Existing Flow Thru Pond
Existing Flow Thru Pond
(OP)
I have an existing pipe that is flowing into a large wetland(31 cfs), we are building a new detention pond that I would like the existing pipe to flow into but the pond not hold or account for this flow (free flow through the ponds outlet). Is there any way to use hydrocad to allow this flow to be released without being calculated in the pond storage or added to the new inflow volumes?





RE: Existing Flow Thru Pond
If you are "building a new detention pond", then you need to include all the inflows in your calculation.
I suspect you're trying to compare existing vs. proposed conditions. If this is the case, run one model for each and compare the results. But you need to include all the inflows (even the existing flow you want to release) in order to get a valid model.
