To enter a user defined timer series, either type in the file path and file name, or click on the Browse button, to locate a previously prepared comma separated value (CSV) file which contains the reuse rate (in L volume per time-step). The re-use file must be a CSV file with a separate reuse value on each line. The time-step for the reuse file must be the same as that used in the meteorology template file. Only a single column of data should be provided in the CSV file. A header row may also needs to be incorporated or may be left blank.
Demand will only be met when there is available storage in the permanent pool of the treatment node.

As discussed above, a user defined time series of reuse can be specified in music using Custom Demand Tab and importing data. This facility provides a more realistic reuse demand specification capability. The facility also allows exploration of the impacts of reuse that could not previously be simulated, such as trends in household demand, steps in demand as occupancy changes, etc.
The user defined reuse file can be specified by selecting the "" button or by pasting the file address in the text box. The re-use file must be a CSV file with data separated line by line. The time-step for the reuse file must be the same as that used in the meteorology template file. A single header row should be incorporated.
The following provides examples of a suitably formatted user defined reuse file:
If an insufficient number of reuse values is specified in the reuse file, a reuse value of 0 will be applied for all subsequent time-steps. If too many reuse values are provided in the reuse file, the additional reuse values will be truncated. In either circumstance a warning message will be issued advising how many unassigned/truncated values there are in the reuse file.
