Hydrocad Equalizing Ponds
Hydrocad Equalizing Ponds
(OP)
I have two ponds on one site that are going to be connected with a pipe. I have it set up for the East Pond to have a culvert outlet to go into the west pond. I have the same starting elevation in both ponds at 3.0'. The invert of the outlet culvert on the east pond is 2.0. The west pond is where I have my main outlet and an emergency overflow weir. I can't get the east pond water surface to change when the water surface in the west pond raises. I am running the dyn stor ind method.
I don't want to run both ponds in one pond with multiple storage definitions. I just want to be sure that the equalizing pipe between the ponds works as it should.
Any help or suggestions?

If you want to model a reversing flow (west to east, then east to west) you need to use a reverse outlet in conjunction with the SimRoute procedure. For details see www.hydrocad.net/simroute.htm
