Hydraulic simulation represents a powerful tool for studying wastewater networks. In order to achieve this target, hydraulic software require a set of parameters such as pipe slopes, roughness, diameters, etc. However, these pieces of information are rarely known for each and every pipe. Moreover, underground networks are frequently expanded, repaired and improved and these changes are not always reported in databases. The task of completing the required data represents the most time-consuming part of model implementation. In this context, we present algorithms that complete missing data required by hydraulic software. We automated this data insertion and transformation in SWMM© format to make it quicker and easier for the user. This automated solution was compared with manually estimated inputs. The simulation results show a coherent hydraulic behavior.
