Abstract: Increase in the population, improper planning of urban infrastructure and paved surface are the main causes of urban floods. This paper implements Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to explore and study the catchment area of Vijayawada, India, which is divided into 16 sub-catchments and daily rainfall data is obtained from nearby Vijayawada rain gage station. SWMM is the major tool which is used for designing and planning the drainage aspects. This case study deals with the flexible set of hydraulic modeling capabilities. It is used to assess infiltration using Green Ampt method and flow routing analysis using Dynamic wave method. The study area is represented using AutoCAD map and runoff water flow that can be routed through drainage system like pipes, channels, and outlets are identified. The aim of this study area is to check the runoff from extreme rainfall events and to evaluate the accuracy of the drainage system. The study revealed that storm networks are well planned and more sufficient to cater the simulated Rainfall event.
