*       <<<<<<<<  SWMM 4.4 TRANSPORT DATA FILE >>>>>>>>>

*

*

*       This is an input data file to the SWMM 4.4 Transport Block

*       for modeling the transport of water quantity and quality within

*       the drainage system.  All lines with an asterisk in column 1

*       are comment lines and are ignored by the program.

*

*       Input data are free format and may be up to 230 columns wide.

*       You must have a value for every data column even if the program

*       will not actually use a given value.  Alternatively, a slash (/)

*       may be used to fill out a line with "no data input" or null-input.

*       This almost always means that those parameters will equal zero.

*       There must be at least one space between every input value.

*       Alphanumeric data should be enclosed in single quotes.

*

*       SWMM uses both U.S. customary units and metric units.  The

*       examples use feet, cfs, acres, inches and inches/hour.  If metric

*       is specified substitute meters, cms, hectares, millimeters and

*       millimeters/hour.

*       The SW card sets up the interface files to be used or created.

*       There is one output file (#9) which will contain the time series

*       of flows and pollutant loads for subsequent blocks.

*  NBLOCK  JIN(1)  JOUT(1)

SW    1      8       9

*   The MM card opens the scratch files to be used by different subroutines.

*   A certain number (up to 8 for TRANSPORT) is required for each block.

*     The @ command is used to permanently save an interface or

*     scratch file.  This line should be placed before the first SWMM

*     block call.  The format of the @ command is as follows:

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

*  NOTE: This file requires input from interface file RUNOFF.DNT.  This

*  must be supplied or else generated by first running RUNOFF.DOC.

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

*Column 1    Unit number of the       Name of the interface

*            interface file saved     file (any valid DOS filename)

*            or utilized

*

@             8                       'RUNOFF.DNT'

*** @             9                       'TR_OUT.INT'

$TRANSPORT    Call the TRANSPORT block with a '$' in first column.
