hydraulics 01:30 - Predevelopment Calculations 05:45 - Downloading FEH Data 10:07 - Setting up the InfoDrainage Rainfall 15:30 - Calculating Stage Storage 20:15 - Xref for Infodrainage 28:00 - Surface in InfoDrainage If you found this tutorial helpful, please leave a like and subscribe to follow along with the rest of this drainage design series.
