SEDCAD
Description
A suite of curve number-based watershed rainfall-runoff models, RUSLE-based sediment yield analysis, and channel and hydraulic structure design utilities.
Used by: Engineers, Geologists, Hydrologists and Soil scientists
Additional Information :
Website -- None
Uses
- Model your hydrologic mine system including, channels, ponds, sediment control, etc.
- Evaluate effectiveness of sediment ponds and other sediment control structures such as check dams, grass filters, and silt fence (Mine plan, reclamation plan).
- Evaluate diversion channel designs, including riprap, grass-lined, and bar soil conditions.
- Use the exhaustive and comprehensive help files for quick reference, and background.
- Evaluate culvert and plunge pool designs, and recommend changes for permit review.
- Analyze the impact of the addition or removal of a hydrologic structure - sediment
pond, permanent impoundment, plunge pool, etc. for permit review.

Engineers
- Model your hydrologic mine system including, channels, ponds, sediment control etc.
- Evaluate effectiveness of sediment ponds and other sediment control
sturctures such as check dams, grass filters, and silt fence (Mine plan, reclamation plan).
- Evaluate diversion channel designs, including riprap, grass-lined, and bare soil conditions.
- Use the exhaustive and comprehensive help files for quick reference, and background.
- Model the impacts of different types of storms (intensity, duration, etc.) on the hydrologic system.
- Evaluate culvert and plunge pool designs, and recommend changes for permit review.
- Analyze the impact of the addition or removal of a hydrologic structure - sediment pond,
permanente impoundment, plunge pool, etc. for permit review.
