Different rainfall values in different areas in SewerGems?

Can I run a model in sewergems, and have two different storms? Both 25 year storms, but different values for half of the model? The idea would be to have different rainfall values for higher elevations and lower elevations. Thanks.

Yes, you can most definitley do this in SewerGEMS. In all the catchments that are going to be using a different Storm Event than your scenario's global storm event please do the following:

1) Set the property titled "Use Local Rainfall?" to True

2) Then select the event you're going to use for those catchments.

After you run your model those catchments that are using the local rainfall event data should show different runoff results than your other catchments.

Is this also possible in StormCAD V8i?

No, the local storm event option is not currently available in StormCAD (GVF-Rational numerical solver). StormCAD uses the Rational method which is typically best for relatively small study areas.
