River Network

The River network forms the basis of all Basin  applications. The river network is defined as a combination of connected river segments and compu­tational nodes , and module specific features are then generally added to the model using the river network as a base (river network example illustrated in Figure 6.1)

Additional river network details:

·         Computational points comprise a number of different features for which points are inserted in the network when these are defined (e.g. catch­ment nodes for catchment inflow and river nodes where branches are connected.

·         Inflow to the River network is provided by Catchments (see Catchments).
