CatchmentTimeArea Class

Constructor of CatchmentTimeArea

Additional constant flow added to the total runoff Unit: [m3/s] Default: 0

Full area of catchment Type: Catchment area Unit: [km2] Default: 100

Get and set the list of coordinates of the catchment

Catchment name.

The name is not unique, there may be several catchment models for one catchment, however all catchments with the same name should/must share the same catchment geometry.

List of CatchmentTimeAreaCell sorted from downstream to upstream. Created during prepare

Get and set the central point of the catchment

A Component Source provides info on concentration of various components.

Concentration time used to defined the number of cells of this catchment. Unit: [s]

True if evaporation is enabled, and an evaporation boundary has been defined.

If set to false the initial recover rate is used during dry periods. Default: False

The impervious area is a factor which defines the part of the catchment considered to contribute to the runoff. Unit: [-]

True if infiltration shall occur also after rain Default: True

Maximum value of InitialLossStorageDepth Unit: [m]
