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.
Fields that are common to the majority of objects can be found in the Common Fields topic.
