Wetland Outflow

The wetland releases water whenever the water volume exceeds the normal storage volume, $V_{nor}$. Wetland outflow is calculated:

$V_{flowout}=0$ if $V<V_{nor}$ 8:1.2.14

$V_{flowout}=\frac{V-V_{nor}}{10}$ if $V_{nor} \le V \le V_{mx}$ 8:1.2.15

$V_{flowout}=V-V_{mx}$ if $V>V_{mx}$ 8:1.2.16

where $V_{flowout}$ is the volume of water flowing out of the water body during the day (m$^3$ H$_2$O), $V$ is the volume of water stored in the wetland (m$^3$ H$_2$O), $V_{mx}$ is the volume of water held in the wetland when filled to the maximum water level (m$^3$ H$_2$O), and $V_{nor}$ is the volume of water held in the wetland when filled to the normal water level (m HO).
