Node Types

Nodes represent a physical entity or process within the system that occurs on a relatively localised basis. A water use node represents urban water demand and water consumption behaviour. The Urban Developer Plugin offers two methods for simulating water use behaviour:

Average daily model (see Average Water Use node)
Behavioural model (the Behavioural Water Use node)

The following table lists the node models currently available within the Urban Developer Plugin. Each node is represented by a specific icon. The table outlines the function of each node model; other sections of this User Guide contain a more comprehensive description of each node model.

Icon	Node Name	Description
	Roof	A roof node represents a physical roof catchment surface.
	Tank	A tank is a type of storage used in domestic and industrial settings to store water from runoff, recycled water or a mains supply and to release it in a controlled manner.
	Average Water use	A water use node representing average urban water demand and water consumption behaviour.
	Behavioural Water use	A water use node represents urban water demand and water consumption behaviour, based on a stochastic end-use demand simulation
