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
