Supply connections may be assigned a flow capacity [Volume per time] that can never be exceeded. To add a flow capacity time series, enable

The flow capacity overrules all other rules that may try to force more water through the connection.
Example
A Water user may call for 5 m3/s. If the flow capacity of the supply connection has been set to e.g. 4 m3/s, the user will only receive max. 4 m3/s and hence suffer a deficit, even though there may be plenty of water at the source.
If the flow capacity of a supply connection is reached, the model will attempt to force the water in alternative direction. If this is not possible, the simulation will terminate with a message.
Note that for Water users, flow capacity time series in supply connections may also be specified in the Water user dialog.
