A wetland is a complex hydrological unit with features including a connection between a water source and a water body or storage. Multiple storages can be interconnected to form a complex system. In some systems, wetlands consist of several storages connected using wetland links. In others, a wetland can connect directly to a main river channel. Wetlands may have ecological, recreational, cultural or consumptive requirements and thus behave in a similar way to some functions of the water user node.
Wetland Hydraulic connector node
Wetland Link
This link is used to connect storages in a wetland, or a wetland to a river. These links use a hydraulic model. There are different types of wetland link to reflect differences in hydraulic properties - eg. conveyances, weirs, pumps and culverts. Once a wetland link has been specified, double click it to configure it using the wetland link feature editor (Figure 8).
