Environmental Flow Node

This latest release of the improved environmental flow node comes with configurable success tolerance criteria. The node assesses if actions, and spells within actions, have met configured objectives, and keeps track of the elapsed time since the last success. This information can be observed and reported, or can also trigger management interventions such as forcing orders in the case of sequential failures, or refrain from using managed water in the case of recent successful seasons. The environmental flow node assesses both managed (contributions made by generating an order) and natural passing flows against action definitions to determine success. You can configure success tolerance as a proportion or percentage of target flow, duration and total event volume.

E.g. You may wish to count events that meet at least 90% of the target flow throughout, or only 90% of the time steps within the minimum duration window must meet the target flow for the event to be counted as successful.

Note - the new environmental flow node is not compatible with the old node.

Coming soon: Environmental Flow Manager - make orders generated at environmental flow nodes subject to entitlements within resource assessment systems, and trigger environmental flow actions based on entitlements available, in priority order!

Priority Ordering

Shortfalls can now be shared based on ownership using Scenario Options »Rules Based Ordering» Share shortfalls per owner instead of priorities. Otherwise, shortfalls are shared proportionally between demands (default behaviour), or you can set different ordering priorities Scenario Options »Rules Based Ordering»Ordering Priorities.

Supply Points

Extraction limits over a defined period of time can now be set for individual supply points. This is similar to the demand constraints at water users, however demand constraints set at a water user are used for all supply points attached to the water user. The new functionality will be useful if a water user is connected to two different water supply sources (eg. a regulated and unregulated supply point, or supply points in different systems).
