It serves as a powerful tool designed for urban drainage professionals, allowing them to:
- Compute design storm Intensity-Frequency-Duration (IFD) curves for any location in Malaysia, following the MSMA Second Edition (2011), HP1 (2021) for West Malaysia, and HP26 (2018) for East Malaysia.
- Calculate peak discharges using the Rational Method and discharge hydrographs via the Time-Area Method.
- Design On-Site Detention (OSD) and Detention Basins or Ponds tailored to any location in Malaysia.
