Ordering priorities allow users in Source to specify how shortfalls are prioritised between different demands in Source. Without a priority system enabled, Source will shortfall all demands equally within the model. The priority ordering system addresses situations encountered in water resource models such as the following:
...
The priority array is calculated during the order phase for each elements' minimum order travel time.
The priority array is kept for order times (0...min order time) at all elements.
...

Scenario | Allow Order | Extract Water | Result |
1 | True | True | Standard case |
2 | True | False | Priorities have no effect on the flow phase. |
3 | False | True | Water will be extracted independently of the priorities |
4 | False | False | No effect |
...
The confluence maintains the ratio of priorities up both branches.
