I am trying to model a ditch plug that doesn't reach the top of the bank. I want to check a weir vs. channel flow for the plug to see which is more likely to control. Since a reach node won't give me the elevation that the plug will back water to, I took a reach node, entered my plug info, took the resulting discharge table, and used that as a user-defined discharge in a pond node. My first question is if that is an accurate approach or not?
Assuming that the first part is OK, my second question is that if I try to model a weir and overland flow (primary and secondary) using the above approach, I will end up double counting the water above the plug during out-of-bank events. Any suggestions on resolving that?
