    I have run my model and received a very high continuity error in a specific pond in my model. My pond is going to an outlet structure and then an oufall somewhere else in the model is using that pond for a boundary condition. When i plot HGL, flow in…

    Jesse Dringoli
    Jesse Dringoli
    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.
