The Inflow node allows you to define flows into your model. Inflows include runoff generated for

defined headwater

defined headwater and residual catchment areas in the river system, point sources of water such as inter-basin transfers, and return flows from water users. Inflows are not used to account for rain falling directly on

water

water bodies.

Feature Editor 6
 

Figure 1 shows the feature editor of an inflow node. You can describe inflows either by using an expression or by supplying a time series.

To load an inflow file, click Load to import the flow time-series data and specify the column containing the number, as well as the units. Table 3

Click Data Sources to load a time series in the node. Table 1 shows the format of a comma-separated (.CSV) file for providing time-series data

. Data files of this kind do not stipulate units

.

You specify the appropriate units in the feature editor using the Units: drop-down menu.

To configure the inflow node model choose Add if adding an inflow to the network or Replace if overriding the flow and constituents with a defined time series.

Selecting Forecast (Figure 2) allows you to forecast flows in two ways. Unlike Operations, it does not require a run of the warm period to initialise its calculations. The Operations

forecast model

Forecast Model is used in an ordering system, and determines how much flow might occur. These forecasts are needed in addition to what is in storages to determine how much water might be available to distribute in the current and coming days.

The

As its name suggests, Recession Forecast

model

Model creates a recession forecast model for the network defined in the Schematic Editor.

Constituents

Prior to configuring constituents at an inflow node, ensure that they have been defined using Edit » Constituents. For further details on configuration, refer to Inflow node.
