Adding and Editing Outlet Structures to a Pond - By Pond
147
NOTE
Inflow structures are typically only used to accommodate base flow that is
already flowing into the pond.
You can add multiple structures to the design by using the hydrology
calculators. You can use these calculators to calculate the flow rate for the
structure, or you can load structure files that you have previously saved.
By default, each structure you add is active. This is controlled by the Active
check box in the Outflow dialog box. You can clear the Active check box to
remove a structure from the current calculations, which is useful when you
want to see how the stage-discharge curves and rating curves are affected by
different combinations of structures.
When you have completed your design of the inflow and outflow structures,
you can save the files as rating (.rtc) or stage-discharge curves (.sdc) to use for
calculating the pond routing with the Storage Indication Method command or
the Detention Basin Storage command.
NOTE
Once .sdb and .dbf files are created using AutoCAD Land Development
Desktop Release 2, they may not be used with any earlier version of the
Desktop.
