HydroCAD^® Stormwater Modeling System

CD Reference Library

This is a sample copy of the Contents page from the HydroCAD CD Reference Library.  The links on this page are not available on the web.

The "Library" folder on the HydroCAD CD contains a number of documents that may be of interest to HydroCAD users. You will need a PDF reader to view many of these documents.  Some of these documents are produced by other organizations, and these are presented without warranty or support of any kind from HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC.  For further information, please contact the author of  the applicable document.

HydroCAD Training Slides
This folder contains the first three sections of the training slides used in the HydroCAD seminars.  The slides are fully illustrated, and include video clips from the live seminars.  All HydroCAD users should view this material.  The full set of ten sections (including seven hours of video) is also available for purchase at www.hydrocad.net/selftraining.

HydroCAD Owner's Manual
One printed copy of the Owner's Manual is provided with each HydroCAD license.  The PDF version is also included on this disk to allow you to search for specific words or phrases.  Note: Under copyright provisions, you may not print additional copies of the PDF version.  Extra copies of the printed manual may be ordered on our web site.

HydroCAD Sampler
This is an evaluation version of HydroCAD, suitable for project reviewers, educational use, or product evaluation.  (Since the Sampler will replace any version of HydroCAD already on your computer, it should not be installed on any computer that already contains a full HydroCAD system.)  Free copies of the Sampler are also available at www.hydrocad.net 

CULTEC Stormwater Chambers
This section contains the complete product reference library as published by CULTEC, Inc, of Brookfield, Connecticut.  Inside you'll find full product brochures, CAD files, technical specifications, Design Manual, and even a video presentation.  This information supplements the automatic storage calculations that HydroCAD-7 provides for all CULTEC chambers.

National Engineering Handbook, Section 4: Hydrology  (Now known as Part 630 Hydrology)
This SCS/NRCS publication provides the basis for many current hydrology calculations.  Individual sections on Tc determination and runoff methods may be especially useful.  Although this is a very large publication, each chapter is provided as a separate PDF file.

TR-20: Computer Program for Project Formulation Hydrology
This folder contains the original TR-20 software and the complete TR-20 Manual produced by the SCS/NRCS.  Even if you have no need for the software itself, the manual provides useful documentation on the underlying techniques, many of which are employed by HydroCAD.

Win TR-20: Windows Version of TR-20
This folder contains the new TR-20 Windows software produced by the SCS/NRCS.

TR-55: Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds
This folder contains the original TR-55 software and the complete TR-55 Manual produced by the SCS/NRCS.  This widely-used manual provides a good introduction to stormwater modeling, and is often used in conjunction with HydroCAD, which implements many of these techniques.

Win TR-55: Windows Version of TR-55
This folder contains the new TR-55 Windows software and the complete Win TR-55 Manual produced by the SCS/NRCS.
