RainBarrel Properties

The RainBarrel type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyBarrelArea
Area of (all) barrels handled by this instance.
Public propertyFlowStat
Flow statistics and mass balance
Public propertyFractionOfLIDFlowToRoute
Fraction of runoff flow from the LIDs that are routed by the catchment. The remainder will be added directly to the catchment runoff (not routed).

The different catchment types may treat this differently.

Default value: 1. Unit: [fraction]

Public propertyInitialSaturation
Initial saturation fraction.

For storage, this fraction is used to calculate the initial storage depth.

Default value: 0. Unit: [fraction].

Public propertyName
Name of the LID
Public propertyReportPath
Path and name for report file.

If null or empty, no report file is created.

Use only for testing and validating model - file can become quite big.

Public propertyRunoff
Current runoff from LID [m3/s]
Public propertyStorage
Storage of barrel
Public propertyTotalCollectingArea
Total collecting area is the area from which water is routed through the LIDS, either because rain is falling directly on the LIDs (Area) or when catchment rain (after losses) is routed to the LIDs.

This area is used by the catchment to figure out how much water should be routed to the LIDs, effectively splitting the catchment area in 3 parts:

catchment-No-LID-Area       = ICatchment.Area - sum(IStormwaterLID.TotalCollectingArea)
catchment-Route-To-LID-Area = sum(IStormwaterLID.TotalCollectingArea - IStormwaterLID.Area)
LID-area                    = sum(IStormwaterLID.Area)
The sum of all 3 contributions is the area of the catchment.

The TotalCollectingArea cannot be smaller than Area.

The sum of all TotalCollectingArea for all LIDs within a single catchment must be less than the area of the catchment they belong to.
