Links are categorised as either:
- Vertical links - used to connect most nodes. One example of a vertical link is a demand link, which is created when you connect a water user node to a supply point node, and is represented in the Schematic Editor using dashed red linesThe first four types of links in Table 1 are all vertical; or
- Horizontal links (or wetland links) - connects used to connect the Wetlands Hydraulic Connector node (source) and the Storage node (target) only. The presence of a horizontal link at a storage node indicates that the storage is behaving as a wetland. Figure 2 shows an example of a horizontal link.
The Node Connection Matrix shows the types of links created when you connect different nodes; these are summarised in Table 1.

types in Source
| Type of link | Used to connect | Representation in Schematic Editor | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Demand link | Supply point (source) and water user (target) nodes only | Red, dashed line | ||
| Lagged flow routing | Various nodes | Black line, with alternating dots and dashes | ||
| Storage routing | Various nodes | Black, solid line | ||
| Straight through routing | Various nodes | Black, dashed line | ||
| Wetland link (Horizontal) |
| Wetlands Hydraulic Connector node (source) and the Storage node (target) only | Green, solid line | Shown in Figure 2 |
Using links in Source
Once links have been added a model, several attributes can be edited in a similar way to nodes:
- Node and link default names;
- Renaming nodes and links - once added, links are given default names - refer to ;
- Configuring node and link parameters;
- Adding notes to nodes and links (only for lagged flow routing and storage routing links);
- Searching for nodes and links;
- Deleting nodes and links;
- Node and link default names; and
- Copying and pasting.
