HEC HMS Detention Pond Pump

HEC HMS Detention Pond Pump

HEC HMS Detention Pond Pump

(OP)
I have a simple detention pond with a pump. I have modeled everything, it runs, but my reservoir outflow is 0. What am I missing? Any suggestions?

RE: HEC HMS Detention Pond Pump

You need to provide more details about your model.

RE: HEC HMS Detention Pond Pump

Is your runoff node generating runoff into the pond?

RE: HEC HMS Detention Pond Pump

(OP)
Yes I have an inflow. I set up a weir just to see if the pond would have outflow then and it does. I know I am missing something simple with setting up my pump. I set initial elevation, assumed no tail water, put in pump curve (elev - discharge table). Filled in the on and off elevations and the elevations of pumping from and to. Do I need a node after the reservoir?

RE: HEC HMS Detention Pond Pump

check your reservoir's initial condition/elevation, pump's intake elevation.

RE: HEC HMS Detention Pond Pump

I am having issues trying to use pump outlet in the reservoir and keep getting this error. has anyone had this issue before and any suggestions to model pumps in HEC HMS would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
