Pollutant Data Fields (SWMM)

Pollutant data can be edited on either the Pollutant Grid Window of the Subcatchments Grid or the Pollutant Property Sheet.

Most data can be edited on the grid, but some fields cannot be displayed in the grid format.

To view and edit all Pollutant data, use the Property Sheet.

The following table describes all the data fields used to define a pollutant.

Units

The type of unit used to quantify this pollutant. The options are:

mg/l (Milligrams per liter)

ug/l (Micrograms per liter)

#/l (Count per liter)

mg/l or ug/l are normally used for chemical constituents while #/l is used for biological ones.
