hru_ps

Fraction of HRU area at principal spillway

dp_ps

Average depth of water at principal spillway

hru_es

Fraction of HRU area at emergency spillway

dp_es

Average depth of water at emergency spillway

k

Hydraulic conductivity of the wetland bottom

If seepage occurs in the wetland, the hydraulic conductivity must be set to a value other than 0.

evap

Wetland evaporation coefficient

This coefficient is a linear multiplier for PET that can be used to de- or increase wetland evaporation.

vol_area_co

Volume surface area coefficient for HRU impoundment

vol_dp_a

Volume depth coefficient for HRU impoundment

vol_dp_b

Volume depth coefficient for HRU impoundment

hru_frac

Fraction of HRU that drains into wetland
