Diversion from Reservoir
The Diversion from Reservoir user methods are applicable when a reservoir is linked to a diverting object (for example, AggDiversionSite, AggDistributionCanal, or Diversion Object). These methods simply create the slots which must be linked (by the user) to slots on the diverting object.
NoneThis is the default for the Diversion from Reservoir category. It is used when the reservoir is not linked to a diverting object. If the reservoir is linked to a diverting object and this method is selected, the object will not solve correctly.
There are no slots specific to this method.
Available Flow Based DiversionThis method must be selected when a reservoir is linked to either an AggDiversionSite, AggDistributionCanal, or a Diversion Object that is using the Available For Diversion Linked method. Selecting this method allows the Available for Diversion slot to be available for linking. The AggDiversionSite, AggDistributionCanal, and Diversion objects contain more information about diverting water from a reservoir.
