Just as a consumer can receive external contributions, it can also deliver water to areas outside of the modelled system. Such a situation exists e.g. if a waterworks facility has to serve several supply areas, of which at least one is not part of the modeled system. Or if a sewer system discharges water into a body of water outside of the modeled system. More generally, it can be used to model the transfer of water from a modeled catchment to a catchment outside of the system. In such a case, a consumer behaves like a diversion, where three different concepts are conceivable (for a detailed explanation of the options, see the diversion element).
- Threshold value concept
- If the return flow from the consumer exceeds a certain threshold value, the portion of flow above the threshold value is diverted and not returned to the system.
- Percentage distribution
- A certain percentage of the water flowing back to the system from the consumer is diverted to an external area and not returned to the system.
- Diversion according to a rating curve
- The amount of flow diverted to external areas depends on the current return flow of the consumer.
