Masterdrain Hydrology is a versatile program with many functions. Some of these functions are for specialised users, while many others are general. The program is aimed at:-
1) Drainage design engineers - this program will provide a useful toolbox of routines for calculating rainfall, determining return periods, calculating roof protection rainfall figures and many more aspects of design. Ease and speed of use were the main criteria when writing this program.
3) Hydrologists - the complete UK hydrological maps (used by permission of, and published by, H R Wallingford) are available on screen, plus a database of over 4000 locations in the UK with the data already extracted.
4) Meteorologists - Rainfall intensities may be calculated for any given location, and plotted on-screen for analysis. Intensities may be printed out for a specific location with eight standard return periods on one sheet, at one minute intervals for the first hour of the storm. Intensities may be plotted on a logarithmic scale up to 1000 minutes.
5) Educationalists - Civil Engineering or Building Services students will find this program invaluable as an introduction to general hydrology.
