The flow created by a pump is calculated based on the lowest end point of the pump.

Δw = min( WHlower , Δt * PS )

Where:

  • Δw = The amount water water pumped from the lower to the higher endpoint.
  • Δt = Computational timestep.
  • WHlower = The height of the water column at the lower end of the pump, relative to the terrain.
  • PS = The PUMP_SPEED of the pump.
