DRAINS Workshops
DRAINS 64-bit & Australian Rainfall & Runoff 2019
The Bureau of Meteorology provides 2016 intensity-frequency-duration data, and the ARR Data Hub provides ensembles of ten temporal patterns for rainfall design bursts of various durations.
Since January 2017 DRAINS has been available from Watercom incorporating these patterns and applying the new ARR 2016/2019 design procedures.
Our DRAINS Workshops incorporate the ARR 2019 procedures as part of the regular delivery of the workshop.
DRAINS Workshop Format
Based on the need to cover an abundance of new materials and procedures emerging from the ARR 2019 Guidelines, workshops since February 2017 were re-formatted into a new structure.
The current DRAINS workshops comprise of:
- A two-day DRAINS Core workshop, covering materials similar in nature to the previous Introduction to DRAINS and Street Drainage and Detention Systems workshop;
- A one-day DRAINS Advanced workshop, covering advanced modelling procedures, similar to the previous Drainage System Investigation and Property & Infill Drainage workshops; and
- A one-day DRAINS Refresher workshop, developed for experienced modellers who have attended DRAINS workshops since 2014, but are in need of a refresher covering recent updates to the DRAINS software and application of the ARR 2019 procedures.
