Hello,
How to model a well in watercad having a known constant outflow?
thank you
Deal thank you again for your assistance! Really helpful
With only fixed demands downstream, a reservoir + pump will produce a flow equal to the sum of the demands (which I assume is 65 l/s) and will add head so that you can simulate pressures in the network. If you have an estimate of the amount of head the pump will add, you can use the "design point" pump type and enter that head with the corresponding 65 l/s flow point. It would be best to get information from the pump manufacturer. Plus you may need information about the well water level and drawdown effects. See the third link I had provided earlier: Accounting for well drawdown

Deal thank you so much fo your help!!So my only option is to get the pump info and work as Joeri Legierse mentioned
An FCV will throttle to reduce the flow but that only works if a headloss causes a drop in flow. If you have a model with fixed demands, the flow from the source is essentially fixed and will always be equal to the sum of the downstream demands. Attempting to use an FCV in such a case would result in an ill-conditioned matrix. See more here: Using a Flow Control Valve (FCV)
Ohh that’s it!! I am sorry to bother but shouldn’t an FCV do the job?
