Object type of the receiving object

The receiving object can be specified by entering "cha" for channels, "res" for reservoirs, or "aqu" for aquifers. If non of these three options is entered, SWAT+ assumes that the water is transferred to an object outside the modeled watershed and thus lost from the system. By entering a name in this column, the user can make sure that the receiving object is included in the water allocation output file.
