Triggers are used to initiate or cancel certain actions for an account, account host, account type or system in a resource assessment system. This page provides details of the different types of triggers available in Resource Assessment systems, along with types of actions that can be initiated.
...
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| End of water year | Triggers an action at the end of the water year. |
| Function | Triggers an action using a defined function. The format of a function should be as follows: if( A > B,1,0), where “1” indicates the action will occur and “0” means the action will not happen. |
| Monthly trigger | Tiggers an action for a particular month. You must specify whether to offset from the start or end of the month, along with the number of days. |
| Per-timestep | Triggers an action per a specified number of time-steps. You can choose to reset the repeat interval at the start of each water year. |
| Season | Triggers an action for a specified season. You must define and start and end dates. |
| Specified date | Triggers an action on a specified date. |
| Start of water year | Triggers an action at the start of the water year. You can choose to repeat the action at a specified number of timesteps, and whether to reset the repeat interval at the start of each water year. |
| Storage level | Trigger based on a specified storage level. You must specify the storage, the level and whether the level is rising or falling. |

| Account Balance | The remaining volume/proportion of water available to an account (not including carryover). |
Carryover | The remaining volume/proportion of water available to an account that was carried over from the previous water year, ie. carryover balance. |
| Carryover Start of Water Year | At the start of the water year, the volume of water carried over from the previous water year. |
| Entitlement | Annual volumetric entitlement for an account. |
| Total Water | Account Balance + Carryover Balance. |

*Access to spillable water is set at These options are configured at the Account Type level on the Carryover tab by enabling Water Available While Spillable, see Annual Accounting - Account Type - Carryover..
Adjustment
This trigger adjusts one of several parameters (eg. account balance, or available water) based on a specified percentage or volume. The available methods of adjusting are shown in Figure 2, see Table 1 for explanations. A positive value indicates an addition; a negative values represents a deduction. The example shown in Figure 2 represents an evaporation loss of 5% of available water. This will reduce 5% of available water, so 95% of available water is left in available water balance.

For Carryover, Transfer and Transfer Use you can choose between Independent or One-to-One Mapping. This affects how the Source and Destination accounts, account hosts or account types are selected.
In Independentmapping (Figure AA, a carryover trigger has been configured with independent mapping. In Figure 4, a carryover trigger has been configured with ) allows you to map between accounts, account types or account hosts to other accounts, account types or account hosts within or between accounting systems. Note that the Source system will always be the system in which the trigger is located. The source and destinations do not need to be the same level - eg. an account type can be mapped to two accounts in another accounting system (Figure AA).
One-to-one mapping (Figure 4) allows you to map accounts, account types or account hosts to others of the same level - eg. you can map an accounts to other accounts. This allows you to create multiple triggers of the same type at once. When you select this option, the Source and Destination will be the same, that is, an item will map to itself. You can change the mapping by reordering either the source or destination by clicking a cell and dragging it next to the desired item. For example, in Figure 4, the Destination accounts for HRWS account type were dragged to be next to their corresponding accounts for the LRWS account type. To enable the trigger for a mapping, toggle on the Checked box next to that entry.
Transfer
Transfers a specified proportion or volume of account balance, available water or carryover between different account types, account hosts or accounts. For a positive transfer, water moves from source to destination; in a negative transfer, it moves in the reverse direction. For transfer from available water, the operation is similar of an adjustment trigger (uses the Priority set at the water user).
