Reservoir Concentration

Overview

Reservoir concentration represents the concentration of constituents attached to reservoir sources.

Tables

Example

# Description:
# BBID EC concentration in Clifton Court Forebay
RESERVOIR_CONCENTRATION
NAME RES_NAME VARIABLE FILLIN FILE PATH
dicu_drain_bbid clifton_court ec last ../../timeseries/dicuwq_3vals_extended.dss /DICU-HIST+RSVR/BBID/DRAIN-EC//1MON/DWR-BDO/
END

The RESERVOIR_CONCENTRATION table attaches concentrations to boundary and source flows defined in QUAL. The table also assigns a time series to the source.

Field Descriptions

  • NAME: Name assigned to the source. An entry here must have the same name as an entry in the BOUNDARY_STAGE, BOUNDARY_FLOW, or SOURCE_FLOW tables. By matching names, you attach concentrations to the flow.
  • NODE_NO: Node number where the flow is applied. This must match the node number given in the original flow table.
  • VARIABLE: Constituent name. If no output is requested for the constituent, it will be ignored.
  • FILLIN: Method for filling in data if the time step of the assigned series is coarser than the time step of the model.
  • FILE: DSS or text file in which data are stored. Use consistent case when referring to the same file. You may also enter the word constant if you would like to assign a constant value to the input (the value will be entered in the next column).
  • PATH: The path within the text or DSS file of the time series data. If you used the constant keyword in the Input File column, enter the value (e.g., 4.22) here.

Table Info

  • Identifier: NAME
  • Include Block: QUAL_TIME_SERIES

Multiple sources and sinks can be assigned to a reservoir. They are often kept separate to assign different concentrations to them.
