It is possible to record flux data for the buffer, including inflows, outflows, water quality, etc. Data are recorded for each timestep. These data can be exported to a text file, for importing and analysis in other software packages:

Note that for small timesteps (e.g. 6 minute), the resulting flux file can be very large.

NOTE: The user also has the option to view a simple summary of the water balance (e.g. evapotranspiration, infiltration, overflow, etc) within a node by using the Node the statistics#nodewaterbalance>Node Water Balance item Balance item under the Statistics sub-menu; refer to Production to production+and+interpretation+>Production and Interpretation of music Output.  In many cases this will provide the extra detailed water balance information needed, without the need to handle the large files generated by the flux file option.

The Notes button allows you to record any important details or assumptions for the buffer (for example, you may provide an explanation of how the area was calculated). It is good practice to provide notes of any important assumptions, for future reference by others using the model.
