Abstract: Urban flooding is the inundation of land or property in a designed atmosphere, significantly in additional densely inhabited areas, caused by precipitation overwhelming the capability of drain systems, like storm sewers. Due to expeditious increment and improper urban designing the probabilities of creek, localized or flash urban floods have drastically multiplied. This study explores the application of Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to densely populated area of Vijayawada city, which is fragmented into 58 sub-catchments. The study area is delineated in SWMM by the assistance of blueprint AutoCAD maps showing drainage network and Reference Level details. From this elaborated elevation data of drain networks, the flow direction has been evaluated to create the descriptive view of the area in SWMM. In this study area 2016, 2017 and 2018 extreme rainfall events of 24 hrs interval is considered for runoff analysis. The focus of the current wok is to model runoff conditions by applying Dynamic wave equation for routing floods and Green-Ampt equation for infiltration in SWMM. The model outputs guided in visualizing the runoff from extreme precipitation events and to analyze the accuracy of the storm water network system.
