Tip: this shows your recent residual flow results - you'll need to create again if no longer in this list.

Please note that residual flow diagrams are only visible to regulator users (due to data rights).

Getting flow estimates and data

Right click for the map to get options for that location:

Grid info at XXXXXX,YYYYYY

  • Get grid information (e.g. hydrometric area, runoff, rainfall, evaporation) at the point location.

Define catchment

  • Define a catchment boundary for flow estimation.

The location of the catchment outlet will jump to the nearest point on the drainage network. Tip: make sure the drainage network layer is visible first.

Residual flows

  • Define a reach for residual flow estimation

Add feature

  • Create a new artificial influence feature or gauge.

Upload boundary

  • Upload a catchment boundary shape file for flow estimation.
