MADISON, WI, Jan. 18, 2008 -- The Delaware Division of Soil and Water Conservation has accepted StormNET by BOSS International for use in performing stormwater management calculations in accordance with the State of Delaware's Sediment and Stormwater Regulations.
"We are pleased that StormNET has been accepted by the State of Delaware and that it easily passed their NRCS TR-20 benchmark test," said Chris Maeder, Senior Technical Engineer for BOSS International. Maeder adds, "This approval means that a client can use StormNET for stormwater projects in Delaware with the confidence that their designs will be accepted by state agencies."
Jim Petranek, Senior Account Manager for BOSS International said, "We initially sought approval for StormNET based upon the request of a potential client. We're all excited about being placed upon the state's list of approved hydrology models."
Before being accepted, the results from StormNET had to match a test case provided by the Division of Soil and Water Conservation. "Our software contains multiple computational engines including the NRCS TR-20 methodology. This means that matching the benchmark case within a fraction of a percent wasn't an issue for StormNET," said Maeder. "Our software performs the same calculations as the NRCS TR-20 model, but our enhanced interface drastically reduces the time needed for model development."
StormNET is comprehensive stormwater and wastewater modeling software available for analyzing and designing urban drainage systems, stormwater sewers and sanitary sewers. StormNET interfaces with Autodesk products and combines complex hydrology, hydraulics and water quality in a graphical, easy-to-use interface.
Founded in 1986, BOSS International has been a developer and distributor of hydrology and hydraulics software for over twenty years.
