A Beginner’s Guide to MSMAware: The Ultimate Tool for Urban Drainage Design
Are you tired of battling the stormy seas of urban drainage design, wrestling with manuals thicker than your local library? Fear not! MSMAware is here to rescue you from the depths of confusion and deliver you to the shores of clarity. In this blog post, we’ll dive into what MSMAware is, how it can help you, and why you should be using it like a tool belt on a construction site!
What is MSMAware?
MSMAware is the superhero of urban drainage design, specifically tailored for MSMA, the Manual Saliran Mesra Alam Malaysia (or as we like to call it, “Malaysia’s guide to keeping storms in their place”). Developed by the Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Malaysia (JPS), this software follows the urban stormwater management manual to help you compute various stormwater parameters easily.
Key Features of MSMAware
- Design Storm Intensity-Frequency-Duration (IFD) Curve Calculation: Create and compute curves for any location in Malaysia. Easy, right? Just like pie (or maybe that’s a different kind of pie…).
- Peak Discharge Computation: Use the Rational Method and Time-Area Method to tackle peak discharges in a flash!
- On-Site Detention (OSD) Design: Design detention ponds faster than a speeding bullet (well, maybe not that fast, but you get the idea).
