MODEL WITH CONFIDENCE
WHY xp xpstorm storm? Because you want to be confident that the models you create and submit for review are accurate and easily understood. Integrated Stormwater Modeling. Combine comprehensive hydrology and hydraulics in the same model. Don’t jump between two or three different software packages to build a complete stormwater model. xpstorm offers the tools to perform fully integrated system modeling

xp2D were benchmark tested by the U.K. Environment Agency with excellent results. Countless other stormwater regulators are familiar with xpstorm and prefer modeling performed with its powerful tools.
xpstorm When lives and property depend on the engineering decisions that you make, you want the data supporting your work to be reliable and easy to understand. You don’t want to risk taking shortcuts with insufficient calculations or make assumptions about system elements when you don’t have to.
xpstorm is a versatile software package for dynamic modeling of urban stormwater systems and river systems. It is used by scientists, engineers and managers to develop link-node (1D) and spatially distributed (2D) hydraulic models for analysis and design. Widely used by private consultants and public agencies responsible for stormwater and flooding regulation, xpstorm is one of the most stable and well-accepted modeling and design packages in the world.
xpstorm simulates natural rainfall-runoff processes and the hydraulic performance of drainage systems and floodplains. It allows the integrated analysis of flow in engineered and natural systems including ponds, rivers, lakes, overland floodplains and interaction with groundwater. Use xpstorm for fully integrated hydrologic and hydraulic stormwater modeling – from cloud to ocean! This comprehensive software program will allow you to Model With Confidence.
