A waste water event describes the daily pattern of domestic waste from one or more subcatchment populations.
00:10
Similar trade waste events are used for industrial waste.
00:15
The main difference between the two is that the waste water event describes per capita flow,
00:20
and the trade event describes flow from a single source.
00:24
In this tutorial, you import and view both trade and waste water events.
00:31
Before importing an inflow event, it is a good idea to create a new model group to store all your event data.
00:39
Right-click your existing Model Group and select New InfoWorks > Model Group.
00:44
In the New Name – Model Group popup, name the group “Ancillary Files” and then click OK.
00:51
From the Model Group, right-click the Ancillary Files group and select Import InfoWorks > Waste water > from event file.
01:01
In the Open dialog, navigate to the folder with the downloaded files for this tutorial and select Wastewater Profile.wwg.
01:10
Click Open.
01:12
In the Ancillary Files group, double-click Wastewater Profile to open the Wastewater Profile Editor.
01:19
On the Common tab, note the Per Capita Flow of 246 liters per day.
01:25
If you change the drop-down Description menu to 2 Combined, this changes to 200 liters per day.
01:31
Switch to the Profile tab and note that the factors vary throughout the day to represent the daily variation in population flow.
01:40
From the drop-down you can also set weekend, monthly and design profiles.
01:45
Close the Wastewater Profile Editor.
01:49
The trade waste profile works in the same way as the wastewater profile.
01:53
However, instead of defining a population and per capita flow, you define the flow rate directly in the subcatchment.
01:60
Right-click the Ancillary Files group, choose Import InfoWorks > Trade waste > from event file.
02:08
Navigate to the folder with the downloaded files for this tutorial and select Trade Profile.twp.
02:15
Click Open.
02:17
In the Ancillary Files group, double-click Trade Profile to open the Trade Profile Editor.
02:23
On the Common tab, expand the Description drop-down.
02:27
Here, you can choose from one of three profiles that contain the data for three different times of day,
02:32
such as the Normal Office Hours profile.
02:34
Notice also the Flow Scaling Factor is set to 1.
02:38
You can also set any water quality parameters here that you need.
02:42
Click the Profile tab to see the data for the selected profile in both a table and in graphical form.
02:49
When you are finished Close the Trade Profile Editor.

A waste water event describes the daily pattern of domestic waste from one or more subcatchment populations. Similar trade waste events are used for industrial waste. The main difference between the two is that the waste water event describes per capita flow, and the trade event describes flow from a single source. This tutorial imports and views both trade and waste water events.
Before importing event files, it is a good idea to create a new model group to store all event data.
To import a waste water event:
On the Common tab, note the Per Capita Flow of 246 liters per day.
The Per Capita Flow changes to 200 liters per day.
The trade waste profile works in the same way as the wastewater profile. However, instead of defining a population and per capita flow, the flow rate is defined directly in the subcatchment.
To import a trade waste profile:
Notice the Flow Scaling Factor is set to 1. Also, any needed water quality parameters can be set here.
