Innovative Hydraulics comprehensive water design software Visual Water Designer® is going green…

As Green Infrastructure and Best Management Practices (BMPs) become more and more of a focus in today’s environmentally conscious society, the need for tools to understand and design green features has never been more important.  Visual Water Designer will soon offer users an entire section for designing the most common and popular Green/BMP features.  These features will include:

• Bioretention/rain garden sizing
• Bioswale analysis
• Porous pavement analysis
• Sand filter sizing
• Rain barrel/cistern analysis

Innovative Hydraulics anticipates releasing the new version of Visual Water Designer including the Green features sometime this coming winter/spring.     A sample screenshot of the software for the design of a bioretention rain garden is shown as follows:
