OL Drainage Options

By default, the OL Drainage function routes the available ponded water to the OL drainage network. However, the available ponded depth does not include the detention storage. If you want to route all of the ponded water in a cell - including the water in detention storage - to the OL Drainage network, then you can define the following Extra Parameter:

Parameter Name

Type

Value

allow paved rout­ing of detention storage

Boolean

On

By default the OL Drainage will occur no matter the elevation of the destina­tion cell. In some cases this could lead to unrealistic drainages. For example, OL drainage on a flood plain mapped to a river will always drain to the river, even if the river is higher than the drain level. To counter such unrealistic con­ditions, this Extra Parameter will prevent OL drainage in the case where the drain level is below the bed level of the river.

Note: This check is between the Drain level and the Bed level - not between the dynamic water levels.

Parameter Name

Type

Value

check OL-drain level against bed level'

Boolean

On

The interaction between the multi-cell OL solution and the OL drainage is complex and could lead to some unexpected results. Further, the multi-cell OL solution is more likely to be used as a more physical representation of the drainage rendering the OL drainage obsolete in this case. This option allows you to disable OL drainage when using the multi-cell OL approach.

Parameter Name

Type

Value

disable multi-cell OL-drainage

Boolean

On
