4.2.8 - Beta Release (October 2017)

Environmental Flow Manager

The environmental flow manager links orders made at environmental flow nodes to environmental entitlements (accounts) and for the first time you can prioritise between different environmental water actions. Now, individual actions defined at nodes are centrally prioritised, required volumes (cost) for success of events are calculated and the allocated accordingly. The environmental flow manager interacts with the /wiki/spaces/SD43/pages/53543668 and assigns the water available from nominated accounts. The manager activates eligible actions, which can then order water when required. Cost and priority are defined per action or group of actions at the environmental flow manager level. An action may debit from more that one account by defining environmental account portfolios at the manager level. For environmental flow orders to be linked to environmental entitlements three elements must be configured in the scenario 1) at least one environmental flow node with at least one action; 2) the environmental flow manager and 3) a resources assessment system must be configured with an account that has no account host.

Weirs

 The weir node is now available in the node palette. Previously, storage nodes were converted to weirs within the storage node editor. There are several advantages to weirs being their own node, including using their modelled variables in functions and you will soon be able to copy and paste weir nodes. 

Geographic editor

Easily delete sections of a large network in the improved geographic editor. To multi-select and delete nodes, links and catchments, use Ctrl+Click or lasso select (new) and simply press delete. 

SWAT 

From 4.2.8 you can use several SWAT output files as data inputs in Source models. 

• *.pcp - precipitation file
• *.bsb - subbasin output file, SWAT v2000
• *.sub - subbasin output file, SWAT 2012

Linking the Source framework with other modelling platforms enhances the ability of Source to act as your customisable, integrated water resource management decision support system.
