Volume discharge in ICPR

Volume discharge in ICPR

Volume discharge in ICPR

(OP)
Good morning,
I am working on designing a pond that has two discharge structures in ICPR. Each structure discharges to a seperate wetland.  The modle I am working on is to determin if the proposed development will dry out the wetlands. The problem I am having is in determining the volume of discharge that each wetland is reciving. Both structures have weirs set at the same elevation, but only one has a bleeder due to the elevation differences in each wetland. Dose anyone know how to find this information? The only thought I had was to use the Link "time serise" report to get the flow at a give time interval and multiply them together. Do this for all the time intervals and then add them up.
Thank you in advance,
Steven

RE: Volume discharge in ICPR

I would do a NODE time series report for the node representing each of the receiving wetlands.  

The last two columns in the default node time series report are "Total Vol In" and "Total Vol Out".

I would make sure my simulations run long enough to represent as much of the hydrograph as practical (there can sometimes be some significant volume in the trailing hydrograph that I would no be concerned with when modeling for peaks).  Then, set the Start Time of the report to be as close to the end of the simulation as possible, since we are looking for the total volume after a storm event.
