RainBarrel Properties

Properties

Areas A list specifying part of LID area on catchment surfaces.
BarrelArea Area of (all) barrels handled by this instance.
CollectingAreas A list specifying LID collecting areas on catchment surfaces.

When entry with the same SurfaceID is also present in Areas then the entry in this list correspond to additional collecting area, which will define collecting surface. This effectively gives that the sum of all collecting areas may be smaller than TotalCollectingArea.

Connections A list specifying connection to other LIDs where the water needs to be transferred.
Evaporation Evaporation in the LID at the current time step Unit: [m/s]
(Inherited from LIDBaseOffers)
FlowStat Flow statistics and mass balance
FractionOfLIDFlowToRoute 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]

Infiltration Infiltration in the LID at the current time step Unit: [m/s]
(Inherited from LIDBaseOffers)
InitialSaturation Initial saturation fraction.

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

Default value: 0. Unit: [fraction].

Name Name of the LID
ReportPath 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.

Runoff Current runoff from LID [m3/s]
Storage Storage of barrel
TotalCollectingArea 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.
