Problem

I am using a riser in my outlet structure and after computing, I get the following warning:

"Riser orifice equation controls at one or more headwater elevations"

Solution

This user notification means that the orifice equation is being used as the level of water rises above the top of the riser. The structure becomes completely submerged which is a different type of flow than when it is pouring into the structure.

This warning does not indicate a problem with the riser. It is just to notify you of the equation change.
