                     Readme file for OPSEW

These programs were created to aid students and professionals in the
field of stormwater management. They were created by Ron Eaglin and 
M. P. Wanielista. They are distributed via shareware. Proceeds from 
registration of the programs goes into the creation of more programs
and into the printing of the documentation for the programs. 

The creators of these programs assume no responsibility for the use or
misuse of the programs.

There are three programs contained on this disk. The install will create
an SWATER directory and create one subdirectory under this main
directory. The programs included are the following:

        OPSEW - OPtimal SEWer design package
OPSEW is a program designed to allow the user to interactively design
simple sewer networks. It will print out the Florida DOT spreadsheet used
in sewer permits. It can handle partial, full and surcharged flow. It will 
perform a number of hydraulic calculations, calculate hydraulic grades based
on any number of assumptions, and will output to screen, printer, or disk.


Extensive documentation is available for all three programs including
a discussion of the theory and a number of example problems for each
of the routines contained in the programs.
