Source has many standard recorders for flow nodes, which can also be reported for the Environmental Flow Node. Additional recorders specific to the Environmental Flow Node are found under ‘Environmental Flow – Name of Node – Actions – Name of Action’. The environmental flow node has a standard set of node recorders that are common across all Source nodes. Specialist recorders are then present in each node type in addition to these common recorders. Environmental Flow Nodes

Actions
Spell Based Action
...
Number of Successful Spells Completed in Season: Number of spells this season that are successful. A spell is deemed successful if the delivered volume meets the requirements specified by the action's success criteria. This includes both ordered and natural spells. The counter is reset at the end of the action's season.
Required Target Volume: This is the flow target level specified by the user (used to calculate success based on target level).
Residual Requirement: This recorder is only non-zero when the environmental flow node is used with a flow manager. The residual requirement is the amount this action will have to try to order. The full requirement is reduced based on downstream orders, minimum upstream constraints and other actions at this node that are a higher priority. This value is not restricted by account balances.counter is reset at the end of the action's season.
Spell Extension: Recorder flags days when spell was extended
...
Timesteps Spell is Actively Ordering: This recorder indicates when ordering for the action is turned on. It includes the rise and fall phase. In this case ‘ordering’ means the node is actively managing the delivery of the action, it not necessarily means any orders are made. For example, the amount of water required may be zero (due to downstream orders or minimum constraints), then the ‘ordering’ for the action is still on, only the amount ordered is zero. This can be used in environmental flow manager functions to determine if an action is currently ordering, and is often used in the function to estimate cost of an action to allow for cost to reduce as the action progresses.

Recorders available for translucency actions are listed below. If they are defined as above no further explanation is given.

Resource Assessment was already existing in Source and is not specific to the Environmental Flow Functionality. The only difference in reporting is that Portfolios are listed under account hosts. Resource assessment recorders are reported per account, aggregated per account type, account host and for the whole system.
Recorders of interest when examining environmental flow manager behaviour include:
Available Water
Account Balance
Carryover

Account Balance Pre Exit - Resource Assessment- X Accounting Recorder- Account Types - Account Type X- Account Balance Pre Exit This is useful because it gives you the account balance after the resource assessment phase, but before the environmental flow manager evaluation phase and the ordering phase. The account balance recorder is the account balance at the end of the entire timestep.
