Flow loss time series

Return flow connections may lose water due to seepage and /or evaporation. If these processes are considered to be of importance they may be included in the model as a time series that specifies the losses. Both seepage and evaporation can be specified as a fraction of the actual flow (dimensionless), or as flux (volume per time).

To add a flow loss time series, enable ‘has flow loss’, click the 3dotbutton00034.png button and click Browse... to select an existing flow loss time series or click on Cre­ate a new file… to open the ‘Create a new file’ dialogue.

If groundwater is defined in the catchment where the return flow point is located (where the return flow connection terminates) seepage loss is added to this groundwater storage.
