Carlson Hydrology is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-master civil engineering software solution providing automation you can use to meet your hydrology needs. Full 3D road and lot design feed directly into flow calculations and drainage design.
Includes access to lookup rainfall amounts in NOAA Atlas 14, watershed commands operated by grid files for watershed perimeters and runoff tracking, plus the option to draw out sewer lines just as a polyline before converting them in the sewer model.
The Utility Network has also been expanded to allow more shapes and utility types – gas, water, communication, storm. The Sewer Network commands allow users to label the drainage areas for each inlet and there are added controls for pipe label styles, the software supports negative step-up, and its reports now include multiple invert-ins.
Carlson Hydrology works on top of AutoCAD® 2018 and comes with IntelliCAD®8.3 built-in, and AutoCAD versions 2010 and up are also supported.
Enhanced collaboration options are highlights of the Carlson Civil and Carlson Hydrology. The Settings Server enables CAD managers to easily distribute uniform command settings and files to Carlson users throughout their company. Additional highlights of Hydrology module include:
- Hydrograph Editor – New command to edit time and flow data in a spreadsheet
- Pipe Culvert Design – Added outlet control by gradually varied flow method
- Utility Network – New command to define model for utility networks
These are in addition to other recent improvements: redesigned and enhanced sewer spreadsheet editor for working in profile view and added support in sewer network for multiple pipes between structures and for separate inlet locations, speed and ease design work for sewer or drainage networks.
Look for the Detention Pond Design command.
Carlson Hydrology is tightly integrated with HydroCAD. This collaboration brings together the extraordinary ease of use that Carlson is known for, its 30+ years of experience mastering the civil/survey CAD environment, with the 25+ years of experience of HydroCAD in the unique, rapidly changing and highly regulated storm water modeling profession.

Carlson 2013-2015* with IntelliCAD 7.2 *Starting with 2013 build 130120Intel® Pentium® 4 or comparable (minimum), Intel i7 or at least Intel i5 or comparable (recommended). Due to the variety of processors on the market, one can use cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to do comparative analysis. While the overall processor score matters, the single thread performance is of the most interest. - 32-bit Windows 7-8.1: 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM minimum for, 4 GB recommended
- 64-bit Windows 7-8.1: 2 GB of RAM minimum for, 8+ GB recommended
- Windows Vista: 1 GB of RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended
- Windows XP: 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM minimum, 2 GB recommended
Graphics card compatible with OpenGL Version 1.4 or higher: - Recommended are desktop graphics level discrete (not integrated cards like Intel HD) graphics cards
- Preferably Nvidia Geforce due to their more consistent driver support
- Discrete ATI/AMD cards will be adequate, but ATI’s driver support has been spotty and user is frequently deferred to the computer manufacturer for support
- Professional Nvidia Quadro cards are not currently recommended due to driver issues
- Powerful gaming cards are not required and probably would not provide as much benefit as investment in more memory or better CPU
