System Element Data

Once the system elements have been created in the system plan, the calculation method for the individual system elements is selected and filled with the appropriate parameters. This is done in the data sheet for the respective system element.

The determination of parameters can vary greatly. Some are known (e.g. diameter of a circular pipe), others require extensive preliminary work in a GIS (e.g. the division of a subcatchment using soil maps, land use maps and the gradient determined from the DTM into areas reacting hydrologically and finally elementary areas).

Even if parameters are not known and should be the object of a calibration, they must be filled with a first estimate as a start for the calibration.
