WQ4.2.5 Wet Deposition and Runon
subcatchment runoff
contains
washoff of constituents deposited during dry periods
pollutant loads contributed by direct rainfall and by runon from upstream subcatchments.
The instantaneous loading rates from these two streams
a wrong way
simply be added onto the loads computed from the washoff functions described earlier
because they must first be routed through the volume of water (shallow as it may be) that ponds atop the surface of the subcatchment
See Volume I for a description of how SWMM uses a nonlinear reservoir model to describe surface runoff.
condtion
Consistent with the way that the flow from direct rainfall and runon is treated
these pollutant streams are completely mixed with the current contents of the ponded water
and a mass balance is performed to find the pollutant mass from these sources leaving the ponded surface water over the computational time step.
This mass flux is added to the mass flux computed from the washoff functions to arrive at a total washoff amount.
two-stream approach
to handling washoff from both pollutant buildup and from rainfall/runon
Figure 4-3 depicts
written of mass balance for the pollutant and volume of the washoff stream
originating from the ponded surface water that receives upstream run-on and direct deposition can be
note1
applied to the subcatchment as a whole
not to its separate impervious and pervious sub-areas
Precipitation, infiltration, and evaporation rates have been converted from their more conventional units of inches/hr to cfs
by multiplying by the subcatchment’s area
Infiltration removes a proportional amount of mass
regardless of constituent
Evaporation removes volume but not mass causing Cponded to increase
Qout
It can be lower than the Qrunoff used in the buildup washoff functions

is the total runoff flow leaving the subcatchment.
The only unknown to solve for is Cponded
all flow rates and volumes are known from the runoff calculations done prior to washoff analysis
W_washoff is total washoff rate
by adding together the washoff rates w
computed for the buildup on each land use
Wponded
is the runoff load from ponded surface storage
is Qout ×Cponded.
Wout
is the total mass flow rate of pollutant leaving the subcatchment
is Wwashoff + Wponded
Wout / Qout.
is the concentration of pollutant in the subcatchment’s runoff
note2
this scheme requires
an additional set of state variables be kept track of over a simulation
namely the ponded mass (mp=Vponded×Cponded) for each pollutant in each subcatchment
