Features

Everything you need for drainage design

Visual network builder

Drag and drop subcatchments, junctions, detention ponds, and outfalls onto a connected canvas. See your entire drainage system at a glance.

Rational method calculations

Accurate peak flow calculations using the Rational Method, with ARI-based IFD intensity lookup and automatic time of concentration derivation.

Detention pond routing

Model detention basins with level-storage-discharge curves. Automatically verify that outflow meets downstream constraints for your design ARI.

One-click report export

Generate a professional, print-ready PDF summary of your entire network — inputs, calculations, results, and compliance checks — in seconds.

How it works

From blank canvas to certified report

01

Draw your network

Place subcatchments, junctions, ponds, and outfalls on the canvas. Connect them with edges to define flow paths.

02

Enter catchment data

Set areas, runoff coefficients, pipe lengths, and design storm parameters. HydroPrep handles the rest.

03

Get certified results

Run the analysis in one click. Review peak flows, compliance checks, and export a professional report.
