The first combobox in the Post-processing dialogue contains a list of all the available water balance types. This list is read from the water balance configuration file, MSHE_Wbl_Config.pfs, which is found in the MIKE SHE installation \bin directory. The default location of this directory depends on the operating system of your computer.
You can add extra items to the list of available water balance types by defining additional water balances at the end of the configuration file.
To illustrate how you could add an additional water balance type, the table below describes the format for each line of the water balance type definition. The example is for an extra water balance type to calculate the net vertical flow in a specified SZ layer. This water balance type can only be used with the single-cell resolution and specified output layers options.

When making custom water balance types the format of the default water balance configuration file must be maintained. Variable names, including names in square brackets, are case sensitive and the number of spaces in variable names must be consistent with the default configuration file.
