Water Balance

Water balance output can be printed at basin, LSU, HRU, and HRU-lte level by entering "y" in the basin_wb, lsunit_wb, hru_wb, and hru-lte_wb lines in print.prt, respectively. Water balance output can be printed at daily, monthly, yearly, and average annual time steps. The names of the water balance output files are as follows:

• basin_wb_day.txt

• basin_wb_mon.txt

• basin_wb_yr.txt

• basin_wb_aa.txt

• lsunit_wb_day.txt

• lsunit_wb_mon.txt

• lsunit_wb_yr.txt

• lsunit_wb_aa.txt

• hru_wb_day.txt

• hru_wb_mon.txt

• hru_wb_yr.txt

• hru_wb_aa.txt

• hru-lte_wb_day.txt

• hru-lte_wb_mon.txt

• hru-lte_wb_yr.txt

• hru-lte_wb_aa.txt
