Tailwater analysis
Tailwater analysis
(OP)
Hi,
I tried yesterday to set up a model that incorporated tailwater. The model is calculating using the Stor-Ind routing method. The tailwater for two ponds are both set at the same elevation (592) and the results are showing submerged outlets at elevations 589 to 591.5 moving as much as 26.72 cfs.
I have attached the file here while HydroCAD is closed so hopefully the file is readable.
I have tried multiple iterations of various tailwater analysis methods but have yet to get anything that truly makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Looking at the PDF, pond 2P looks fine. The peak eleveation of 592.48 is higher than the TW of 592.0, so there will be discharge through all the outlets that are submerged.
