Overview
The Teaching Tools task committee creates high-quality, openly available material for learning stormwater modeling: video tutorials, workshops, example models and an online SWMM reference manual.
Our goal is to lower the barrier to entry for new modelers while giving experienced professionals a way to keep up with new engines, interfaces and methods.
Focus areas
- Video tutorials on the committee YouTube channel
- Hands-on workshops at EWRI events
- An open, online SWMM reference manual
- Training material for the next generation of SWMM tools
Recent updates
