Inlet (Water Overlay)

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.

An inlet is a point-based construction. Template:Overlay attribute

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.
