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.
To create such node, you can choose Custom Flow and Contaminants options in Source node which will allow you to import Total flow along with contaminant time series data as shown below:
