Inlets are points where water is either added to or removed from the hydrological model. It will add or remove water at a defined maximum rate, with optional thresholds for the amount of water to add or remove.

Waterwizard icon inlet.png An inlet is a point-based construction.

Lower threshold (Water Overlay) Upper threshold (Water Overlay)

Icon Key Unit Range Description Default value
Waterwizard icon inlet area.png INLET_AREA boolean When true the Inlet is spread across the entire building surface. 0
Waterwizard icon inlet q.png INLET_Q m3/sec The maximum amount of water flowing into the model through this Inlet. A negative value means the building functions as an outlet, and water is removed from the hydrological model. 0
Waterwizard icon inlet capacity.png INLET_CAPACITY m3 The maximum amount of water which can flow in or out through this Building. Water flowing back in the other direction replenishes the capacity. 0

Notes

  • Each Inlet attribute functions as a limit to the flow. If multiple are defined, the flow is limited by the strongest limit. If neither an INLET_Q or any threshold is defined, there will be no flow.
  • A negative INLET_Q changes the Inlet to an Outlet.
  • The lower and upper thresholds can be seen as a the lowest and highest of "range" of valid water levels. If the actual water level does not fall in the specified range, the inlet will allow water to flow in or out (depending on the configuration) to correct the water level.
