Total water volume

Wed, 08/11/2010 - 10:56am — Oliver_O
Hi Chris, I would like to know where I can get the Total water volume for specific output days? I have checked the snp.opt file but I only found the Spatial change [VOLSR] but I am interested in getting the total volume for different output days. I will appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi, If the water surface is relatively flat (as in a reservoir) you can estimate the volume by using the predicted water surface elevation and the volume-elevation curve generated by the pre-processor (look in the pre.opt file). I can't think of any place that the total volume is output in version 3.6. In version 3.7 there will be a feature that calculates "fish habitat volumes" that could be used to output a time series of total volume. Chris
