Previous Topic  Next Topic 

*       Create title lines for the simulation.  There are two title lines

*       for the Runoff Block.  Titles are enclosed in single quotes.

*============================================================================

*       A1 Line       :

*          Title      :  Two lines (both with A1 identifier) with heading

*                        to be printed on output.

*                        Each line has format A76 (76 characters, maximum).

*============================================================================

A1  'RUNOFF example: parabolic channels, groundwater, water quality'

A1  'Lake modeled as a wide parabolic channel with outlet weir'

*============================================================================

*       The 'B' lines are for program control purposes.

*       B1 Line       :

*          METRIC     :  Metric input-output.

*                        = 0, Use U.S. customary units

*                        = 1, Use metric units.  Metric input indicated

*                             in brackets [] in remainder of this table.

*          ISNOW      :  Snowmelt parameter.

*                        = 0, Snowmelt not simulated.

*                        = 1, Single event snowmelt simulation.

*                        = 2, Continuous snowmelt simulation.

*          NRGAG      :  Number of hyetographs (rain gages),

*                        Maximum is limited by MAXRG parameter in Tapes.inc

*          INFILM     :  Choice of infiltration equation

*                        = 0, Horton equation used.

*                        = 1, Green-Ampt equation used.

*                        = 2, Horton equation with maximum infiltration

*                             volume limiting infiltration.

*                 In this version, the available infiltration volume for the

*                 Horton option will recover during dry periods.

*                        = 3, Green-Ampt equation with maximum infiltration

*                             volume limiting infiltration.

*               DON'T USE INFILM = 3 TEMPORARILY.  WCH, 6/10/97.

*                 In this version, 3 for G-A can only be used for single

*                 event simulation as the infiltration volume is not

*                 regenerated during dry periods.

*          KWALTY     :  Quality (or erosion) simulated?

*                        = 0, No.

*                        = 1, Yes.

*          IVAP       :  Evaporation parameter

*                        = 0, Evaporation data not read in,

*                             default rate used of 0.1 in/day [3.0 mm/day].

*                        = 1, Read monthly evaporation data in Group F1

*                             in units of inch/day [mm/day].

*                        = 2, Read monthly evaporation data in Group F1

*                        = 4, Read evaporation time series on NSCRAT(3)

*                             file as created by the TEMP Block of SWMM.

*                     NOTE! If it is desired to have no (zero) evaporation

*                     during time steps when it is raining or snowing, input

*                     IVAP as a negative number, i.e., IVAP = -1, -2, -3

*                     or -4 instead of a positive number.  This option can

*                     only be used if IVAP not equal to 0.  If IVAP < 0,

*                     there will be zero surface or subsurface evaporation

*                     during any time step with rain or snow on that

*                     subcatchment and zero evaporation from all channel/

*                     pipes if there is rain or snow on any subcatchment.

*                     Normal evaporation continues when precipitation = 0.

*

*          NHR        :  Hour of day of start of storm (24 hour clock,

*                        midnight = 00).

*          NMN        :  Minute of hour of start of storm (0 - 59).

*          NDAY       :  Day of month of start of simulation ( 1 - 31).

*          MONTH      :  Month of start of simulation (1 - 12).

*          IYRSTR     :  Year of start of simulation (4 digits).

*                        If less than 4 digits are entered, then

*                     Optional input to control evaporation on

*                     channels but does not need to be entered.

*                     If not entered or 0, then the default is to allow

*                     evaporation as controlled by IVAP.

*                     IF 1 then evaporation is never allowed from channels.

*

*          IVCHAN     :  0  - Allow evaporation from channels.

*                     :  1  - Don't allow evaporation from channels.

*   The B3 line contains time step and duration-of-run parameters.

*   The program starts at date/time indicated on line B1.  It then

*   uses time steps WET, WETDRY and DRY to simulate to an ending date/time

*   specified by parameter LONG.

*

*       B3 Line       :

*          WET        :  Wet time step (seconds). WET must be => 1 second.

*                        Typical: 60-300-900 sec for event simulation; 900

*                        or 3600 sec for continuous simulation.  WET time

*                        step is used only during time steps with precip.

*          WETDRY     :  Transition (no rain but water on surface or in

*                        channels) between wet and dry time step (seconds).

*                        WETDRY is used during 1) residual overland flow

*                        (no precipitation), 2) residual channel/pipe flow,

*                        3) snowmelt, 4) groundwater outflow to channel/

*                        pipes.  WETDRY should be greater than or equal

*                        to WET and less than or equal to DRY.

*                        Typical: = WET for event simulation; 3600 - 7200

*                        for continuous simulation.

*                        Note, decrease WETDRY toward WET for better

*                        resolution and lower continuity errors, but at

*                        the expense of greater computer time during

*                        continuous simulation.

*          DRY        :  Dry time step (seconds).  DRY must be greater

*                        than or equal to WET.  Typical: = WET for event

*                        simulation; 7200 - 86400 sec for continuous

*                        simulation.  DRY time step principally affects

*                        groundwater ET and deep percolation and residual

*                        surface evaporation and infiltration.

*

*        Note: DRY and WETDRY time steps are only approximated during

*        time intervals with no precipitation.  Thus, print-outs may

*        occur at intervals that do not correspond exactly to DRY

*        or WETDRY.

*

*          LUNIT      :  Units of LONG (simulation length).

*                        = 0, seconds.    = 1, minutes.

*                        = 2, hours.      = 3, days.

*                        = 4, ending date, a eight figure number

*                          (year/mo/dy), e.g. 19870730.

*                          If year is two digits, program assumes 1900.

*          LONG       :  Simulation length (units from LUNIT).  A real

*                        number, not an integer.

*          PCTZER     :  Percent of impervious area with zero detention

*                        (immediate runoff).  Default = 25%.

*          REGEN      :  For continuous SWMM, infiltration capacity is

*                        regenerated using a Horton type exponential rate

*                        constant equal to REGEN*DECAY, where DECAY is the

*                        Horton rate constant read in for each subcatchment

*                        in group H1.  Default = 0.01.  Not required for

*                        Green-Ampt infiltration.

*============================================================================

*                        essentially give weight to temperatures only

*                        during the past day.

*          RNM        :  Ratio of negative melt coefficient to melt

*                        coefficient.  "Negative melt coefficient" is used

*                        when snow is warming or cooling below the base melt

*   time interval DTAIR, for a total of NAIRT values.  (Maximum number

*   of values = 200.  If more are needed, use ISNOW = 2 option.)  DTAIR,

*   constant over the air time step.
