Groundwater parameters should be applied to model the groundwater flow between an aquifer and the drainage system node.
Parameter Name | Description | Default Value |
---|---|---|
Aquifer | Aquifer object that lies below subcatchment (leave blank for no groundwater). | |
Receiving Node | The node name which receives groundwater from the aquifer | |
Surface Elevation [m] | Elevation of ground surface for the subcatchment (m or ft). | 0 |
Groundwater Flow Coeff. | Multiplier of the distance between actual and threshold GW levels | 0 |
Groundwater Flow Expon. | Exponent of the distance between actual and threshold level GW levels | 0 |
Surface Water Flow Coeff. | Multiplier of the distance between surface water level and threshold GW level | 0 |
Surface Water Flow Expon. | Exponent of the distance between surface water level and threshold GW level | 0 |
Surface-GW Interaction Coeff. | Multiplier of the product of GW height and surface water height above aquifer bottom. | 0 |
Fixed Surface water Depth [m] | Fixed depth of surface water at receiving node (ft or m) (set to zero if surface water depth will vary as computed by flow routing | 0 |
Threshold Groundwater Elev. [m] | Groundwater elevation that must be reached before any flow occurs (ft or m). leave blank to use the receiving node’s invert elevation. | |
Bottom Elevation [m] | Elevation of the bottom of the aquifer | |
Water Table Elevation [m] | Elevation of the water table in the aquifer at the start of the simulation | |
Unsat. Zone Moisture | Moisture content of the unsaturated upper zone of the aquifer at the start of the simulation (fraction). |
