Horton Infiltration Max Volume Calculator

The Horton Infiltration Max Volume Calculator allows the Maximum Infiltration Volume to be calculated for the Horton Infiltration method for use with the SWMM Runoff method.



Soil Type - The soil types are taken from the SWMM 5.2 Hydrology reference and populate the Porosity and Wilting Point values.

Porosity - The Porosity of the soil type as provided in the SWMM 5.2 Hydrology reference. Note that if a custom value is entered the Soil Type is set to "User Defined ".

Wilting Point - The Wilting Point of the soil type as provided in the SWMM 5.2 Hydrology reference. Note that if a custom value is entered the Soil Type is set to "User Defined ".

Depression Storage Depth - The storage depth of the pervious portion of the Area Inflow.

Max. Infiltration Volume - The Maximum Volume of the Infiltration as defined by (Porosity - Wilting Point) * Depression Storage Depth.
