This site was originally created by personnel in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences with considerable input from IDNR specialists. In February, 2006 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) became the granting sponsor of RMMS. Match funds were provided by the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS).

Current Project Director: Dr. Roy H. Campbell

Professor of Computer Science, rhc@uiuc.edu

Calculate The Slope of the longest run

Slope = rise/run

Slope = (760ft – 730ft)/7689ft

Slope = .003901678 * 100 = 0.39%

Concluding remarks

• This short work through should equip you to use RMMS to determine design parameters for underground tile drains

• RMMS has many other applications.

• Two tutorials are provided with the software to assist you in becoming familiar with its other uses.

• Please contact me anytime with any feedback and/or assistance requests.
