    I have tried to replicate the calculations using the standard weir equation [Q = CLH^(3/2)], but have since realized that PondPack must be applying an additional factor to the calculation that is based on the head, because the factor varies as the head…

    Yes, the stage-discharge table can be entered as a user-defined rating curve in a composite outlet structure connected to a pond. The stage-storage would be entered in the pond itself, by selecting elevation-volume as the pond volume type.
