Nodes represent a physical entity or process within the system that occurs on a relatively localised basis. A water use node represents urban water demand and water consumption behaviour. The Urban Developer plugin offers two methods for simulating water use behaviour:
- Average daily model (see Average Water Use node)
- Behavioural model (the Behavioural Water Use node)
The following table lists the node models currently available within the Urban Developer Plugin. Each node is represented by a specific icon. The table outlines the function of each node model; other sections of this User Guide contain a more comprehensive description of each node model.
| Icon | Node Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Roof | A roof node represents a physical roof catchment surface. |
| Tank | A tank is a type of storage used in domestic and industrial settings to store water from runoff or mains supplyrecycled water, and to release it in a controlled manner. |
| Average Water use | A water use node represents urban water demand and water consumption behaviour. |
| Behavioural Water use | A water use node represents urban water demand and water consumption behaviour. |
