Apply Gain Loss
This method category controls how the (Variable) GainLoss Coeff is applied to find the Outflow. This category is only available for the Muskingum and Muskingum-Cunge routing methods.
* Current Outflow
This method applies the (Variable) GainLoss Coeff to the total routed outflow, which is the way that the GainLoss Coeff is applied to most Routing methods.
The equation for the final outflow is as follows:
    
There are no slots specific to this method.
* Previous Flow Average
This method applies the (Variable) GainLoss Coeff to the average of the previous timestep’s inflow and outflow. This is done in order to allow the Muskingum-Cunge and the Muskingum method to use the same equations for loss.
The equation for the final outflow is as follows:
    
There are no slots specific to this method.
