Results and Discussion

The VO results present three conditions:

1. Existing conditions – Wetland depth under current conditions.
2. Post-development (observed GW levels) – Wetland depth using observed groundwater levels.
3. Post-development (simulated GW levels) – Wetland depth using simulated groundwater levels.

For each simulation year, generate a hydrograph displaying the modelled pre-development and post-development wetland storage levels. The average storage depth for each Julian day (e.g., February 19 = Day 50) during the pre-development period should be calculated and used to establish upper and lower 95% confidence interval boundaries. These confidence intervals, which remain consistent across all years, should be plotted alongside the modelled wetland storage on each hydrograph.

*Note: VO includes a built-in tool to calculate and plot confidence intervals, eliminating the need for additional manual calculations.

Figure 1 presents a hypothetical hydrograph for all simulation years for comparing pre- and post-development using the existing GW level and post-development using the simulated GW level.
Table 1 presents the number and percentage of days out of the confidence interval.

Figure 2 presents a hypothetical hydrograph for all simulation years for comparing pre- and post-development with control using the existing GW level and post-development with control using the simulated GW level.

Table 2 presents the number and percentage of days out of the confidence interval.
