The Attributes tab enables users to record details about the flow basin. The fields on this tab are described below:
Infiltration & Inflow Days |
The number of days of infiltration and inflow recorded within a year for the flow basin in this record. |
Infilt & Inflow T&T Cost |
The cost of treating and transporting the infiltration and inflow (I/I) for a year. |
Pres Worth Factor |
The value of the flow basin. The Present Worth Factor is a constant based on the projected life of the pipe and on inflation. This number, multiplied by the annual cost of transporting and treating the I/I, equals the amount of money needed today to transport and treat the I/I over the life of the basin. |
Base Infilt (gpd) |
The normal level of groundwater infiltration, as measured in gallons per day. |
High GW Infilt (gpd) |
The peak infiltration level during high groundwater periods (usually due to rainfall), as measured in gallons per day. |
Inflow (gpd) |
The peak inflow, as measured in gallons per day. |
Flow Basin Outlets
The Flow Basin Outlets grid allows users to document the outlet pipes for the current flow basin. Outlet pipes are all pipes that flow out of the basin into the downstream flow basin(s).
A sample of the grid appears below. Sort records in the grid by clicking on the headings. An up or down arrow (highlighted in orange below) indicates whether data appear in ascending or descending order.
How To Add a New Outlet
Note: The pipe must already exist in Pipe Inventory.
