 I am simulating a storm water network in SewerGEMS platform. In my model there is pond which spreads over a large area. 
 My question is, does the software calculate the rainwater getting over the pond surface area? or do we have to assigned</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Runoff Over Pond Surface</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/741334?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Nov 2022 16:49:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4f288b91-cb21-4aae-b7b5-415616834944</guid><dc:creator>Nishadi</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Jesse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Runoff Over Pond Surface</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/740856?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Nov 2022 18:42:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:5ff313e7-9678-43f1-828e-7c6faf81fad3</guid><dc:creator>Jesse Dringoli</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Nishadi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SewerGEMS will not automatically have the rain fall over the pond area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, indeed, if you have a pond with a significant top surface area and need to account for rain that falls directly into the pond, lay out a separate catchment overlapping the pond catchment and set the pond as the &amp;quot;outflow element&amp;quot;. Or, to help prevent difficulties associated with overlapping polygons, consider laying out a schematic catchment (for example hold CTRL and click to lay out a pentagon shaped catchment) with a user defined area set equal to the pond top surface area, and direct that to the pond.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I see you asked the same question in August: &lt;a href="/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum/234720/runoff-generated-over-a-waterbody"&gt;Runoff generated over a waterbody&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Runoff Over Pond Surface</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/740855?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Nov 2022 18:30:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cf6c47e4-9786-462d-96f8-7123d59a2b63</guid><dc:creator>Nishadi</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Holly, mistakenly published in another forum.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Runoff Over Pond Surface</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/740806?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Nov 2022 14:49:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:81f577d9-08d2-403c-ac5c-5a5edb0aeed9</guid><dc:creator>Holly Herring</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I recommend posting this question in this forum:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum"&gt;(+) OpenFlows | Water Infrastructure Forum - OpenFlows | Water Infrastructure - Bentley Communities&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
