You can click on any tab and can edit any of the data presented in the active dialogue box.
Source Tab
The Source Tab contains 3 options: Generate, Custom Flow and Generate Contaminants and Custom Flow and Contaminants.
Generate
Generate is a default option which will create both runoff and contaminants based on the various parameters. This Tab contains Land Use/Zoning type, the total area, the percentage of impervious and pervious area for that source node. It also contains the hydrologic parameters used by the rainfall-runoff model. For more information on model structure, operation and suggested parameter ranges see Rainfall Runoff Modelling.

Custom Flow and Contaminants
There are many situations where you may need to create a node in music which uses imported time-series data (flow, TSS, TP, TN and gross pollutants). It may be used for creating custom-made source nodes, or treatment nodes. For example, you may want to:
- Import observed (monitored) flow and water quality data at the inflow and/or outflow of a treatment node (e.g. a wetland), to allow you to calibrate the wetland’s treatment performance to the observed data.
- You may wish to simulate a ‘non-standard’ source of pollutants (e.g. a sewerage treatment plant, that has variable flow and water quality characteristics), for which you have monitoring data
- You may wish to use monitored streamflow and water quality to create a "receiving node" into which a music simulation discharges, to allow you to monitor your proposed treatment train’s performance against water quality standards.
