SEDBASIN Version 1.0.1 analyses sedimentation of suspended sediment in a sedimentation basin.  The software also calculates design storm runoff from urban catchments using the methods described in Australian Rainfall and Runoff, 2001.

Fully Interactive 32 bit Application, compatible with MS Windows 2000 and later
