WinSLAMM Weir Modeling Question

WinSLAMM Weir Modeling Question

WinSLAMM Weir Modeling Question

(OP)
I am trying to model a pond using WinSLAMM.  When I enter my data for a sharp-crested weir, a "Stage-Invert Warning" box pops up with the message, "The elevation at the top of the weir is not equal to the highest pond elevation, which is x.xx."  However, when I look back at the pond staging data, the highest pond elevation shown is in fact x.xx.  I have tried adjusting the numbers by a hundredth and it does not appear to be a rounding issue.  Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!

RE: WinSLAMM Weir Modeling Question

It sounds like you are modeling the weir as an emergency spillway at the top of your pond berm.  If so you need to be looking at your weir input as the warning suggested.  I am not familiar with the program but have seen similiar warnings.  The top of your weir input data needs to coincide with the top of the pond.
