notification warning "The composite outlet structure EQT has one or more headwater elevations with reverse flow conditions. Calculated reverse flow may be approximate."

Hi,

I am getting the notification stated above in my question. 

If I want to portray reverse flow is that something I need to worry about fixing or is it just warning me there is reverse flow so I am aware of it? 

Please advise. 

Thanks,

Paola

  • Paola,

    This is an informational notification and does not mean there is a problem. It is warning you that if reverse flow conditions occur (downstream tailwater higher than upstream headwater), the calculated reverse flow will be approximate based on the rating curve calculations. You may want to check and confirm that the EQT values in the table look reasonable if you expect reverse flow to occur.
