Connectivity

Gravity-controlled flow is routed from one spatial object to the next using so-called connect files, which are available for the following objects:

ObjectConnect file

HRU

hru.con

HRU-lte

hru-lte.con

Routing Unit

rout_unit.con

Aquifer

aquifer.con

SWAT-DEG channel

chandeg.con

Reservoir

reservoir.con

Point source/inlet

recall.con

Export coefficient

exco.con

Delivery ratio

delratio.con

Outlet

outlet.con

All connect files have the exact same structure, so to avoid repetition it is only described once instead of for every spatial object (see 'object'.con). The connectivity between objects can be changed during the simulation using Decision Tables.

If the user wishes to connect an aquifer to more than one channel, the aqu_cha.lin file can be used instead of the aquifer connect file.
