SWMM Notes for SWMM 4 & 5
A Collection of Notes about the Components of SWMM 4 and 5
Welcome!
The purpose of this site is to provide the features of a Social Network as a companion to our master list of SWMM 5, InfoSWMM and InfoSewer blogs and notes. The names of the blogs are the same here and in BlogSpot, Wordpress and Posterous but those three sites only contain blogs. If you want to ask more detailed questions then please sign in and start your own discussion here.
There are six components in this Site:
1. My Page - which is local to you and completely controlled by you,
2. Blogs - Created by the you and others from My Page or by Quick Add
3. Notes - Created by the Admin's of the Site
4. Discussions - Created by You and Others
5. Comments on My Page, Blogs, Notes and Discussions
6. Special Pages and Links created by the Admins.
