&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Porous Media is responsible for handling all water fluxes in soil, including water transport due to the balance between pressure (gravity and suction) and resistance trough the medium, infiltration, evapotranspiration and link with the river (groundwater flow).&lt;br /&gt;
Soil fluxes are calculated by the Buckingham-Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991) and the connections with surface runoff and river are done using the same formulation where the surface water Head is the water level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Porous Media Geometry===&lt;br /&gt;
Porous Media is a 3D domain delimited in its upper limit by topography and lower limit by soil bottom (defined by user).&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of soil definition it can be defined vertical horizons to correspond to real soil horizons with different hydraulic carachteristics.&lt;br /&gt;
See the picture below for information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;htm&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/jovem/folders/Jing/media/b9ef6c79-c1d1-46ea-94f7-623471c15883/MohidLandSoilProfile.png&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/jovem/folders/Jing/media/b9ef6c79-c1d1-46ea-94f7-623471c15883/MohidLandSoilProfile.png&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;650&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;436&amp;quot;  border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/htm&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Flow===&lt;br /&gt;
Soil contains a large distribution of pore sizes and channels through which water may flow. In general, the water flow determination is based on the mass conservation and momentum equation [[Equations]]. In the case of soil it is assumed that acceleration is close to zero since velocities are very low; therefore the balance is reduced to the forces of pressure, gravity and viscous. The equation that describes the flow through soil is the Buckingham Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v=-K\left ( \theta  \right )\left ( \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_i}  \right )\,\,\,\,(1.1) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''v'' || is the water velocity at the cell interface (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''H'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''θ'' || is the water content (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''K''|| is the hydraulic conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''x_i''|| is direction i&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hydraulic head is given by the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H=h+p+z\,\,\,\,(1.2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''p'' || is hydrostatic pressure (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''z''|| is the topography  (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in saturated conditions, hydraulic head is zero and hydrostatic pressure may occur (if water is at rest or decelerating). In unsaturated conditions, hydrostatic pressure is zero and hydraulic head exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soil is a very complex system, made up of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, liquid, and gaseous material. The liquid phase consists of soil water, which fills part or all of the open spaces between the soil particles. Therefore it is possible to divide the soil into two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Saturated soil  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unsaturated one &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water and air&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, the equation of Buckingham Darcy is simplified to the Darcy law and the parameter associated with its resolution are connected with the saturated layer. On the other hand for the resolution of the equation (1.1) a description of the characteristics of the unsaturated layer is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vadose Zone===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many vadose flow and transport studies require description of unsaturated soil hydraulic proprieties over a wide range of pressure heads. The hydraulic proprieties are described using the porous size distribution model of Maulem (1976) for hydraulic conductivity in combination with a water retention function introduced by Van Genuchten (1980). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water content====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water content is the quantity of water contained in the soil (called '''soil moisture'''). It is given as a volumetric basis and it is defined mathematically as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta = \frac{V_w}{V_T}\,\,\,\,(1.3) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T = V_s + V_v = V_s + V_w + V_a\,\,\,\,(1.4)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_w&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; '' || is the volume of water (m s&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the total volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the soil volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the air space (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial Condition===&lt;br /&gt;
The user may define a water content initialization or choose the model to compute in the unsaturated area heads so that soil water is at [[Field Capacity]].&lt;br /&gt;
The below explains the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once determined the aquifer level ('''water table''') the water content is associated at each cells by the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located above the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located over the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the saturated soil  (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the non saturated soil   (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to calculate field capacity by the equation (1.7) the evaluation of the suction head is needed :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h=-DWZ\cdot 0.5\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, cells\,\, immediately\,\, above\,\, the\,\, water\,\, table \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (1.5)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h=-(-DZZ-h)\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, other\,\, cells\,\,\,\, (1.6) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure05.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 1: Suction Head Calculation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As shown in the picture the suction head is calculated in order to maintain the same total head (H = z + p + h) in the cells in agreement with the field capacity definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water retention===&lt;br /&gt;
The model use for characterizing the shape of water retention curves is the van Genuchten model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h) = \theta_r + \frac{\theta_s - \theta_r}{\left[ 1+(\alpha |h|)^n \right]^{1-1/n}}\,\,\,\,\Longrightarrow\,\,\,\,h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{r}}{\theta_{s}-\theta_{r}}\,\,\,\,(1.8)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the the water retention curve (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the residual water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h''|| is the suction head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is related to the inverse of the air entry (m &amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''n''|| is a measure of the pore-size distribution n&amp;gt;1 (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;''|| is the effective saturation (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saturated and Unsaturated Conductivity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The saturated conductivity is given depending on the type of soil; instead the unsaturated conductivity is obtained from the suction head by the Maulem model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)=K_{s}\cdot Se^{L}\cdot (1-(1-Se^{1/m})^{m})^{2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;    (1.9)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the unsaturated conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated conductivity(m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''L'' || empirical pore-connectivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''m''|| m=1-1/n(dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Evapotranspiration===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some water may be extracted from the soil because of the evaporation and transpiration processes, which become a sink in soil water profile. These two processes are currently named Evapotranspiration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential Evapotranspiration may be modeled using the Penmann Monteith equation. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, if vegetation exists, a differentiation between Potential Transpiration and Potential Evaporation is done using LAI.&lt;br /&gt;
These computation are made in [[Module Basin]] since this is the module that handles water fluxes in the interface betwen modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, not all of the potential water that can be evaporated or transpired will be in fact removed from the soil. The water that will really leave the soil through these processes is calculated: i) if vegetation exists, effective transpiration is computed in module Vegetation; ii) effective evaporation is computed in the Porous Media module.&lt;br /&gt;
In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are then used in Porous Media module to compute the new water content. &lt;br /&gt;
The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on: i) a pressure head limit or ii) a soil conductivity limit, chosen by the user. It allows the model not to evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil head gets below the assigned value (i) or limits evaporation velocity to layer unsaturated conductivity (ii).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:evapotranspiration fluxogram.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Evapotranspiration fluxogram in Mohid Land model]]&lt;br /&gt;
Remind that Feddes is one option for computing effective transpiration in plants in [[module Vegetation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iteration Process===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once obtained the water fluxes a balance on the water volume of each cell is apply in order to obtain the new water content &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The balance applied is the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction X'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{t+\Delta t}= \frac {(\theta^{t}\cdot V_{cell}+((FluxU_{(i,j,k)} - FluxU_{(i,j+1,k)})\cdot \Delta t)} { V_{cell}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction Y'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxV_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k)}-FluxV_{(i+1,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i+1,j,k)})\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Vertical Direction W'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxW_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k})-FluxW_{(i,j,k+1)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k+1}))\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transpiration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(TranspFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evaporation Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(EvapFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Infiltration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(UnsatK\cdot Area_{cell}\cdot(1-Imp) \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Area_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell area (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''ComputeFace'' || is the computed face (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Delta t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxX'' || is the flux in X direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxV'' || is the flux in Y direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxW'' || is the flux in W direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''TranspFlux'' || is the transpiration flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''EvapFlux'' || is the evaporation flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''UnsatK'' || is unsaturated conductivity (m /s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''Imp'' || is the percentage of impermeable soil of the cell (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so obtained is compared with one used in the volumes calculation and the iterative process stop when: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(\theta^{'})-(\theta^{new})&amp;lt; Tolerance&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  (1.10)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{'}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content of the previous iteration (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the equation (1.10) is not satisfy the temporal step is divided in half and the new value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is used for solving the equation (1.7) for restarting the calculation process. The iteration process is stoped when the tolerance desired is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure06.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 2: Time step reduction]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia there is the option to define the boundary condition in different components. It can be imposed an aquifer level at the soil lateral &amp;quot;walls&amp;quot; and/or free flux in the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level imposed in lateral walls is used to compute lateral flows using the same equation as for soil (Buckingham-Darcy).&lt;br /&gt;
In the outside (boundary) it is assumed that field capacity occurs above aquifer and no hidrostatic pressure in saturated area (the total head is the same in all column). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the bottom boundary condition is assumed &amp;quot;free-flow&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;null gradient&amp;quot; where water content is the same in both bottom and outside. It is assumed no hidrostatic pressure in the bottom what is reasonable since water is moving trough the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary fluxes are computed after the flow computation iteration. Boundary flows are computed in cells that are saturated and higher than boundary level or cells unsaturated lower than boundary level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lateral Boundary flux is computed with Buckingham-Darcy equation in all faces that are boundary using saturated conductivity (saturated front movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral boundary level can be imposed as a constant value everywhere or defined by piezometers where level data can be interpolated to boundary in space and time. In case of piezometers the user provides the location coordinates and the model interpolates (using triangulation or IWD) the level data (single value or timeserie) to the boundary cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom Boundary flux is computed using bottom conductivity derived from Buckingham-Darcy equation (Head gradient is one) and flux is:&lt;br /&gt;
 ConductivityBottom * Area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the lateral open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_VALUE     : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword that defines the lateral boundary level (constant everywhere) is:&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_VALUE            : 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral open boundary computation can be limited to specific areas defining the maximum altimetry that the boundary will be open. This is specifically useful when one wants to open the groundwater water at the end of the watershed where in fact the flux can go trough the boundaries delimitation.&lt;br /&gt;
 MAX_DTM_FOR_BOUNDARY      : 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a value of the latter keyword higher than the maximum altimetry found in the watershed will make the boundary open in all watershed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blocks that allows to define piezometers (if not defined, the value used is BOUNDARY_VALUE everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For triangulation is needed at least 3 piezometers as minimum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the bottom open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_BOTTOM    : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia the discharges may be positive or negative (PorousMedia uses discharge flow) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges. It was only programmed in PorousMedia the using of the defined discharge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To have a discharge in PorousMedia the user defines a discharge in any K_CELL positive and different from zero in the discharge definition (Discharges_X.dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase, the several discharges flows are accounted and water content updated. The computation is inside the water content iteration process.&lt;br /&gt;
And integration variable integrates this flow for PorousMediaProperties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For discharges to be read in Discharges_X.dat the following keyword needs to exist in the PorousMedia_X.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
Without these keyword no matter what is inside Discharges_X.dat it will not be read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to Generate Info needed in Porous Media===&lt;br /&gt;
====SoilMap====&lt;br /&gt;
Model needs to know soil ID in each cell and layer to pick hydraulic properties from that type of soil. In Pedology soil includes more than one horizon, each with different soil properties. Here Soil is used has a unit of soil hidraulic properties, i.e., to define a soil with three horizons one has to create three SoilID (see below). This also means that if a watershed has at least one soil with three horizons one has to create three soil maps. Each soil map will be infact the map of each horizon of the soils. The grid cells with only one horizon will have the same SoilID in all maps, the grid cells with three horizons will have a different SoilID in each map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant value&lt;br /&gt;
* Soil Grid. One possible option is to associate with soil shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the soil shape file and iii) the corespondence between soil codes and soil ID defined in data file. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil ID must be defined in [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards for each soil horizon defined (grid example):&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginhorizon&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Remarks'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the soil ID's appearing in the soil grid(s) must be defined in the PorousMedia data file in terms of hydraulic properties:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_S                   : 0.3859      !is the saturated water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7 (theta s)&lt;br /&gt;

 L_FIT                     : 0.50        !empirical pore-connectivity (m) - equation 1.8 (l)&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 2&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Soil Bottom====&lt;br /&gt;
The soil depth must be known by the model. This is computed by the model from terrain altitude (topography) and soil bottom altitude. As so, a soil bottom grid is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. &lt;br /&gt;
Soil depth (and soil bottom altitude, the effective grid needed) can be defined with a constant depth or estimated from slope [[HOW TO SoilBottom LINK]]. When the soil depth is estimated as a function of slope, soil depth will be smaller in ares with higher slope. In this areas only the surface layers of the soil will be considered (see [[Module_PorousMedia#Porous_Media_Geometry|Porous Media Geometry]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define the grid just generated, in the porous media data file with: &lt;br /&gt;
 BOTTOM_FILE  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\BottomLevel.dat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Level====&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
*Grid File.&lt;br /&gt;
The water table altitude represents the initial altitude of the water table. &lt;br /&gt;
It is recommended to do a spin-up run to estabilize water level and then do a continuous simulation starting with the final water table achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : waterlevel&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\WaterLevel0.50.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Impermeability====&lt;br /&gt;
Impermeability values (0 - completely permeable, 1 - impermeable) must be provided. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant Value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. One possible option is to associate with land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Impermeability values.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginimpermeablefraction&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : impermeablefraction&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Porous Media is responsible for handling all water fluxes in soil, including water transport due to the balance between pressure (gravity and suction) and resistance trough the medium, infiltration, evapotranspiration and link with the river (groundwater flow).&lt;br /&gt;
Soil fluxes are calculated by the Buckingham-Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991) and the connections with surface runoff and river are done using the same formulation where the surface water Head is the water level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Porous Media Geometry===&lt;br /&gt;
Porous Media is a 3D domain delimited in its upper limit by topography and lower limit by soil bottom (defined by user).&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of soil definition it can be defined vertical horizons to correspond to real soil horizons with different hydraulic carachteristics.&lt;br /&gt;
See the picture below for information.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Flow===&lt;br /&gt;
Soil contains a large distribution of pore sizes and channels through which water may flow. In general, the water flow determination is based on the mass conservation and momentum equation [[Equations]]. In the case of soil it is assumed that acceleration is close to zero since velocities are very low; therefore the balance is reduced to the forces of pressure, gravity and viscous. The equation that describes the flow through soil is the Buckingham Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v=-K\left ( \theta  \right )\left ( \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_i}  \right )\,\,\,\,(1.1) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''v'' || is the water velocity at the cell interface (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''H'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''θ'' || is the water content (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''K''|| is the hydraulic conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''x_i''|| is direction i&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hydraulic head is given by the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H=h+p+z\,\,\,\,(1.2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''p'' || is hydrostatic pressure (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''z''|| is the topography  (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in saturated conditions, hydraulic head is zero and hydrostatic pressure may occur (if water is at rest or decelerating). In unsaturated conditions, hydrostatic pressure is zero and hydraulic head exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soil is a very complex system, made up of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, liquid, and gaseous material. The liquid phase consists of soil water, which fills part or all of the open spaces between the soil particles. Therefore it is possible to divide the soil into two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Saturated soil  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unsaturated one &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water and air&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, the equation of Buckingham Darcy is simplified to the Darcy law and the parameter associated with its resolution are connected with the saturated layer. On the other hand for the resolution of the equation (1.1) a description of the characteristics of the unsaturated layer is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vadose Zone===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many vadose flow and transport studies require description of unsaturated soil hydraulic proprieties over a wide range of pressure heads. The hydraulic proprieties are described using the porous size distribution model of Maulem (1976) for hydraulic conductivity in combination with a water retention function introduced by Van Genuchten (1980). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water content====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water content is the quantity of water contained in the soil (called '''soil moisture'''). It is given as a volumetric basis and it is defined mathematically as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta = \frac{V_w}{V_T}\,\,\,\,(1.3) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T = V_s + V_v = V_s + V_w + V_a\,\,\,\,(1.4)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_w&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; '' || is the volume of water (m s&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the total volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the soil volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the air space (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial Condition===&lt;br /&gt;
The user may define a water content initialization or choose the model to compute in the unsaturated area heads so that soil water is at [[Field Capacity]].&lt;br /&gt;
The below explains the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once determined the aquifer level ('''water table''') the water content is associated at each cells by the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located above the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located over the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the saturated soil  (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the non saturated soil   (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to calculate field capacity by the equation (1.7) the evaluation of the suction head is needed :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h=-DWZ\cdot 0.5\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, cells\,\, immediately\,\, above\,\, the\,\, water\,\, table \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (1.5)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h=-(-DZZ-h)\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, other\,\, cells\,\,\,\, (1.6) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure05.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 1: Suction Head Calculation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As shown in the picture the suction head is calculated in order to maintain the same total head (H = z + p + h) in the cells in agreement with the field capacity definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water retention===&lt;br /&gt;
The model use for characterizing the shape of water retention curves is the van Genuchten model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h) = \theta_r + \frac{\theta_s - \theta_r}{\left[ 1+(\alpha |h|)^n \right]^{1-1/n}}\,\,\,\,\Longrightarrow\,\,\,\,h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{r}}{\theta_{s}-\theta_{r}}\,\,\,\,(1.8)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the the water retention curve (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the residual water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h''|| is the suction head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is related to the inverse of the air entry (m &amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''n''|| is a measure of the pore-size distribution n&amp;gt;1 (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;''|| is the effective saturation (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saturated and Unsaturated Conductivity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The saturated conductivity is given depending on the type of soil; instead the unsaturated conductivity is obtained from the suction head by the Maulem model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)=K_{s}\cdot Se^{L}\cdot (1-(1-Se^{1/m})^{m})^{2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;    (1.9)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the unsaturated conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated conductivity(m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''L'' || empirical pore-connectivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''m''|| m=1-1/n(dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Evapotranspiration===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some water may be extracted from the soil because of the evaporation and transpiration processes, which become a sink in soil water profile. These two processes are currently named Evapotranspiration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential Evapotranspiration may be modeled using the Penmann Monteith equation. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, if vegetation exists, a differentiation between Potential Transpiration and Potential Evaporation is done using LAI.&lt;br /&gt;
These computation are made in [[Module Basin]] since this is the module that handles water fluxes in the interface betwen modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, not all of the potential water that can be evaporated or transpired will be in fact removed from the soil. The water that will really leave the soil through these processes is calculated: i) if vegetation exists, effective transpiration is computed in module Vegetation; ii) effective evaporation is computed in the Porous Media module.&lt;br /&gt;
In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are then used in Porous Media module to compute the new water content. &lt;br /&gt;
The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on: i) a pressure head limit or ii) a soil conductivity limit, chosen by the user. It allows the model not to evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil head gets below the assigned value (i) or limits evaporation velocity to layer unsaturated conductivity (ii).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:evapotranspiration fluxogram.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Evapotranspiration fluxogram in Mohid Land model]]&lt;br /&gt;
Remind that Feddes is one option for computing effective transpiration in plants in [[module Vegetation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iteration Process===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once obtained the water fluxes a balance on the water volume of each cell is apply in order to obtain the new water content &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The balance applied is the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction X'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{t+\Delta t}= \frac {(\theta^{t}\cdot V_{cell}+((FluxU_{(i,j,k)} - FluxU_{(i,j+1,k)})\cdot \Delta t)} { V_{cell}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction Y'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxV_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k)}-FluxV_{(i+1,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i+1,j,k)})\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Vertical Direction W'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxW_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k})-FluxW_{(i,j,k+1)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k+1}))\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transpiration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(TranspFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evaporation Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(EvapFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Infiltration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(UnsatK\cdot Area_{cell}\cdot(1-Imp) \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Area_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell area (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''ComputeFace'' || is the computed face (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Delta t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxX'' || is the flux in X direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxV'' || is the flux in Y direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxW'' || is the flux in W direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''TranspFlux'' || is the transpiration flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''EvapFlux'' || is the evaporation flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''UnsatK'' || is unsaturated conductivity (m /s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''Imp'' || is the percentage of impermeable soil of the cell (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so obtained is compared with one used in the volumes calculation and the iterative process stop when: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(\theta^{'})-(\theta^{new})&amp;lt;\,\, Tolerance&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  (1.10)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{'}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content of the previous iteration (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the equation (1.10) is not satisfy the temporal step is divided in half and the new value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is used for solving the equation (1.7) for restarting the calculation process. The iteration process is stoped when the tolerance desired is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure06.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 2: Time step reduction]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia there is the option to define the boundary condition in different components. It can be imposed an aquifer level at the soil lateral &amp;quot;walls&amp;quot; and/or free flux in the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level imposed in lateral walls is used to compute lateral flows using the same equation as for soil (Buckingham-Darcy).&lt;br /&gt;
In the outside (boundary) it is assumed that field capacity occurs above aquifer and no hidrostatic pressure in saturated area (the total head is the same in all column). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the bottom boundary condition is assumed &amp;quot;free-flow&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;null gradient&amp;quot; where water content is the same in both bottom and outside. It is assumed no hidrostatic pressure in the bottom what is reasonable since water is moving trough the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary fluxes are computed after the flow computation iteration. Boundary flows are computed in cells that are saturated and higher than boundary level or cells unsaturated lower than boundary level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lateral Boundary flux is computed with Buckingham-Darcy equation in all faces that are boundary using saturated conductivity (saturated front movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral boundary level can be imposed as a constant value everywhere or defined by piezometers where level data can be interpolated to boundary in space and time. In case of piezometers the user provides the location coordinates and the model interpolates (using triangulation or IWD) the level data (single value or timeserie) to the boundary cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom Boundary flux is computed using bottom conductivity derived from Buckingham-Darcy equation (Head gradient is one) and flux is:&lt;br /&gt;
 ConductivityBottom * Area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the lateral open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_VALUE     : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword that defines the lateral boundary level (constant everywhere) is:&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_VALUE            : 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral open boundary computation can be limited to specific areas defining the maximum altimetry that the boundary will be open. This is specifically useful when one wants to open the groundwater water at the end of the watershed where in fact the flux can go trough the boundaries delimitation.&lt;br /&gt;
 MAX_DTM_FOR_BOUNDARY      : 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a value of the latter keyword higher than the maximum altimetry found in the watershed will make the boundary open in all watershed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;end_boundary&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For triangulation is needed at least 3 piezometers as minimum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the bottom open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_BOTTOM    : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia the discharges may be positive or negative (PorousMedia uses discharge flow) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges. It was only programmed in PorousMedia the using of the defined discharge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To have a discharge in PorousMedia the user defines a discharge in any K_CELL positive and different from zero in the discharge definition (Discharges_X.dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase, the several discharges flows are accounted and water content updated. The computation is inside the water content iteration process.&lt;br /&gt;
And integration variable integrates this flow for PorousMediaProperties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For discharges to be read in Discharges_X.dat the following keyword needs to exist in the PorousMedia_X.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
Without these keyword no matter what is inside Discharges_X.dat it will not be read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to Generate Info needed in Porous Media===&lt;br /&gt;
====SoilMap====&lt;br /&gt;
Model needs to know soil ID in each cell and layer to pick hydraulic properties from that type of soil. In Pedology soil includes more than one horizon, each with different soil properties. Here Soil is used has a unit of soil hidraulic properties, i.e., to define a soil with three horizons one has to create three SoilID (see below). This also means that if a watershed has at least one soil with three horizons one has to create three soil maps. Each soil map will be infact the map of each horizon of the soils. The grid cells with only one horizon will have the same SoilID in all maps, the grid cells with three horizons will have a different SoilID in each map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant value&lt;br /&gt;
* Soil Grid. One possible option is to associate with soil shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the soil shape file and iii) the corespondence between soil codes and soil ID defined in data file. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil ID must be defined in [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards for each soil horizon defined (grid example):&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginhorizon&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Remarks'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the soil ID's appearing in the soil grid(s) must be defined in the PorousMedia data file in terms of hydraulic properties:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_S                   : 0.3859      !is the saturated water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7 (theta s)&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_R                   : 0.0476      !is the residual water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7  (theta r)&lt;br /&gt;

 L_FIT                     : 0.50        !empirical pore-connectivity (m) - equation 1.8 (l)&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 2&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Soil Bottom====&lt;br /&gt;
The soil depth must be known by the model. This is computed by the model from terrain altitude (topography) and soil bottom altitude. As so, a soil bottom grid is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. &lt;br /&gt;
Soil depth (and soil bottom altitude, the effective grid needed) can be defined with a constant depth or estimated from slope [[HOW TO SoilBottom LINK]]. When the soil depth is estimated as a function of slope, soil depth will be smaller in ares with higher slope. In this areas only the surface layers of the soil will be considered (see [[Module_PorousMedia#Porous_Media_Geometry|Porous Media Geometry]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define the grid just generated, in the porous media data file with: &lt;br /&gt;
 BOTTOM_FILE  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\BottomLevel.dat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Level====&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
*Grid File.&lt;br /&gt;
The water table altitude represents the initial altitude of the water table. &lt;br /&gt;
It is recommended to do a spin-up run to estabilize water level and then do a continuous simulation starting with the final water table achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : waterlevel&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\WaterLevel0.50.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Impermeability====&lt;br /&gt;
Impermeability values (0 - completely permeable, 1 - impermeable) must be provided. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant Value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. One possible option is to associate with land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Impermeability values.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginimpermeablefraction&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : impermeablefraction&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Porous Media is responsible for handling all water fluxes in soil, including water transport due to the balance between pressure (gravity and suction) and resistance trough the medium, infiltration, evapotranspiration and link with the river (groundwater flow).&lt;br /&gt;
Soil fluxes are calculated by the Buckingham-Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991) and the connections with surface runoff and river are done using the same formulation where the surface water Head is the water level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Porous Media Geometry===&lt;br /&gt;
Porous Media is a 3D domain delimited in its upper limit by topography and lower limit by soil bottom (defined by user).&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of soil definition it can be defined vertical horizons to correspond to real soil horizons with different hydraulic carachteristics.&lt;br /&gt;

===Water Flow===&lt;br /&gt;
Soil contains a large distribution of pore sizes and channels through which water may flow. In general, the water flow determination is based on the mass conservation and momentum equation [[Equations]]. In the case of soil it is assumed that acceleration is close to zero since velocities are very low; therefore the balance is reduced to the forces of pressure, gravity and viscous. The equation that describes the flow through soil is the Buckingham Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v=-K\left ( \theta  \right )\left ( \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_i}  \right )\,\,\,\,(1.1) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''v'' || is the water velocity at the cell interface (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''H'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''θ'' || is the water content (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''K''|| is the hydraulic conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''x_i''|| is direction i&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hydraulic head is given by the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H=h+p+z\,\,\,\,(1.2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''p'' || is hydrostatic pressure (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''z''|| is the topography  (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in saturated conditions, hydraulic head is zero and hydrostatic pressure may occur (if water is at rest or decelerating). In unsaturated conditions, hydrostatic pressure is zero and hydraulic head exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soil is a very complex system, made up of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, liquid, and gaseous material. The liquid phase consists of soil water, which fills part or all of the open spaces between the soil particles. Therefore it is possible to divide the soil into two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Saturated soil  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unsaturated one &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water and air&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, the equation of Buckingham Darcy is simplified to the Darcy law and the parameter associated with its resolution are connected with the saturated layer. On the other hand for the resolution of the equation (1.1) a description of the characteristics of the unsaturated layer is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vadose Zone===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many vadose flow and transport studies require description of unsaturated soil hydraulic proprieties over a wide range of pressure heads. The hydraulic proprieties are described using the porous size distribution model of Maulem (1976) for hydraulic conductivity in combination with a water retention function introduced by Van Genuchten (1980). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water content====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water content is the quantity of water contained in the soil (called '''soil moisture'''). It is given as a volumetric basis and it is defined mathematically as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta = \frac{V_w}{V_T}\,\,\,\,(1.3) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T = V_s + V_v = V_s + V_w + V_a\,\,\,\,(1.4)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_w&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; '' || is the volume of water (m s&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the total volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the soil volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the air space (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial Condition===&lt;br /&gt;
The user may define a water content initialization or choose the model to compute in the unsaturated area heads so that soil water is at [[Field Capacity]].&lt;br /&gt;
The below explains the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once determined the aquifer level ('''water table''') the water content is associated at each cells by the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located above the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located over the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the saturated soil  (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the non saturated soil   (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to calculate field capacity by the equation (1.7) the evaluation of the suction head is needed :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h=-DWZ\cdot 0.5\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, cells\,\, immediately\,\, above\,\, the\,\, water\,\, table \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (1.5)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h=-(-DZZ-h)\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, other\,\, cells\,\,\,\, (1.6) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure05.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 1: Suction Head Calculation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As shown in the picture the suction head is calculated in order to maintain the same total head (H = z + p + h) in the cells in agreement with the field capacity definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water retention===&lt;br /&gt;
The model use for characterizing the shape of water retention curves is the van Genuchten model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h) = \theta_r + \frac{\theta_s - \theta_r}{\left[ 1+(\alpha |h|)^n \right]^{1-1/n}}\,\,\,\,\Longrightarrow\,\,\,\,h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{r}}{\theta_{s}-\theta_{r}}\,\,\,\,(1.8)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the the water retention curve (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the residual water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h''|| is the suction head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is related to the inverse of the air entry (m &amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''n''|| is a measure of the pore-size distribution n&amp;gt;1 (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;''|| is the effective saturation (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saturated and Unsaturated Conductivity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The saturated conductivity is given depending on the type of soil; instead the unsaturated conductivity is obtained from the suction head by the Maulem model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)=K_{s}\cdot Se^{L}\cdot (1-(1-Se^{1/m})^{m})^{2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;    (1.9)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the unsaturated conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated conductivity(m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''L'' || empirical pore-connectivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''m''|| m=1-1/n(dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Evapotranspiration===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some water may be extracted from the soil because of the evaporation and transpiration processes, which become a sink in soil water profile. These two processes are currently named Evapotranspiration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential Evapotranspiration may be modeled using the Penmann Monteith equation. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, if vegetation exists, a differentiation between Potential Transpiration and Potential Evaporation is done using LAI.&lt;br /&gt;
These computation are made in [[Module Basin]] since this is the module that handles water fluxes in the interface betwen modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, not all of the potential water that can be evaporated or transpired will be in fact removed from the soil. The water that will really leave the soil through these processes is calculated: i) if vegetation exists, effective transpiration is computed in module Vegetation; ii) effective evaporation is computed in the Porous Media module.&lt;br /&gt;
In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are then used in Porous Media module to compute the new water content. &lt;br /&gt;
The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on: i) a pressure head limit or ii) a soil conductivity limit, chosen by the user. It allows the model not to evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil head gets below the assigned value (i) or limits evaporation velocity to layer unsaturated conductivity (ii).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:evapotranspiration fluxogram.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Evapotranspiration fluxogram in Mohid Land model]]&lt;br /&gt;
Remind that Feddes is one option for computing effective transpiration in plants in [[module Vegetation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iteration Process===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once obtained the water fluxes a balance on the water volume of each cell is apply in order to obtain the new water content &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The balance applied is the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction X'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{t+\Delta t}= \frac {(\theta^{t}\cdot V_{cell}+((FluxU_{(i,j,k)} - FluxU_{(i,j+1,k)})\cdot \Delta t)} { V_{cell}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction Y'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxV_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k)}-FluxV_{(i+1,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i+1,j,k)})\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Vertical Direction W'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxW_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k})-FluxW_{(i,j,k+1)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k+1}))\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transpiration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(TranspFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evaporation Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(EvapFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Infiltration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(UnsatK\cdot Area_{cell}\cdot(1-Imp) \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Area_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell area (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''ComputeFace'' || is the computed face (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Delta t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxX'' || is the flux in X direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxV'' || is the flux in Y direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxW'' || is the flux in W direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''TranspFlux'' || is the transpiration flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''EvapFlux'' || is the evaporation flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''UnsatK'' || is unsaturated conductivity (m /s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''Imp'' || is the percentage of impermeable soil of the cell (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so obtained is compared with one used in the volumes calculation and the iterative process stop when: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(\theta^{'})-(\theta^{new})&amp;lt;\,\, Tolerance\,\,\,\, (1.10) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{'}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content of the previous iteration (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the equation (1.9) is not satisfy the temporal step is divided in half and the new value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is used for solving the equation (1.7) for restarting the calculation process. The iteration process is stoped when the tolerance desired is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure06.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 2: Time step reduction]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia there is the option to define the boundary condition in different components. It can be imposed an aquifer level at the soil lateral &amp;quot;walls&amp;quot; and/or free flux in the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level imposed in lateral walls is used to compute lateral flows using the same equation as for soil (Buckingham-Darcy).&lt;br /&gt;
In the outside (boundary) it is assumed that field capacity occurs above aquifer and no hidrostatic pressure in saturated area (the total head is the same in all column). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the bottom boundary condition is assumed &amp;quot;free-flow&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;null gradient&amp;quot; where water content is the same in both bottom and outside. It is assumed no hidrostatic pressure in the bottom what is reasonable since water is moving trough the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary fluxes are computed after the flow computation iteration. Boundary flows are computed in cells that are saturated and higher than boundary level or cells unsaturated lower than boundary level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lateral Boundary flux is computed with Buckingham-Darcy equation in all faces that are boundary using saturated conductivity (saturated front movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral boundary level can be imposed as a constant value everywhere or defined by piezometers where level data can be interpolated to boundary in space and time. In case of piezometers the user provides the location coordinates and the model interpolates (using triangulation or IWD) the level data (single value or timeserie) to the boundary cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom Boundary flux is computed using bottom conductivity derived from Buckingham-Darcy equation (Head gradient is one) and flux is:&lt;br /&gt;
 ConductivityBottom * Area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the lateral open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_VALUE     : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword that defines the lateral boundary level (constant everywhere) is:&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_VALUE            : 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral open boundary computation can be limited to specific areas defining the maximum altimetry that the boundary will be open. This is specifically useful when one wants to open the groundwater water at the end of the watershed where in fact the flux can go trough the boundaries delimitation.&lt;br /&gt;
 MAX_DTM_FOR_BOUNDARY      : 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a value of the latter keyword higher than the maximum altimetry found in the watershed will make the boundary open in all watershed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blocks that allows to define piezometers (if not defined, the value used is BOUNDARY_VALUE everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;end_boundary&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For triangulation is needed at least 3 piezometers as minimum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the bottom open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_BOTTOM    : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia the discharges may be positive or negative (PorousMedia uses discharge flow) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges. It was only programmed in PorousMedia the using of the defined discharge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To have a discharge in PorousMedia the user defines a discharge in any K_CELL positive and different from zero in the discharge definition (Discharges_X.dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase, the several discharges flows are accounted and water content updated. The computation is inside the water content iteration process.&lt;br /&gt;
And integration variable integrates this flow for PorousMediaProperties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For discharges to be read in Discharges_X.dat the following keyword needs to exist in the PorousMedia_X.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
Without these keyword no matter what is inside Discharges_X.dat it will not be read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to Generate Info needed in Porous Media===&lt;br /&gt;
====SoilMap====&lt;br /&gt;
Model needs to know soil ID in each cell and layer to pick hydraulic properties from that type of soil. In Pedology soil includes more than one horizon, each with different soil properties. Here Soil is used has a unit of soil hidraulic properties, i.e., to define a soil with three horizons one has to create three SoilID (see below). This also means that if a watershed has at least one soil with three horizons one has to create three soil maps. Each soil map will be infact the map of each horizon of the soils. The grid cells with only one horizon will have the same SoilID in all maps, the grid cells with three horizons will have a different SoilID in each map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant value&lt;br /&gt;
* Soil Grid. One possible option is to associate with soil shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the soil shape file and iii) the corespondence between soil codes and soil ID defined in data file. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil ID must be defined in [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards for each soil horizon defined (grid example):&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginhorizon&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Remarks'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the soil ID's appearing in the soil grid(s) must be defined in the PorousMedia data file in terms of hydraulic properties:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_S                   : 0.3859      !is the saturated water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7 (theta s)&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_R                   : 0.0476      !is the residual water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7  (theta r)&lt;br /&gt;

 L_FIT                     : 0.50        !empirical pore-connectivity (m) - equation 1.8 (l)&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 2&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Soil Bottom====&lt;br /&gt;
The soil depth must be known by the model. This is computed by the model from terrain altitude (topography) and soil bottom altitude. As so, a soil bottom grid is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. &lt;br /&gt;
Soil depth (and soil bottom altitude, the effective grid needed) can be defined with a constant depth or estimated from slope [[HOW TO SoilBottom LINK]]. When the soil depth is estimated as a function of slope, soil depth will be smaller in ares with higher slope. In this areas only the surface layers of the soil will be considered (see [[Module_PorousMedia#Porous_Media_Geometry|Porous Media Geometry]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define the grid just generated, in the porous media data file with: &lt;br /&gt;
 BOTTOM_FILE  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\BottomLevel.dat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Level====&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
*Grid File.&lt;br /&gt;
The water table altitude represents the initial altitude of the water table. &lt;br /&gt;
It is recommended to do a spin-up run to estabilize water level and then do a continuous simulation starting with the final water table achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : waterlevel&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\WaterLevel0.50.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Impermeability====&lt;br /&gt;
Impermeability values (0 - completely permeable, 1 - impermeable) must be provided. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant Value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. One possible option is to associate with land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Impermeability values.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginimpermeablefraction&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : impermeablefraction&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Porous Media is responsible for handling all water fluxes in soil, including water transport due to the balance between pressure (gravity and suction) and resistance trough the medium, infiltration, evapotranspiration and link with the river (groundwater flow).&lt;br /&gt;
Soil fluxes are calculated by the Buckingham-Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991) and the connections with surface runoff and river are done using the same formulation where the surface water Head is the water level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Porous Media Geometry===&lt;br /&gt;
Porous Media is a 3D domain delimited in its upper limit by topography and lower limit by soil bottom (defined by user).&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of soil definition it can be defined vertical horizons to correspond to real soil horizons with different hydraulic carachteristics.&lt;br /&gt;
See the picture below for information.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Flow===&lt;br /&gt;
Soil contains a large distribution of pore sizes and channels through which water may flow. In general, the water flow determination is based on the mass conservation and momentum equation [[Equations]]. In the case of soil it is assumed that acceleration is close to zero since velocities are very low; therefore the balance is reduced to the forces of pressure, gravity and viscous. The equation that describes the flow through soil is the Buckingham Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v=-K\left ( \theta  \right )\left ( \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_i}  \right )\,\,\,\,(1.1) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''v'' || is the water velocity at the cell interface (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''H'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''θ'' || is the water content (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''K''|| is the hydraulic conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''x_i''|| is direction i&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hydraulic head is given by the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H=h+p+z\,\,\,\,(1.2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''p'' || is hydrostatic pressure (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''z''|| is the topography  (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in saturated conditions, hydraulic head is zero and hydrostatic pressure may occur (if water is at rest or decelerating). In unsaturated conditions, hydrostatic pressure is zero and hydraulic head exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soil is a very complex system, made up of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, liquid, and gaseous material. The liquid phase consists of soil water, which fills part or all of the open spaces between the soil particles. Therefore it is possible to divide the soil into two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Saturated soil  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unsaturated one &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water and air&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, the equation of Buckingham Darcy is simplified to the Darcy law and the parameter associated with its resolution are connected with the saturated layer. On the other hand for the resolution of the equation (1.1) a description of the characteristics of the unsaturated layer is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vadose Zone===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many vadose flow and transport studies require description of unsaturated soil hydraulic proprieties over a wide range of pressure heads. The hydraulic proprieties are described using the porous size distribution model of Maulem (1976) for hydraulic conductivity in combination with a water retention function introduced by Van Genuchten (1980). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water content====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water content is the quantity of water contained in the soil (called '''soil moisture'''). It is given as a volumetric basis and it is defined mathematically as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta = \frac{V_w}{V_T}\,\,\,\,(1.3) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T = V_s + V_v = V_s + V_w + V_a\,\,\,\,(1.4)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_w&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; '' || is the volume of water (m s&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the total volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the soil volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the air space (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial Condition===&lt;br /&gt;
The user may define a water content initialization or choose the model to compute in the unsaturated area heads so that soil water is at [[Field Capacity]].&lt;br /&gt;
The below explains the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once determined the aquifer level ('''water table''') the water content is associated at each cells by the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located above the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located over the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the saturated soil  (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the non saturated soil   (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to calculate field capacity by the equation (1.7) the evaluation of the suction head is needed :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h=-DWZ\cdot 0.5\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, cells\,\, immediately\,\, above\,\, the\,\, water\,\, table \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (1.5)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h=-(-DZZ-h)\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, other\,\, cells\,\,\,\, (1.6) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure05.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 1: Suction Head Calculation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As shown in the picture the suction head is calculated in order to maintain the same total head (H = z + p + h) in the cells in agreement with the field capacity definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water retention===&lt;br /&gt;
The model use for characterizing the shape of water retention curves is the van Genuchten model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h) = \theta_r + \frac{\theta_s - \theta_r}{\left[ 1+(\alpha |h|)^n \right]^{1-1/n}}\,\,\,\,\Longrightarrow\,\,\,\,h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{r}}{\theta_{s}-\theta_{r}}\,\,\,\,(1.8)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the the water retention curve (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the residual water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h''|| is the suction head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is related to the inverse of the air entry (m &amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''n''|| is a measure of the pore-size distribution n&amp;gt;1 (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;''|| is the effective saturation (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saturated and Unsaturated Conductivity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The saturated conductivity is given depending on the type of soil; instead the unsaturated conductivity is obtained from the suction head by the Maulem model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)=K_{s}\cdot Se^{L}\cdot (1-(1-Se^{1/m})^{m})^{2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the unsaturated conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated conductivity(m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''L'' || empirical pore-connectivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''m''|| m=1-1/n(dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Evapotranspiration===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some water may be extracted from the soil because of the evaporation and transpiration processes, which become a sink in soil water profile. These two processes are currently named Evapotranspiration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential Evapotranspiration may be modeled using the Penmann Monteith equation. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, if vegetation exists, a differentiation between Potential Transpiration and Potential Evaporation is done using LAI.&lt;br /&gt;
These computation are made in [[Module Basin]] since this is the module that handles water fluxes in the interface betwen modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, not all of the potential water that can be evaporated or transpired will be in fact removed from the soil. The water that will really leave the soil through these processes is calculated: i) if vegetation exists, effective transpiration is computed in module Vegetation; ii) effective evaporation is computed in the Porous Media module.&lt;br /&gt;
In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are then used in Porous Media module to compute the new water content. &lt;br /&gt;
The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on: i) a pressure head limit or ii) a soil conductivity limit, chosen by the user. It allows the model not to evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil head gets below the assigned value (i) or limits evaporation velocity to layer unsaturated conductivity (ii).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:evapotranspiration fluxogram.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Evapotranspiration fluxogram in Mohid Land model]]&lt;br /&gt;
Remind that Feddes is one option for computing effective transpiration in plants in [[module Vegetation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iteration Process===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once obtained the water fluxes a balance on the water volume of each cell is apply in order to obtain the new water content &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The balance applied is the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction X'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{t+\Delta t}= \frac {(\theta^{t}\cdot V_{cell}+((FluxU_{(i,j,k)} - FluxU_{(i,j+1,k)})\cdot \Delta t)} { V_{cell}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction Y'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxV_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k)}-FluxV_{(i+1,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i+1,j,k)})\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Vertical Direction W'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxW_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k})-FluxW_{(i,j,k+1)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k+1}))\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transpiration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(TranspFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evaporation Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(EvapFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Infiltration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(UnsatK\cdot Area_{cell}\cdot(1-Imp) \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Area_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell area (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''ComputeFace'' || is the computed face (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Delta t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxX'' || is the flux in X direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxV'' || is the flux in Y direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxW'' || is the flux in W direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''TranspFlux'' || is the transpiration flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''EvapFlux'' || is the evaporation flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''UnsatK'' || is unsaturated conductivity (m /s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''Imp'' || is the percentage of impermeable soil of the cell (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so obtained is compared with one used in the volumes calculation and the iterative process stop when: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(\theta^{'})-(\theta^{new})&amp;lt;\,\, Tolerance\,\,\,\, (1.10) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{'}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content of the previous iteration (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the equation (1.9) is not satisfy the temporal step is divided in half and the new value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is used for solving the equation (1.7) for restarting the calculation process. The iteration process is stoped when the tolerance desired is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure06.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 2: Time step reduction]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia there is the option to define the boundary condition in different components. It can be imposed an aquifer level at the soil lateral &amp;quot;walls&amp;quot; and/or free flux in the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level imposed in lateral walls is used to compute lateral flows using the same equation as for soil (Buckingham-Darcy).&lt;br /&gt;
In the outside (boundary) it is assumed that field capacity occurs above aquifer and no hidrostatic pressure in saturated area (the total head is the same in all column). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the bottom boundary condition is assumed &amp;quot;free-flow&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;null gradient&amp;quot; where water content is the same in both bottom and outside. It is assumed no hidrostatic pressure in the bottom what is reasonable since water is moving trough the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary fluxes are computed after the flow computation iteration. Boundary flows are computed in cells that are saturated and higher than boundary level or cells unsaturated lower than boundary level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lateral Boundary flux is computed with Buckingham-Darcy equation in all faces that are boundary using saturated conductivity (saturated front movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral boundary level can be imposed as a constant value everywhere or defined by piezometers where level data can be interpolated to boundary in space and time. In case of piezometers the user provides the location coordinates and the model interpolates (using triangulation or IWD) the level data (single value or timeserie) to the boundary cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom Boundary flux is computed using bottom conductivity derived from Buckingham-Darcy equation (Head gradient is one) and flux is:&lt;br /&gt;
 ConductivityBottom * Area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the lateral open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_VALUE     : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword that defines the lateral boundary level (constant everywhere) is:&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_VALUE            : 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral open boundary computation can be limited to specific areas defining the maximum altimetry that the boundary will be open. This is specifically useful when one wants to open the groundwater water at the end of the watershed where in fact the flux can go trough the boundaries delimitation.&lt;br /&gt;
 MAX_DTM_FOR_BOUNDARY      : 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a value of the latter keyword higher than the maximum altimetry found in the watershed will make the boundary open in all watershed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blocks that allows to define piezometers (if not defined, the value used is BOUNDARY_VALUE everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia the discharges may be positive or negative (PorousMedia uses discharge flow) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges. It was only programmed in PorousMedia the using of the defined discharge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To have a discharge in PorousMedia the user defines a discharge in any K_CELL positive and different from zero in the discharge definition (Discharges_X.dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase, the several discharges flows are accounted and water content updated. The computation is inside the water content iteration process.&lt;br /&gt;
And integration variable integrates this flow for PorousMediaProperties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For discharges to be read in Discharges_X.dat the following keyword needs to exist in the PorousMedia_X.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
Without these keyword no matter what is inside Discharges_X.dat it will not be read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===How to Generate Info needed in Porous Media===&lt;br /&gt;
====SoilMap====&lt;br /&gt;
Model needs to know soil ID in each cell and layer to pick hydraulic properties from that type of soil. In Pedology soil includes more than one horizon, each with different soil properties. Here Soil is used has a unit of soil hidraulic properties, i.e., to define a soil with three horizons one has to create three SoilID (see below). This also means that if a watershed has at least one soil with three horizons one has to create three soil maps. Each soil map will be infact the map of each horizon of the soils. The grid cells with only one horizon will have the same SoilID in all maps, the grid cells with three horizons will have a different SoilID in each map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant value&lt;br /&gt;
* Soil Grid. One possible option is to associate with soil shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the soil shape file and iii) the corespondence between soil codes and soil ID defined in data file. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil ID must be defined in [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards for each soil horizon defined (grid example):&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginhorizon&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 ..&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endhorizon&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Remarks'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the soil ID's appearing in the soil grid(s) must be defined in the PorousMedia data file in terms of hydraulic properties:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_S                   : 0.3859      !is the saturated water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7 (theta s)&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_R                   : 0.0476      !is the residual water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7  (theta r)&lt;br /&gt;

 L_FIT                     : 0.50        !empirical pore-connectivity (m) - equation 1.8 (l)&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 2&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Soil Bottom====&lt;br /&gt;
The soil depth must be known by the model. This is computed by the model from terrain altitude (topography) and soil bottom altitude. As so, a soil bottom grid is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. &lt;br /&gt;
Soil depth (and soil bottom altitude, the effective grid needed) can be defined with a constant depth or estimated from slope [[HOW TO SoilBottom LINK]]. When the soil depth is estimated as a function of slope, soil depth will be smaller in ares with higher slope. In this areas only the surface layers of the soil will be considered (see [[Module_PorousMedia#Porous_Media_Geometry|Porous Media Geometry]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define the grid just generated, in the porous media data file with: &lt;br /&gt;
 BOTTOM_FILE  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\BottomLevel.dat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Level====&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
*Grid File.&lt;br /&gt;
The water table altitude represents the initial altitude of the water table. &lt;br /&gt;
It is recommended to do a spin-up run to estabilize water level and then do a continuous simulation starting with the final water table achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : waterlevel&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\WaterLevel0.50.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Impermeability====&lt;br /&gt;
Impermeability values (0 - completely permeable, 1 - impermeable) must be provided. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant Value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. One possible option is to associate with land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Impermeability values.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginimpermeablefraction&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : impermeablefraction&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Porous Media is responsible for handling all water fluxes in soil, including water transport due to the balance between pressure (gravity and suction) and resistance trough the medium, infiltration, evapotranspiration and link with the river (groundwater flow).&lt;br /&gt;
Soil fluxes are calculated by the Buckingham-Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991) and the connections with surface runoff and river are done using the same formulation where the surface water Head is the water level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Porous Media Geometry===&lt;br /&gt;
Porous Media is a 3D domain delimited in its upper limit by topography and lower limit by soil bottom (defined by user).&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of soil definition it can be defined vertical horizons to correspond to real soil horizons with different hydraulic carachteristics.&lt;br /&gt;
See the picture below for information.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Flow===&lt;br /&gt;
Soil contains a large distribution of pore sizes and channels through which water may flow. In general, the water flow determination is based on the mass conservation and momentum equation [[Equations]]. In the case of soil it is assumed that acceleration is close to zero since velocities are very low; therefore the balance is reduced to the forces of pressure, gravity and viscous. The equation that describes the flow through soil is the Buckingham Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v=-K\left ( \theta  \right )\left ( \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_i}  \right )\,\,\,\,(1.1) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''v'' || is the water velocity at the cell interface (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''H'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''θ'' || is the water content (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''K''|| is the hydraulic conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''x_i''|| is direction i&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hydraulic head is given by the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H=h+p+z\,\,\,\,(1.2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''p'' || is hydrostatic pressure (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''z''|| is the topography  (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When in saturated conditions, hydraulic head is zero and hydrostatic pressure may occur (if water is at rest or decelerating). In unsaturated conditions, hydrostatic pressure is zero and hydraulic head exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soil is a very complex system, made up of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, liquid, and gaseous material. The liquid phase consists of soil water, which fills part or all of the open spaces between the soil particles. Therefore it is possible to divide the soil into two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Saturated soil  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unsaturated one &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water and air&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, the equation of Buckingham Darcy is simplified to the Darcy law and the parameter associated with its resolution are connected with the saturated layer. On the other hand for the resolution of the equation (1.1) a description of the characteristics of the unsaturated layer is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vadose Zone===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many vadose flow and transport studies require description of unsaturated soil hydraulic proprieties over a wide range of pressure heads. The hydraulic proprieties are described using the porous size distribution model of Maulem (1976) for hydraulic conductivity in combination with a water retention function introduced by Van Genuchten (1980). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water content====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water content is the quantity of water contained in the soil (called '''soil moisture'''). It is given as a volumetric basis and it is defined mathematically as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta = \frac{V_w}{V_T}\,\,\,\,(1.3) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T = V_s + V_v = V_s + V_w + V_a\,\,\,\,(1.4)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_w&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; '' || is the volume of water (m s&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the total volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the soil volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the air space (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial Condition===&lt;br /&gt;
The user may define a water content initialization or choose the model to compute in the unsaturated area heads so that soil water is at [[Field Capacity]].&lt;br /&gt;
The below explains the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once determined the aquifer level ('''water table''') the water content is associated at each cells by the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located above the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located over the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the saturated soil  (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the non saturated soil   (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to calculate field capacity by the equation (1.7) the evaluation of the suction head is needed :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h=-DWZ\cdot 0.5\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, cells\,\, immediately\,\, above\,\, the\,\, water\,\, table \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (1.5)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h=-(-DZZ-h)\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, other\,\, cells\,\,\,\, (1.6) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure05.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 1: Suction Head Calculation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As shown in the picture the suction head is calculated in order to maintain the same total head (H = z + p + h) in the cells in agreement with the field capacity definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water retention===&lt;br /&gt;
The model use for characterizing the shape of water retention curves is the van Genuchten model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h) = \theta_r + \frac{\theta_s - \theta_r}{\left[ 1+(\alpha |h|)^n \right]^{1-1/n}}\,\,\,\,\Longrightarrow\,\,\,\,h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{r}}{\theta_{s}-\theta_{r}}\,\,\,\,(1.8)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the the water retention curve (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the residual water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h''|| is the suction head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is related to the inverse of the air entry (m &amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''n''|| is a measure of the pore-size distribution n&amp;gt;1 (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;''|| is the effective saturation (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saturated and Unsaturated Conductivity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The saturated conductivity is given depending on the type of soil; instead the unsaturated conductivity is obtained from the suction head by the Maulem model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)=K_{s}\cdot Se^{L}\cdot (1-(1-Se^{1/m})^{m})^{2}\,\,\,\,(1.9)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the unsaturated conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated conductivity(m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''L'' || empirical pore-connectivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''m''|| m=1-1/n(dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Evapotranspiration===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some water may be extracted from the soil because of the evaporation and transpiration processes, which become a sink in soil water profile. These two processes are currently named Evapotranspiration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential Evapotranspiration may be modeled using the Penmann Monteith equation. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, if vegetation exists, a differentiation between Potential Transpiration and Potential Evaporation is done using LAI.&lt;br /&gt;
These computation are made in [[Module Basin]] since this is the module that handles water fluxes in the interface betwen modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, not all of the potential water that can be evaporated or transpired will be in fact removed from the soil. The water that will really leave the soil through these processes is calculated: i) if vegetation exists, effective transpiration is computed in module Vegetation; ii) effective evaporation is computed in the Porous Media module.&lt;br /&gt;
In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are then used in Porous Media module to compute the new water content. &lt;br /&gt;
The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on: i) a pressure head limit or ii) a soil conductivity limit, chosen by the user. It allows the model not to evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil head gets below the assigned value (i) or limits evaporation velocity to layer unsaturated conductivity (ii).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:evapotranspiration fluxogram.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Evapotranspiration fluxogram in Mohid Land model]]&lt;br /&gt;
Remind that Feddes is one option for computing effective transpiration in plants in [[module Vegetation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iteration Process===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once obtained the water fluxes a balance on the water volume of each cell is apply in order to obtain the new water content &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The balance applied is the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction X'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{t+\Delta t}= \frac {(\theta^{t}\cdot V_{cell}+((FluxU_{(i,j,k)} - FluxU_{(i,j+1,k)})\cdot \Delta t)} { V_{cell}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction Y'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxV_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k)}-FluxV_{(i+1,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i+1,j,k)})\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Vertical Direction W'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxW_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k})-FluxW_{(i,j,k+1)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k+1}))\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transpiration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(TranspFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evaporation Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(EvapFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Infiltration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(UnsatK\cdot Area_{cell}\cdot(1-Imp) \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Area_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell area (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''ComputeFace'' || is the computed face (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Delta t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxX'' || is the flux in X direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxV'' || is the flux in Y direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxW'' || is the flux in W direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''TranspFlux'' || is the transpiration flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''EvapFlux'' || is the evaporation flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''UnsatK'' || is unsaturated conductivity (m /s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''Imp'' || is the percentage of impermeable soil of the cell (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so obtained is compared with one used in the volumes calculation and the iterative process stop when: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(\theta^{'})-(\theta^{new})&amp;lt;\,\, Tolerance\,\,\,\, (1.10) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{'}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content of the previous iteration (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the equation (1.9) is not satisfy the temporal step is divided in half and the new value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is used for solving the equation (1.7) for restarting the calculation process. The iteration process is stoped when the tolerance desired is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure06.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 2: Time step reduction]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia there is the option to define the boundary condition in different components. It can be imposed an aquifer level at the soil lateral &amp;quot;walls&amp;quot; and/or free flux in the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level imposed in lateral walls is used to compute lateral flows using the same equation as for soil (Buckingham-Darcy).&lt;br /&gt;
In the outside (boundary) it is assumed that field capacity occurs above aquifer and no hidrostatic pressure in saturated area (the total head is the same in all column). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the bottom boundary condition is assumed &amp;quot;free-flow&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;null gradient&amp;quot; where water content is the same in both bottom and outside. It is assumed no hidrostatic pressure in the bottom what is reasonable since water is moving trough the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary fluxes are computed after the flow computation iteration. Boundary flows are computed in cells that are saturated and higher than boundary level or cells unsaturated lower than boundary level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lateral Boundary flux is computed with Buckingham-Darcy equation in all faces that are boundary using saturated conductivity (saturated front movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral boundary level can be imposed as a constant value everywhere or defined by piezometers where level data can be interpolated to boundary in space and time. In case of piezometers the user provides the location coordinates and the model interpolates (using triangulation or IWD) the level data (single value or timeserie) to the boundary cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom Boundary flux is computed using bottom conductivity derived from Buckingham-Darcy equation (Head gradient is one) and flux is:&lt;br /&gt;
 ConductivityBottom * Area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the lateral open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_VALUE     : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword that defines the lateral boundary level (constant everywhere) is:&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_VALUE            : 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral open boundary computation can be limited to specific areas defining the maximum altimetry that the boundary will be open. This is specifically useful when one wants to open the groundwater water at the end of the watershed where in fact the flux can go trough the boundaries delimitation.&lt;br /&gt;
 MAX_DTM_FOR_BOUNDARY      : 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a value of the latter keyword higher than the maximum altimetry found in the watershed will make the boundary open in all watershed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blocks that allows to define piezometers (if not defined, the value used is BOUNDARY_VALUE everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For triangulation is needed at least 3 piezometers as minimum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the bottom open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_BOTTOM    : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia the discharges may be positive or negative (PorousMedia uses discharge flow) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges. It was only programmed in PorousMedia the using of the defined discharge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To have a discharge in PorousMedia the user defines a discharge in any K_CELL positive and different from zero in the discharge definition (Discharges_X.dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase, the several discharges flows are accounted and water content updated. The computation is inside the water content iteration process.&lt;br /&gt;
And integration variable integrates this flow for PorousMediaProperties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For discharges to be read in Discharges_X.dat the following keyword needs to exist in the PorousMedia_X.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
Without these keyword no matter what is inside Discharges_X.dat it will not be read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to Generate Info needed in Porous Media===&lt;br /&gt;
====SoilMap====&lt;br /&gt;
Model needs to know soil ID in each cell and layer to pick hydraulic properties from that type of soil. In Pedology soil includes more than one horizon, each with different soil properties. Here Soil is used has a unit of soil hidraulic properties, i.e., to define a soil with three horizons one has to create three SoilID (see below). This also means that if a watershed has at least one soil with three horizons one has to create three soil maps. Each soil map will be infact the map of each horizon of the soils. The grid cells with only one horizon will have the same SoilID in all maps, the grid cells with three horizons will have a different SoilID in each map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Remarks'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the soil ID's appearing in the soil grid(s) must be defined in the PorousMedia data file in terms of hydraulic properties:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_S                   : 0.3859      !is the saturated water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7 (theta s)&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Soil Bottom====&lt;br /&gt;
The soil depth must be known by the model. This is computed by the model from terrain altitude (topography) and soil bottom altitude. As so, a soil bottom grid is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. &lt;br /&gt;
Soil depth (and soil bottom altitude, the effective grid needed) can be defined with a constant depth or estimated from slope [[HOW TO SoilBottom LINK]]. When the soil depth is estimated as a function of slope, soil depth will be smaller in ares with higher slope. In this areas only the surface layers of the soil will be considered (see [[Module_PorousMedia#Porous_Media_Geometry|Porous Media Geometry]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define the grid just generated, in the porous media data file with: &lt;br /&gt;
 BOTTOM_FILE  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\BottomLevel.dat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Level====&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
*Grid File.&lt;br /&gt;
The water table altitude represents the initial altitude of the water table. &lt;br /&gt;
It is recommended to do a spin-up run to estabilize water level and then do a continuous simulation starting with the final water table achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : waterlevel&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\WaterLevel0.50.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Impermeability====&lt;br /&gt;
Impermeability values (0 - completely permeable, 1 - impermeable) must be provided. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant Value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. One possible option is to associate with land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Impermeability values.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginimpermeablefraction&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : impermeablefraction&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Porous Media is responsible for handling all water fluxes in soil, including water transport due to the balance between pressure (gravity and suction) and resistance trough the medium, infiltration, evapotranspiration and link with the river (groundwater flow).&lt;br /&gt;
Soil fluxes are calculated by the Buckingham-Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991) and the connections with surface runoff and river are done using the same formulation where the surface water Head is the water level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Porous Media Geometry===&lt;br /&gt;
Porous Media is a 3D domain delimited in its upper limit by topography and lower limit by soil bottom (defined by user).&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of soil definition it can be defined vertical horizons to correspond to real soil horizons with different hydraulic carachteristics.&lt;br /&gt;
See the picture below for information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;htm&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/jovem/folders/Jing/media/b9ef6c79-c1d1-46ea-94f7-623471c15883/MohidLandSoilProfile.png&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/jovem/folders/Jing/media/b9ef6c79-c1d1-46ea-94f7-623471c15883/MohidLandSoilProfile.png&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;650&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;436&amp;quot;  border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/htm&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Flow===&lt;br /&gt;
Soil contains a large distribution of pore sizes and channels through which water may flow. In general, the water flow determination is based on the mass conservation and momentum equation [[Equations]]. In the case of soil it is assumed that acceleration is close to zero since velocities are very low; therefore the balance is reduced to the forces of pressure, gravity and viscous. The equation that describes the flow through soil is the Buckingham Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v=-K\left ( \theta  \right )\left ( \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_i}  \right )\,\,\,\,(1.1) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''v'' || is the water velocity at the cell interface (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''H'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''θ'' || is the water content (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''K''|| is the hydraulic conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''x_i''|| is direction i&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hydraulic head is given by the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H=h+p+z\,\,\,\,(1.2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''p'' || is hydrostatic pressure (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''z''|| is the topography  (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in saturated conditions, hydraulic head is zero and hydrostatic pressure may occur (if water is at rest or decelerating). In unsaturated conditions, hydrostatic pressure is zero and hydraulic head exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soil is a very complex system, made up of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, liquid, and gaseous material. The liquid phase consists of soil water, which fills part or all of the open spaces between the soil particles. Therefore it is possible to divide the soil into two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Saturated soil  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unsaturated one &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water and air&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, the equation of Buckingham Darcy is simplified to the Darcy law and the parameter associated with its resolution are connected with the saturated layer. On the other hand for the resolution of the equation (1.1) a description of the characteristics of the unsaturated layer is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vadose Zone===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many vadose flow and transport studies require description of unsaturated soil hydraulic proprieties over a wide range of pressure heads. The hydraulic proprieties are described using the porous size distribution model of Maulem (1976) for hydraulic conductivity in combination with a water retention function introduced by Van Genuchten (1980). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water content====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water content is the quantity of water contained in the soil (called '''soil moisture'''). It is given as a volumetric basis and it is defined mathematically as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta = \frac{V_w}{V_T}\,\,\,\,(1.3) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T = V_s + V_v = V_s + V_w + V_a\,\,\,\,(1.4)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_w&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; '' || is the volume of water (m s&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the total volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the soil volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the air space (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial Condition===&lt;br /&gt;
The user may define a water content initialization or choose the model to compute in the unsaturated area heads so that soil water is at [[Field Capacity]].&lt;br /&gt;
The below explains the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once determined the aquifer level ('''water table''') the water content is associated at each cells by the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located above the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located over the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the saturated soil  (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the non saturated soil   (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to calculate field capacity by the equation (1.7) the evaluation of the suction head is needed :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h=-DWZ\cdot 0.5\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, cells\,\, immediately\,\, above\,\, the\,\, water\,\, table \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (1.5)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h=-(-DZZ-h)\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, other\,\, cells\,\,\,\, (1.6) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure05.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 1: Suction Head Calculation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As shown in the picture the suction head is calculated in order to maintain the same total head (H = z + p + h) in the cells in agreement with the field capacity definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water retention===&lt;br /&gt;
The model use for characterizing the shape of water retention curves is the van Genuchten model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h) = \theta_r + \frac{\theta_s - \theta_r}{\left[ 1+(\alpha |h|)^n \right]^{1-1/n}}\,\,\,\,\Longrightarrow\,\,\,\,h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{r}}{\theta_{s}-\theta_{r}}\,\,\,\,(1.8)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the the water retention curve (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the residual water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h''|| is the suction head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is related to the inverse of the air entry (m &amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''n''|| is a measure of the pore-size distribution n&amp;gt;1 (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;''|| is the effective saturation (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saturated and Unsaturated Conductivity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The saturated conductivity is given depending on the type of soil; instead the unsaturated conductivity is obtained from the suction head by the Maulem model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)=K_{s}\cdot Se^{L}\cdot (1-(1-Se^{1/m})^{m})^{2}\,\,\,\,(1.9)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the unsaturated conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated conductivity(m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''L'' || empirical pore-connectivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''m''|| m=1-1/n(dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Evapotranspiration===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some water may be extracted from the soil because of the evaporation and transpiration processes, which become a sink in soil water profile. These two processes are currently named Evapotranspiration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential Evapotranspiration may be modeled using the Penmann Monteith equation. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, if vegetation exists, a differentiation between Potential Transpiration and Potential Evaporation is done using LAI.&lt;br /&gt;
These computation are made in [[Module Basin]] since this is the module that handles water fluxes in the interface betwen modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, not all of the potential water that can be evaporated or transpired will be in fact removed from the soil. The water that will really leave the soil through these processes is calculated: i) if vegetation exists, effective transpiration is computed in module Vegetation; ii) effective evaporation is computed in the Porous Media module.&lt;br /&gt;
In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are then used in Porous Media module to compute the new water content. &lt;br /&gt;
The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on: i) a pressure head limit or ii) a soil conductivity limit, chosen by the user. It allows the model not to evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil head gets below the assigned value (i) or limits evaporation velocity to layer unsaturated conductivity (ii).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:evapotranspiration fluxogram.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Evapotranspiration fluxogram in Mohid Land model]]&lt;br /&gt;
Remind that Feddes is one option for computing effective transpiration in plants in [[module Vegetation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iteration Process===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once obtained the water fluxes a balance on the water volume of each cell is apply in order to obtain the new water content &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The balance applied is the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction X'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{t+\Delta t}= \frac {(\theta^{t}\cdot V_{cell}+((FluxU_{(i,j,k)} - FluxU_{(i,j+1,k)})\cdot \Delta t)} { V_{cell}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction Y'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxV_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k)}-FluxV_{(i+1,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i+1,j,k)})\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Vertical Direction W'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxW_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k})-FluxW_{(i,j,k+1)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k+1}))\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transpiration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(TranspFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evaporation Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(EvapFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Infiltration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(UnsatK\cdot Area_{cell}\cdot(1-Imp) \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Area_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell area (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''ComputeFace'' || is the computed face (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Delta t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxX'' || is the flux in X direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxV'' || is the flux in Y direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxW'' || is the flux in W direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''TranspFlux'' || is the transpiration flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''EvapFlux'' || is the evaporation flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''UnsatK'' || is unsaturated conductivity (m /s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''Imp'' || is the percentage of impermeable soil of the cell (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so obtained is compared with one used in the volumes calculation and the iterative process stop when: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(\theta^{'})-(\theta^{new})&amp;lt;\,\, Tolerance\,\,\,\, (1.9) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{'}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content of the previous iteration (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the equation (1.9) is not satisfy the temporal step is divided in half and the new value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is used for solving the equation (1.7) for restarting the calculation process. The iteration process is stoped when the tolerance desired is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia there is the option to define the boundary condition in different components. It can be imposed an aquifer level at the soil lateral &amp;quot;walls&amp;quot; and/or free flux in the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level imposed in lateral walls is used to compute lateral flows using the same equation as for soil (Buckingham-Darcy).&lt;br /&gt;
In the outside (boundary) it is assumed that field capacity occurs above aquifer and no hidrostatic pressure in saturated area (the total head is the same in all column). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the bottom boundary condition is assumed &amp;quot;free-flow&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;null gradient&amp;quot; where water content is the same in both bottom and outside. It is assumed no hidrostatic pressure in the bottom what is reasonable since water is moving trough the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary fluxes are computed after the flow computation iteration. Boundary flows are computed in cells that are saturated and higher than boundary level or cells unsaturated lower than boundary level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lateral Boundary flux is computed with Buckingham-Darcy equation in all faces that are boundary using saturated conductivity (saturated front movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral boundary level can be imposed as a constant value everywhere or defined by piezometers where level data can be interpolated to boundary in space and time. In case of piezometers the user provides the location coordinates and the model interpolates (using triangulation or IWD) the level data (single value or timeserie) to the boundary cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom Boundary flux is computed using bottom conductivity derived from Buckingham-Darcy equation (Head gradient is one) and flux is:&lt;br /&gt;
 ConductivityBottom * Area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the lateral open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_VALUE     : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword that defines the lateral boundary level (constant everywhere) is:&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_VALUE            : 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral open boundary computation can be limited to specific areas defining the maximum altimetry that the boundary will be open. This is specifically useful when one wants to open the groundwater water at the end of the watershed where in fact the flux can go trough the boundaries delimitation.&lt;br /&gt;
 MAX_DTM_FOR_BOUNDARY      : 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a value of the latter keyword higher than the maximum altimetry found in the watershed will make the boundary open in all watershed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blocks that allows to define piezometers (if not defined, the value used is BOUNDARY_VALUE everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia the discharges may be positive or negative (PorousMedia uses discharge flow) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges. It was only programmed in PorousMedia the using of the defined discharge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To have a discharge in PorousMedia the user defines a discharge in any K_CELL positive and different from zero in the discharge definition (Discharges_X.dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase, the several discharges flows are accounted and water content updated. The computation is inside the water content iteration process.&lt;br /&gt;
And integration variable integrates this flow for PorousMediaProperties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For discharges to be read in Discharges_X.dat the following keyword needs to exist in the PorousMedia_X.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
Without these keyword no matter what is inside Discharges_X.dat it will not be read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to Generate Info needed in Porous Media===&lt;br /&gt;
====SoilMap====&lt;br /&gt;
Model needs to know soil ID in each cell and layer to pick hydraulic properties from that type of soil. In Pedology soil includes more than one horizon, each with different soil properties. Here Soil is used has a unit of soil hidraulic properties, i.e., to define a soil with three horizons one has to create three SoilID (see below). This also means that if a watershed has at least one soil with three horizons one has to create three soil maps. Each soil map will be infact the map of each horizon of the soils. The grid cells with only one horizon will have the same SoilID in all maps, the grid cells with three horizons will have a different SoilID in each map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant value&lt;br /&gt;
* Soil Grid. One possible option is to associate with soil shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the soil shape file and iii) the corespondence between soil codes and soil ID defined in data file. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil ID must be defined in [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards for each soil horizon defined (grid example):&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
All the soil ID's appearing in the soil grid(s) must be defined in the PorousMedia data file in terms of hydraulic properties:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_S                   : 0.3859      !is the saturated water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7 (theta s)&lt;br /&gt;
 THETA_R                   : 0.0476      !is the residual water content (m 3/m 3) - equation 1.7  (theta r)&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 2&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Soil Bottom====&lt;br /&gt;
The soil depth must be known by the model. This is computed by the model from terrain altitude (topography) and soil bottom altitude. As so, a soil bottom grid is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. &lt;br /&gt;
Soil depth (and soil bottom altitude, the effective grid needed) can be defined with a constant depth or estimated from slope [[HOW TO SoilBottom LINK]]. When the soil depth is estimated as a function of slope, soil depth will be smaller in ares with higher slope. In this areas only the surface layers of the soil will be considered (see [[Module_PorousMedia#Porous_Media_Geometry|Porous Media Geometry]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define the grid just generated, in the porous media data file with: &lt;br /&gt;
 BOTTOM_FILE  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\BottomLevel.dat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Level====&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
*Grid File.&lt;br /&gt;
The water table altitude represents the initial altitude of the water table. &lt;br /&gt;
It is recommended to do a spin-up run to estabilize water level and then do a continuous simulation starting with the final water table achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : waterlevel&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\WaterLevel0.50.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Impermeability====&lt;br /&gt;
Impermeability values (0 - completely permeable, 1 - impermeable) must be provided. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant Value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. One possible option is to associate with land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Impermeability values.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginimpermeablefraction&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : impermeablefraction&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\AreaImpermeavel.dat&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Porous Media is responsible for handling all water fluxes in soil, including water transport due to the balance between pressure (gravity and suction) and resistance trough the medium, infiltration, evapotranspiration and link with the river (groundwater flow).&lt;br /&gt;
Soil fluxes are calculated by the Buckingham-Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991) and the connections with surface runoff and river are done using the same formulation where the surface water Head is the water level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Porous Media Geometry===&lt;br /&gt;
Porous Media is a 3D domain delimited in its upper limit by topography and lower limit by soil bottom (defined by user).&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of soil definition it can be defined vertical horizons to correspond to real soil horizons with different hydraulic carachteristics.&lt;br /&gt;
See the picture below for information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;htm&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/jovem/folders/Jing/media/b9ef6c79-c1d1-46ea-94f7-623471c15883/MohidLandSoilProfile.png&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/jovem/folders/Jing/media/b9ef6c79-c1d1-46ea-94f7-623471c15883/MohidLandSoilProfile.png&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;650&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;436&amp;quot;  border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/htm&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Flow===&lt;br /&gt;
Soil contains a large distribution of pore sizes and channels through which water may flow. In general, the water flow determination is based on the mass conservation and momentum equation [[Equations]]. In the case of soil it is assumed that acceleration is close to zero since velocities are very low; therefore the balance is reduced to the forces of pressure, gravity and viscous. The equation that describes the flow through soil is the Buckingham Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v=-K\left ( \theta  \right )\left ( \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_i}  \right )\,\,\,\,(1.1) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''v'' || is the water velocity at the cell interface (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''H'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''θ'' || is the water content (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''K''|| is the hydraulic conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''x_i''|| is direction i&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hydraulic head is given by the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H=h+p+z\,\,\,\,(1.2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''p'' || is hydrostatic pressure (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''z''|| is the topography  (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in saturated conditions, hydraulic head is zero and hydrostatic pressure may occur (if water is at rest or decelerating). In unsaturated conditions, hydrostatic pressure is zero and hydraulic head exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soil is a very complex system, made up of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, liquid, and gaseous material. The liquid phase consists of soil water, which fills part or all of the open spaces between the soil particles. Therefore it is possible to divide the soil into two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Saturated soil  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unsaturated one &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water and air&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, the equation of Buckingham Darcy is simplified to the Darcy law and the parameter associated with its resolution are connected with the saturated layer. On the other hand for the resolution of the equation (1.1) a description of the characteristics of the unsaturated layer is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vadose Zone===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many vadose flow and transport studies require description of unsaturated soil hydraulic proprieties over a wide range of pressure heads. The hydraulic proprieties are described using the porous size distribution model of Maulem (1976) for hydraulic conductivity in combination with a water retention function introduced by Van Genuchten (1980). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water content====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water content is the quantity of water contained in the soil (called '''soil moisture'''). It is given as a volumetric basis and it is defined mathematically as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta = \frac{V_w}{V_T}\,\,\,\,(1.3) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T = V_s + V_v = V_s + V_w + V_a\,\,\,\,(1.4)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_w&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; '' || is the volume of water (m s&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the total volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the soil volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the air space (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial Condition===&lt;br /&gt;
The user may define a water content initialization or choose the model to compute in the unsaturated area heads so that soil water is at [[Field Capacity]].&lt;br /&gt;
The below explains the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once determined the aquifer level ('''water table''') the water content is associated at each cells by the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located above the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located over the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the saturated soil  (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the non saturated soil   (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to calculate field capacity by the equation (1.7) the evaluation of the suction head is needed :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h=-DWZ\cdot 0.5\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, cells\,\, immediately\,\, above\,\, the\,\, water\,\, table \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (1.5)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h=-(-DZZ-h)\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, other\,\, cells\,\,\,\, (1.6) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure05.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 1: Suction Head Calculation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As shown in the picture the suction head is calculated in order to maintain the same total head (H = z + p + h) in the cells in agreement with the field capacity definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water retention===&lt;br /&gt;
The model use for characterizing the shape of water retention curves is the van Genuchten model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h) = \theta_r + \frac{\theta_s - \theta_r}{\left[ 1+(\alpha |h|)^n \right]^{1-1/n}}\,\,\,\,\Longrightarrow\,\,\,\,h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{r}}{\theta_{s}-\theta_{r}}\,\,\,\,(1.8)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the the water retention curve (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the residual water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h''|| is the suction head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is related to the inverse of the air entry (m &amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''n''|| is a measure of the pore-size distribution n&amp;gt;1 (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;''|| is the effective saturation (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saturated and Unsaturated Conductivity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The saturated conductivity is given depending on the type of soil; instead the unsaturated conductivity is obtained from the suction head by the Maulem model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)=K_{s}\cdot Se^{L}\cdot (1-(1-Se^{1/m})^{m})^{2}(1.9)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the unsaturated conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated conductivity(m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''L'' || empirical pore-connectivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''m''|| m=1-1/n(dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Evapotranspiration===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some water may be extracted from the soil because of the evaporation and transpiration processes, which become a sink in soil water profile. These two processes are currently named Evapotranspiration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential Evapotranspiration may be modeled using the Penmann Monteith equation. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, if vegetation exists, a differentiation between Potential Transpiration and Potential Evaporation is done using LAI.&lt;br /&gt;
These computation are made in [[Module Basin]] since this is the module that handles water fluxes in the interface betwen modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, not all of the potential water that can be evaporated or transpired will be in fact removed from the soil. The water that will really leave the soil through these processes is calculated: i) if vegetation exists, effective transpiration is computed in module Vegetation; ii) effective evaporation is computed in the Porous Media module.&lt;br /&gt;
In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are then used in Porous Media module to compute the new water content. &lt;br /&gt;
The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on: i) a pressure head limit or ii) a soil conductivity limit, chosen by the user. It allows the model not to evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil head gets below the assigned value (i) or limits evaporation velocity to layer unsaturated conductivity (ii).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:evapotranspiration fluxogram.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Evapotranspiration fluxogram in Mohid Land model]]&lt;br /&gt;
Remind that Feddes is one option for computing effective transpiration in plants in [[module Vegetation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iteration Process===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once obtained the water fluxes a balance on the water volume of each cell is apply in order to obtain the new water content &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The balance applied is the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction X'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{t+\Delta t}= \frac {(\theta^{t}\cdot V_{cell}+((FluxU_{(i,j,k)} - FluxU_{(i,j+1,k)})\cdot \Delta t)} { V_{cell}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction Y'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxV_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k)}-FluxV_{(i+1,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i+1,j,k)})\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Vertical Direction W'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxW_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k})-FluxW_{(i,j,k+1)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k+1}))\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transpiration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(TranspFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evaporation Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(EvapFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Infiltration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(UnsatK\cdot Area_{cell}\cdot(1-Imp) \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Area_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell area (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''ComputeFace'' || is the computed face (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Delta t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxX'' || is the flux in X direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxV'' || is the flux in Y direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxW'' || is the flux in W direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''TranspFlux'' || is the transpiration flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''EvapFlux'' || is the evaporation flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''UnsatK'' || is unsaturated conductivity (m /s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''Imp'' || is the percentage of impermeable soil of the cell (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so obtained is compared with one used in the volumes calculation and the iterative process stop when: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(\theta^{'})-(\theta^{new})&amp;lt;\,\, Tolerance\,\,\,\, (1.9) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{'}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content of the previous iteration (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the equation (1.9) is not satisfy the temporal step is divided in half and the new value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is used for solving the equation (1.7) for restarting the calculation process. The iteration process is stoped when the tolerance desired is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia there is the option to define the boundary condition in different components. It can be imposed an aquifer level at the soil lateral &amp;quot;walls&amp;quot; and/or free flux in the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level imposed in lateral walls is used to compute lateral flows using the same equation as for soil (Buckingham-Darcy).&lt;br /&gt;
In the outside (boundary) it is assumed that field capacity occurs above aquifer and no hidrostatic pressure in saturated area (the total head is the same in all column). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the bottom boundary condition is assumed &amp;quot;free-flow&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;null gradient&amp;quot; where water content is the same in both bottom and outside. It is assumed no hidrostatic pressure in the bottom what is reasonable since water is moving trough the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary fluxes are computed after the flow computation iteration. Boundary flows are computed in cells that are saturated and higher than boundary level or cells unsaturated lower than boundary level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lateral Boundary flux is computed with Buckingham-Darcy equation in all faces that are boundary using saturated conductivity (saturated front movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral boundary level can be imposed as a constant value everywhere or defined by piezometers where level data can be interpolated to boundary in space and time. In case of piezometers the user provides the location coordinates and the model interpolates (using triangulation or IWD) the level data (single value or timeserie) to the boundary cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom Boundary flux is computed using bottom conductivity derived from Buckingham-Darcy equation (Head gradient is one) and flux is:&lt;br /&gt;
 ConductivityBottom * Area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the lateral open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_VALUE     : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword that defines the lateral boundary level (constant everywhere) is:&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_VALUE            : 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral open boundary computation can be limited to specific areas defining the maximum altimetry that the boundary will be open. This is specifically useful when one wants to open the groundwater water at the end of the watershed where in fact the flux can go trough the boundaries delimitation.&lt;br /&gt;
 MAX_DTM_FOR_BOUNDARY      : 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a value of the latter keyword higher than the maximum altimetry found in the watershed will make the boundary open in all watershed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blocks that allows to define piezometers (if not defined, the value used is BOUNDARY_VALUE everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia the discharges may be positive or negative (PorousMedia uses discharge flow) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges. It was only programmed in PorousMedia the using of the defined discharge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To have a discharge in PorousMedia the user defines a discharge in any K_CELL positive and different from zero in the discharge definition (Discharges_X.dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase, the several discharges flows are accounted and water content updated. The computation is inside the water content iteration process.&lt;br /&gt;
And integration variable integrates this flow for PorousMediaProperties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For discharges to be read in Discharges_X.dat the following keyword needs to exist in the PorousMedia_X.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
Without these keyword no matter what is inside Discharges_X.dat it will not be read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to Generate Info needed in Porous Media===&lt;br /&gt;
====SoilMap====&lt;br /&gt;
Model needs to know soil ID in each cell and layer to pick hydraulic properties from that type of soil. In Pedology soil includes more than one horizon, each with different soil properties. Here Soil is used has a unit of soil hidraulic properties, i.e., to define a soil with three horizons one has to create three SoilID (see below). This also means that if a watershed has at least one soil with three horizons one has to create three soil maps. Each soil map will be infact the map of each horizon of the soils. The grid cells with only one horizon will have the same SoilID in all maps, the grid cells with three horizons will have a different SoilID in each map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant value&lt;br /&gt;
* Soil Grid. One possible option is to associate with soil shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the soil shape file and iii) the corespondence between soil codes and soil ID defined in data file. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil ID must be defined in [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards for each soil horizon defined (grid example):&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginhorizon&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Remarks'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the soil ID's appearing in the soil grid(s) must be defined in the PorousMedia data file in terms of hydraulic properties:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Soil Bottom====&lt;br /&gt;
The soil depth must be known by the model. This is computed by the model from terrain altitude (topography) and soil bottom altitude. As so, a soil bottom grid is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. &lt;br /&gt;
Soil depth (and soil bottom altitude, the effective grid needed) can be defined with a constant depth or estimated from slope [[HOW TO SoilBottom LINK]]. When the soil depth is estimated as a function of slope, soil depth will be smaller in ares with higher slope. In this areas only the surface layers of the soil will be considered (see [[Module_PorousMedia#Porous_Media_Geometry|Porous Media Geometry]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define the grid just generated, in the porous media data file with: &lt;br /&gt;
 BOTTOM_FILE  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\BottomLevel.dat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Level====&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
*Grid File.&lt;br /&gt;
The water table altitude represents the initial altitude of the water table. &lt;br /&gt;
It is recommended to do a spin-up run to estabilize water level and then do a continuous simulation starting with the final water table achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : waterlevel&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;endwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Impermeability====&lt;br /&gt;
Impermeability values (0 - completely permeable, 1 - impermeable) must be provided. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant Value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. One possible option is to associate with land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Impermeability values.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginimpermeablefraction&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Porous Media is responsible for handling all water fluxes in soil, including water transport due to the balance between pressure (gravity and suction) and resistance trough the medium, infiltration, evapotranspiration and link with the river (groundwater flow).&lt;br /&gt;
Soil fluxes are calculated by the Buckingham-Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991) and the connections with surface runoff and river are done using the same formulation where the surface water Head is the water level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Porous Media Geometry===&lt;br /&gt;
Porous Media is a 3D domain delimited in its upper limit by topography and lower limit by soil bottom (defined by user).&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of soil definition it can be defined vertical horizons to correspond to real soil horizons with different hydraulic carachteristics.&lt;br /&gt;
See the picture below for information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;htm&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/jovem/folders/Jing/media/b9ef6c79-c1d1-46ea-94f7-623471c15883/MohidLandSoilProfile.png&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/jovem/folders/Jing/media/b9ef6c79-c1d1-46ea-94f7-623471c15883/MohidLandSoilProfile.png&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;650&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;436&amp;quot;  border=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/htm&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Flow===&lt;br /&gt;
Soil contains a large distribution of pore sizes and channels through which water may flow. In general, the water flow determination is based on the mass conservation and momentum equation [[Equations]]. In the case of soil it is assumed that acceleration is close to zero since velocities are very low; therefore the balance is reduced to the forces of pressure, gravity and viscous. The equation that describes the flow through soil is the Buckingham Darcy equation (Jury et al,1991). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v=-K\left ( \theta  \right )\left ( \frac{\partial H}{\partial x_i}  \right )\,\,\,\,(1.1) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''v'' || is the water velocity at the cell interface (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''H'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''θ'' || is the water content (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''K''|| is the hydraulic conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''x_i''|| is direction i&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hydraulic head is given by the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H=h+p+z\,\,\,\,(1.2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h'' ||  is the hydraulic head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''p'' || is hydrostatic pressure (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''z''|| is the topography  (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in saturated conditions, hydraulic head is zero and hydrostatic pressure may occur (if water is at rest or decelerating). In unsaturated conditions, hydrostatic pressure is zero and hydraulic head exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soil is a very complex system, made up of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, liquid, and gaseous material. The liquid phase consists of soil water, which fills part or all of the open spaces between the soil particles. Therefore it is possible to divide the soil into two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Saturated soil  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unsaturated one &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Longrightarrow&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;   The soil pores are filled with water and air&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, the equation of Buckingham Darcy is simplified to the Darcy law and the parameter associated with its resolution are connected with the saturated layer. On the other hand for the resolution of the equation (1.1) a description of the characteristics of the unsaturated layer is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vadose Zone===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many vadose flow and transport studies require description of unsaturated soil hydraulic proprieties over a wide range of pressure heads. The hydraulic proprieties are described using the porous size distribution model of Maulem (1976) for hydraulic conductivity in combination with a water retention function introduced by Van Genuchten (1980). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water content====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water content is the quantity of water contained in the soil (called '''soil moisture'''). It is given as a volumetric basis and it is defined mathematically as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta = \frac{V_w}{V_T}\,\,\,\,(1.3) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T = V_s + V_v = V_s + V_w + V_a\,\,\,\,(1.4)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_w&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; '' || is the volume of water (m s&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the total volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the soil volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the air space (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial Condition===&lt;br /&gt;
The user may define a water content initialization or choose the model to compute in the unsaturated area heads so that soil water is at [[Field Capacity]].&lt;br /&gt;
The below explains the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once determined the aquifer level ('''water table''') the water content is associated at each cells by the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located above the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
*If the cell is located over the water table &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the saturated soil  (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=\theta_{ns}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content in the non saturated soil   (m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to calculate field capacity by the equation (1.7) the evaluation of the suction head is needed :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h=-DWZ\cdot 0.5\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, cells\,\, immediately\,\, above\,\, the\,\, water\,\, table \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (1.5)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h=-(-DZZ-h)\,\,\,\,for\,\, the\,\, other\,\, cells\,\,\,\, (1.6) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Figure05.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Figure 1: Suction Head Calculation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As shown in the picture the suction head is calculated in order to maintain the same total head (H = z + p + h) in the cells in agreement with the field capacity definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water retention===&lt;br /&gt;
The model use for characterizing the shape of water retention curves is the van Genuchten model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h) = \theta_r + \frac{\theta_s - \theta_r}{\left[ 1+(\alpha |h|)^n \right]^{1-1/n}}\,\,\,\,\Longrightarrow\,\,\,\,h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(\theta)=\left |\frac{(S_{E}^{-1/n}-1)^{1/n}}{\alpha}  \right |\,\,\,\,(1.7)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{r}}{\theta_{s}-\theta_{r}}\,\,\,\,(1.8)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta(h)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the the water retention curve (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta_r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the residual water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''h''|| is the suction head (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is related to the inverse of the air entry (m &amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''n''|| is a measure of the pore-size distribution n&amp;gt;1 (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S_{E}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;''|| is the effective saturation (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Saturated and Unsaturated Conductivity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The saturated conductivity is given depending on the type of soil; instead the unsaturated conductivity is obtained from the suction head by the Maulem model:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)=K_{s}\cdot Se^{L}\cdot (1-(1-Se^{1/m})^{m})^{2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K(\theta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the unsaturated conductivity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;K_{s}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the saturated conductivity(m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''L'' || empirical pore-connectivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| ''m''|| m=1-1/n(dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Evapotranspiration===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some water may be extracted from the soil because of the evaporation and transpiration processes, which become a sink in soil water profile. These two processes are currently named Evapotranspiration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential Evapotranspiration may be modeled using the Penmann Monteith equation. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, if vegetation exists, a differentiation between Potential Transpiration and Potential Evaporation is done using LAI.&lt;br /&gt;
These computation are made in [[Module Basin]] since this is the module that handles water fluxes in the interface betwen modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, not all of the potential water that can be evaporated or transpired will be in fact removed from the soil. The water that will really leave the soil through these processes is calculated: i) if vegetation exists, effective transpiration is computed in module Vegetation; ii) effective evaporation is computed in the Porous Media module.&lt;br /&gt;
In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are then used in Porous Media module to compute the new water content. &lt;br /&gt;
The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on: i) a pressure head limit or ii) a soil conductivity limit, chosen by the user. It allows the model not to evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil head gets below the assigned value (i) or limits evaporation velocity to layer unsaturated conductivity (ii).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:evapotranspiration fluxogram.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Evapotranspiration fluxogram in Mohid Land model]]&lt;br /&gt;
Remind that Feddes is one option for computing effective transpiration in plants in [[module Vegetation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iteration Process===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once obtained the water fluxes a balance on the water volume of each cell is apply in order to obtain the new water content &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The balance applied is the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction X'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{t+\Delta t}= \frac {(\theta^{t}\cdot V_{cell}+((FluxU_{(i,j,k)} - FluxU_{(i,j+1,k)})\cdot \Delta t)} { V_{cell}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horizontal Direction Y'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxV_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k)}-FluxV_{(i+1,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i+1,j,k)})\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Vertical Direction W'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}+(FluxW_{(i,j,k)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k})-FluxW_{(i,j,k+1)}\cdot  ComputeFace_{(i,j,k+1}))\cdot \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Transpiration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(TranspFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evaporation Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(EvapFlux_{(i,j,k)}\Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Infiltration Flux'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=(\theta\cdot V_{cell}-(UnsatK\cdot Area_{cell}\cdot(1-Imp) \Delta t)\cdot V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell volume (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Area_{cell}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the cell area (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''ComputeFace'' || is the computed face (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Delta t&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxX'' || is the flux in X direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxV'' || is the flux in Y direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''FluxW'' || is the flux in W direction (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''TranspFlux'' || is the transpiration flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''EvapFlux'' || is the evaporation flux (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''UnsatK'' || is unsaturated conductivity (m /s)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''Imp'' || is the percentage of impermeable soil of the cell (dimensionless)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; so obtained is compared with one used in the volumes calculation and the iterative process stop when: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(\theta^{'})-(\theta^{new})&amp;lt;\,\, Tolerance\,\,\,\, (1.9) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:{|&lt;br /&gt;
|''&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta^{'}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;'' || is the water content of the previous iteration (m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;/m &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the equation (1.9) is not satisfy the temporal step is divided in half and the new value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is used for solving the equation (1.7) for restarting the calculation process. The iteration process is stoped when the tolerance desired is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia there is the option to define the boundary condition in different components. It can be imposed an aquifer level at the soil lateral &amp;quot;walls&amp;quot; and/or free flux in the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level imposed in lateral walls is used to compute lateral flows using the same equation as for soil (Buckingham-Darcy).&lt;br /&gt;
In the outside (boundary) it is assumed that field capacity occurs above aquifer and no hidrostatic pressure in saturated area (the total head is the same in all column). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the bottom boundary condition is assumed &amp;quot;free-flow&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;null gradient&amp;quot; where water content is the same in both bottom and outside. It is assumed no hidrostatic pressure in the bottom what is reasonable since water is moving trough the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary fluxes are computed after the flow computation iteration. Boundary flows are computed in cells that are saturated and higher than boundary level or cells unsaturated lower than boundary level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lateral Boundary flux is computed with Buckingham-Darcy equation in all faces that are boundary using saturated conductivity (saturated front movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral boundary level can be imposed as a constant value everywhere or defined by piezometers where level data can be interpolated to boundary in space and time. In case of piezometers the user provides the location coordinates and the model interpolates (using triangulation or IWD) the level data (single value or timeserie) to the boundary cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom Boundary flux is computed using bottom conductivity derived from Buckingham-Darcy equation (Head gradient is one) and flux is:&lt;br /&gt;
 ConductivityBottom * Area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
====Lateral Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the lateral open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;
 IMPOSE_BOUNDARY_VALUE     : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword that defines the lateral boundary level (constant everywhere) is:&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_VALUE            : 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lateral open boundary computation can be limited to specific areas defining the maximum altimetry that the boundary will be open. This is specifically useful when one wants to open the groundwater water at the end of the watershed where in fact the flux can go trough the boundaries delimitation.&lt;br /&gt;
 MAX_DTM_FOR_BOUNDARY      : 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a value of the latter keyword higher than the maximum altimetry found in the watershed will make the boundary open in all watershed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blocks that allows to define piezometers (if not defined, the value used is BOUNDARY_VALUE everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Bottom Boundary====&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in PorousMedia_X.dat that connects the bottom open boundary is:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In PorousMedia the discharges may be positive or negative (PorousMedia uses discharge flow) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges. It was only programmed in PorousMedia the using of the defined discharge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To have a discharge in PorousMedia the user defines a discharge in any K_CELL positive and different from zero in the discharge definition (Discharges_X.dat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase, the several discharges flows are accounted and water content updated. The computation is inside the water content iteration process.&lt;br /&gt;
And integration variable integrates this flow for PorousMediaProperties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For discharges to be read in Discharges_X.dat the following keyword needs to exist in the PorousMedia_X.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
Without these keyword no matter what is inside Discharges_X.dat it will not be read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to Generate Info needed in Porous Media===&lt;br /&gt;
====SoilMap====&lt;br /&gt;
Model needs to know soil ID in each cell and layer to pick hydraulic properties from that type of soil. In Pedology soil includes more than one horizon, each with different soil properties. Here Soil is used has a unit of soil hidraulic properties, i.e., to define a soil with three horizons one has to create three SoilID (see below). This also means that if a watershed has at least one soil with three horizons one has to create three soil maps. Each soil map will be infact the map of each horizon of the soils. The grid cells with only one horizon will have the same SoilID in all maps, the grid cells with three horizons will have a different SoilID in each map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant value&lt;br /&gt;
* Soil Grid. One possible option is to associate with soil shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the soil shape file and iii) the corespondence between soil codes and soil ID defined in data file. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil ID must be defined in [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards for each soil horizon defined (grid example):&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginhorizon&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Remarks'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the soil ID's appearing in the soil grid(s) must be defined in the PorousMedia data file in terms of hydraulic properties:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ID                        : 1&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;endsoiltype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Soil Bottom====&lt;br /&gt;
The soil depth must be known by the model. This is computed by the model from terrain altitude (topography) and soil bottom altitude. As so, a soil bottom grid is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. &lt;br /&gt;
Soil depth (and soil bottom altitude, the effective grid needed) can be defined with a constant depth or estimated from slope [[HOW TO SoilBottom LINK]]. When the soil depth is estimated as a function of slope, soil depth will be smaller in ares with higher slope. In this areas only the surface layers of the soil will be considered (see [[Module_PorousMedia#Porous_Media_Geometry|Porous Media Geometry]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define the grid just generated, in the porous media data file with: &lt;br /&gt;
 BOTTOM_FILE  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\BottomLevel.dat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Level====&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
*Grid File.&lt;br /&gt;
The water table altitude represents the initial altitude of the water table. &lt;br /&gt;
It is recommended to do a spin-up run to estabilize water level and then do a continuous simulation starting with the final water table achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : waterlevel&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;

 FILENAME                  : ..\..\GeneralData\PorousMedia\WaterLevel0.50.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endwaterlevel&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Impermeability====&lt;br /&gt;
Impermeability values (0 - completely permeable, 1 - impermeable) must be provided. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Options:&lt;br /&gt;
* Constant Value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid File. One possible option is to associate with land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Impermeability values.&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following blocks with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginimpermeablefraction&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : impermeablefraction&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RunoffProperties_Transport3.gif|1200px|thumb|center|Transport Equation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of using imposed value than the imposed concentration has to be defined:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ... &lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTBOUNDARY           : 1.&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RunoffProperties_Transport3.gif|900px|thumb|center|Transport Equation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of using imposed value than the imposed concentration has to be defined:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ... &lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTBOUNDARY           : 1.&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RunoffProperties_Transport3.gif|600px|thumb|center|Transport Equation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of using imposed value than the imposed concentration has to be defined:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ... &lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTBOUNDARY           : 1.&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RunoffProperties_Transport3.png|600px|thumb|center|Transport Equation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of using imposed value than the imposed concentration has to be defined:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ... &lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTBOUNDARY           : 1.&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:EquationTransport_RunoffProperties3.png|600px|thumb|center|Transport Equation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of using imposed value than the imposed concentration has to be defined:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ... &lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTBOUNDARY           : 1.&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{(V\times C_{i})^{t+\Delta t}-(V\times C_{i})^{t}}{\Delta t}=-\left (Q_{i+\frac{1}{2}}\times C_{i+\frac{1}{2}}^{*}-Q_{i-\frac{1}{2}}\times C_{i-\frac{1}{2}}^{*}  \right )+\left (\gamma _{i+\frac{1}{2}}^{*}\times A_{i+\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{C_{i+1}^{*}-C_{i}^{*}}{\Delta x_{i}} \: \; -\gamma _{i-\frac{1}{2}}^{*}\times A_{i-\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{C_{i}^{*}-C_{i-1}^{*}}{\Delta x_{i}}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{(V\times C_{i})^{t+\Delta t}-(V\times C_{i})^{t}}{\Delta t}=-\left (Q_{i+\frac{1}{2}}\times C_{i+\frac{1}{2}}^{*}-Q_{i-\frac{1}{2}}\times C_{i-\frac{1}{2}}^{*}  \right )+&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\left (\gamma _{i+\frac{1}{2}}^{*}\times A_{i+\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{C_{i+1}^{*}-C_{i}^{*}}{\Delta x_{i}} \: \; -\gamma _{i-\frac{1}{2}}^{*}\times A_{i-\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{C_{i}^{*}-C_{i-1}^{*}}{\Delta x_{i}}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of using imposed value than the imposed concentration has to be defined:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ... &lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTBOUNDARY           : 1.&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{(V\times C_{i})^{t+\Delta t}-(V\times C_{i})^{t}}{\Delta t}=-\left (Q_{i+\frac{1}{2}}\times C_{i+\frac{1}{2}}^{*}-Q_{i-\frac{1}{2}}\times C_{i-\frac{1}{2}}^{*}  \right )+&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\left (\gamma _{i+\frac{1}{2}}^{*}\times A_{i+\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{C_{i+1}^{*}-C_{i}^{*}}{\Delta x_{i}} \: \; -\gamma _{i-\frac{1}{2}}^{*}\times A_{i-\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{C_{i}^{*}-C_{i-1}^{*}}{\Delta x_{i}}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of using imposed value than the imposed concentration has to be defined:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ... &lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTBOUNDARY           : 1.&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
This is the module in Mohid Land that handles runoff properties, meaning that controls its transport (dependent on fluxes computed in module Runoff). In this module property transformation is not computed since runoff routing is usually a fast process and there is not time for microbiological activity or chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the module that handles erosion/deposition to compute sediment and particulate properties sources and sinks (from surface soil to runoff water and vice-versa).&lt;br /&gt;
Standard units for Module RunoffProperties are mg/L for dissolved and particulated properties in the water column and kg/m2 when deposited in surface soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Property Transport===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time discretization of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be explicit or implicit. If user chooses to use implicit formulation, fluxes between runoff cells are implicit computed and also Drainage Network interaction where sinks in runoff occur. Runoff interaction acting as source to runoff and sinks  from vegetation (particulate organic material easily eroded from manure) are always computed explicitly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial discretization (horizontally and vertically) of property transport in Module RunoffProperties can be chosen from several options as in ModuleWaterProperties for each property (e.g. Upwind order 1 to 3, CentralDifferences, LeapFrog..)&lt;br /&gt;
In order to boost the computation, RunoffProperties has the option of choosing all the same discretization for all the properties (see keywords). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The property transport equation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{(V\times C_{i})^{t+\Delta t}-(V\times C_{i})^{t}}{\Delta t}=-\left (Q_{i+\frac{1}{2}}\times C_{i+\frac{1}{2}}^{*}-Q_{i-\frac{1}{2}}\times C_{i-\frac{1}{2}}^{*}  \right )+\left (\gamma _{i+\frac{1}{2}}^{*}\times&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;A_{i+\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{C_{i+1}^{*}-C_{i}^{*}}{\Delta x_{i}} \: \; -\gamma _{i-\frac{1}{2}}^{*}\times A_{i-\frac{1}{2}}\times \frac{C_{i}^{*}-C_{i-1}^{*}}{\Delta x_{i}}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 V is cell water volume (m3) - water column (m) * cell area (m2)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is cell property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltat is time step (s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Q is flow in cell face (m3/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Gamma is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Deltaxi is cell spatial step in direction i (m)&lt;br /&gt;
 * is t in case of explicit model and t+deltat in case of implicit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusivity in runoff is defined by molecular diffusivity and dispersion (associated to erratic motion)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\gamma _{face}= Diff_{face} +\left (v_{face}\times \lambda _{face}  \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Gammaface is diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 Diffface is molecular diffusivity in cell face (m2/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 vface is velocity at the cell face (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 lambdaface is dispersivity (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Erosion/Deposition===&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion and deposition are function of the shear stress at the soil surface, meaning that higher velocities will tend to erode material and lower velocities will tend to deposit. Sediment bed is simulated as a &amp;quot;fluff layer&amp;quot; representing the easy eroded material in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The property erosion equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=E\times P_{enr}\times \left ( \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{ce}} -1\right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt; \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;E_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt;= \; \tau_{c} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Es is the flux of eroded property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 E is erosion factor (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 Penr is property enrichment ratio to cohesive sediment that exists in sediment bed (kg.m-2Property / kg.m-2sediment) &lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 tauce is the critical (minimum) shear stress for erosion to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erosion of properties occurs dependently on the enrichemt ratio of the property in sediment since the erosion rate (E) is dependent on sediment type and cohesion. It is assumed that erosion is a transfer process between sediment in bed to the water column where properties are adsorbed to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''And the property deposition equation:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=C\times W_{s}\times 1E-3\times \left (1 - \frac{\tau _{b}}{\tau_{cd}} \right ) \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;lt; \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{s}=0 \; if \; \tau_{b} \; &amp;gt;= \; \tau_{cd} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 Ds is the flux of deposited property (kg.m-2.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 C is property concentration (g/m3)&lt;br /&gt;
 Ws is property deposition velocity (m/s)&lt;br /&gt;
 1E-3 is the conversion from grams to kilograms&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is shear stress at the sediment bed (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 taucd is the critical (maximum) shear stress for deposition to occur (Pa)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 taucd has to be lower than tauce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deposition of properties occurs independently on the proportion of the property in sediment. Each property may have a different deposition rate and the process will be proportional to the property concentration since higher concentration will promote flocculation and deposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bottom Shear Stress'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottom shear stress is the effective shear at the soil surface promoted by water transport in runoff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tau _{b}=\frac{\rho \times g\times n^{2}\times v^{2}}{h^{\frac{1}{3}}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where:&lt;br /&gt;
 taub is bottom shear stress (Pa or kg.m-1.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 rho is water density (kg.m-3)&lt;br /&gt;
 g is gravity acceleration (m.s-2)&lt;br /&gt;
 n is manning coefficient (s.m(-1/3))&lt;br /&gt;
 v is velocity at the center of cell (m.s-1)&lt;br /&gt;
 h is water column (m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Partition===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partition between particulated and dissolved species is done using a user ratio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Boundary Conditions==&lt;br /&gt;
In Runoff there is the option to define the boundary condition as an imposed level or time series.&lt;br /&gt;
If water enters domain from outside the properties values in the boundary need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
Boundary properties values are computed in one of two ways: i) impose a property value at boundary; ii) Null gradient where outside concentration is the same as inside.&lt;br /&gt;
The boundary flow from ModuleRunoff and the imposed concentration in boundary are used to define compute new concentrations explicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword in property block in RunoffProperties_X.dat that allows to define the boundary condition method is:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 BOUNDARY_CONDITION        : 2    !1-Imposed Value; 2-Null Gradient&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of using imposed value than the imposed concentration has to be defined:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 ... &lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTBOUNDARY           : 1.&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discharges==&lt;br /&gt;
In RunoffProperties the discharges may be positive or negative (RunoffProperties uses discharge flow and concentrarion) and are dealt with ModuleDischarges&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one property is not discharged than the assumption is that if a positive discharge exists that property concentration is zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Computation===&lt;br /&gt;
The discharges are initialized in Construct phase reading its locations and checking if inside boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Modification phase the discharges are explicit and computed before transport (they were not included in transport scheme). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Keywords===&lt;br /&gt;
For positive discharges the discharge concentration is read from Discharges_X.dat and the following keyword needs to exist in the Runoff Properties_X.dat inside the property block of the discharged property:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISCHARGES : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outputs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output is done in terms of timeseries and HDF following the MOHID standards.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Geometry handles the vertical discretization in MOHID. It was designed to divide the water column (in MOHID Water) or the soil compartment (in MOHID Land) in different vertical coordinates: Sigma, Cartesian, Fixed Spacing, Harmonic, etc. A subdivision of the vertical domain into different sub-domains using different vertical coordinate systems is also possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry manages the initialization and the temporal evolution of the grid. The grid must evolve because of surface level evolution, but can also evolve to minimize vertical advective exchanges between cells and thus to minimize numerical diffusion. The vertical exchange between cells will result into a grid that is locally parallel to the velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reality the flow is never horizontal or along the sigma lines, because the pressure is never purely barotropic or baroclinic, but also due to inertia forces. As a consequence the best grid is that which is able to react as a function of the local vertical velocity. This is the “lagrangian coordinate”. The Lagrangian coordinate must thus be able to manage grid initiated as Cartesian or as Sigma, but must also be able to manage situations when the level changes dramatically in time, as is the case of artificial reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The concept of vertical domain was created to combine different coordinates, being common to use a Cartesian domain in the lower part of deep systems and a Sigma domain on the top to simulate the continental shelf or very coastal zones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry was developed into steps following concepts’ evolution. Initially the aim was only to permit Cartesian or Sigma coordinates (i.e. easy the use of the finite-volume concept), then it evolved to allow small vertical deformation of the grid along the lagrangian concept described above and finally it evolved to allow large reservoir free surface changes (the so called Harmonic grid). In this last case layer could shrink between a minimum and a maximum thickness. This coordinate was used on a top domain to include the region within the range of free surface level change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geometry ==&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 1 represents the heights used to describe the vertical geometry in the model. The Hydrographic zero (ZH) is the most important. The free surface elevation (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, positive upwards) is the distance between the free surface and ZH. The depth (h, positive downwards) is the distance between the hydrographic zero and the bottom (h in hydrography is usually called the reduced depth ). Z0 is the mean sea level. The tidal wave oscillation is center on this level. ZH is a characteristic of a port (or region) and is always below the minimum surface elevation. As a consequence &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is always positive. h is negative above ZH and consequently every intertidal area as a negative h. The water column height is H=(h+ &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) and it minimum value is zero, in the intertidal areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:MOHIDWaterHeigthsAndLevels.png|center|425px|thumb| MOHID Water heights and levels for 2 domains]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model vertical distances between computational points have names with like D?Z where “?” is a letter that identifies the points where properties are computed. Vertical velocities (w) are computed on the horizontal faces (upper and lower cell faces). The distance between them is designated DWZ. The distance between the center of the cells is designated by DZZ. These variables are 3D arrays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model the first layer is the bottom layer. Because the number of layers is variable there is a 2D matrix used to specify the kfloor (i,j) which value is the number of the bottom cell. The distance between the top face of a layer and the hydrographic zero is SZZ (Figure 3). The maximum value of SZZ is h, at the bottom and the minimum value is the symmetric of the free surface elevation (-&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;).The last SZZ value computed in a water column corresponds to the cell face laying on the bottom (i.e. Kfloor -1). SZZ is used in the code to compute layers thickness, vertical faces areas and cell volumes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sigma ===&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma domains adapt to bathymetry and change with the water column. Thicknesses are defined in percentage of water column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SZZ.gif|center|425px|thumb|Vertical sigma mesh]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesian ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian is a fixed domain that builds layers from Hydrographic Zero or Domain Depth to bottom layer with fixed depth at each layer. In the end of the process, if cartesian is the upper domain, the top layer face is allowed to equalized to surface level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth.&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Fixed Spacing coordinates|Fixed Spacing]] coordinate allows the user to study flows close to the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Harmonic === &lt;br /&gt;
'''Harmonic Coordinate is going to be discontinued'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Harmonic coordinate works like the Cartesian coordinate, just that the horizontal faces close to the surface expand and collapse depending on the variation of the surface elevation. This coordinate was implemented in the geometry module to simulate reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixsediment ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SigmaTop ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesiantop ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesiantop is equal to cartesian but builds layers from top (topography) to bottom. Instead of having a reference level to all cells to build layers as cartesian, in CartesianTop layers are built in every collumn from topography (that can change from cell to cell). This type of coodinates are used for [[Mohid_Land|Mohid Land]]. The top is the topography and the bottom is the non-porousmedia (rock). This means that in lower depth soils there will be less layers than in higher depth soils.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General options ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lagrangian Process===&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian process moves the layers faces with the vertical flow velocity. It can be called to change geometry in Sigma and Cartesian coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
The layer displacement is limited by a minimum and a maximum cell thickness (shrinking or expansion). These values are defined by the user as a percentage of the initial cell thickness (i.e. of the values provided in the input file to define the geometry).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Construction Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
In the case that a Sigma or Cartesian domain uses Lagrangian approach to compute layer displacement, than a new keyword has to be included in geometry block:&lt;br /&gt;
 LAGRANGIAN : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other keywords specific to Lagrangian approach is:&lt;br /&gt;
 MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS : X&lt;br /&gt;
This keyword represents the percentage of layer thickness (defined in geometry input file) that a layer may compress or expand from the defined layer distribution given by the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Cartesian domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [m] * [-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Sigma domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [-] *[m] *[-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k) * DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k)  *  DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another keyword that was maintained is:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISPLACEMENT_LIMIT : X&lt;br /&gt;
That represents the maximum displacement in meters that the layer face (or SZZ) may be displaced. This is an extra limit to add to the minimum and maximum thickness as shown above. This limit should not have the most impact on results so the default value is 1000m (it will not limit movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Modification Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Lagrangian evolution the grid is deformed at each time step. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First a new estimation of SZZ is computed. Surface and bottom faces SZZ's are fixed. &lt;br /&gt;
Starting at the top layer, the displacement of each face is estimated using the last vertical velocity computed (displacement [m] = vertical velocity[m/s] * time step [s]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At each layer, the estimation of SZZ based on vertical velocity is tested to check if they are within the maximum deformation allowed for the above and below cells of that face. In case the test fails, SZZ displacement is corrected to the minimum of the deformations allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end, is tested if the bottom layer (the last face to be processed is the bottom layer top face) was estimated with a thickness lower than the minimum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To avoid very thin layers at the bottom that can create model instabilities, two options are evaluated, testing if the water column height is lower than the sum of the layers minimum thichnesses:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# if yes, all layers are at its maximum compression and can not go thinner, so the process puts all the layers with an average thickness (water column / number of layers) &lt;br /&gt;
# if not, then minimum thickness is set to bottom layer and the process goes from bottom to top setting the minimum thickness where this condition is not met. Until it reaches a cell that has enough thickness (greater than its minimum).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above processes are not dependent on vertical velocity (trying to avoid thickness lower than user assigned) and ultimately can lead to stability problems. If that happens try to use more loose compression and expansion parameters (increase MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS) and the process itself will be able to evolve to lower thicknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the final values of SZZ all the geometric properties are computed (distances, areas and volumes) and the vertical fluxes between cells are corrected to account for grid deformation (in ModuleHydrodynamic).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bathymetry consistency diagnostic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vertical discretization is imposed and the bathymetry is chosen, the bottom layer can yield stability problems when using shaved cells. You can have very thin bottom cell next to a very wide bottom cell. To diagnose the existence of such problematic cells, a [[geometry diagnostic]] tool was developed.&lt;br /&gt;

====Domains Definition with Lagrangian Method====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian method was changed in May 2013 but old Lagrangian domains will work without any keyword changes because MOHID will adapt and the domain will be changed from Lagrangian to Sigma or Cartesian depending on INITIALIZATION_METHOD keyword and will have Lagrangian process active. The user will just be warned that the Lagrangian domain is deprecated and tell about the new keyword to use in future projects.&lt;br /&gt;
The new definition is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Geometry handles the vertical discretization in MOHID. It was designed to divide the water column (in MOHID Water) or the soil compartment (in MOHID Land) in different vertical coordinates: Sigma, Cartesian, Fixed Spacing, Harmonic, etc. A subdivision of the vertical domain into different sub-domains using different vertical coordinate systems is also possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry manages the initialization and the temporal evolution of the grid. The grid must evolve because of surface level evolution, but can also evolve to minimize vertical advective exchanges between cells and thus to minimize numerical diffusion. The vertical exchange between cells will result into a grid that is locally parallel to the velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reality the flow is never horizontal or along the sigma lines, because the pressure is never purely barotropic or baroclinic, but also due to inertia forces. As a consequence the best grid is that which is able to react as a function of the local vertical velocity. This is the “lagrangian coordinate”. The Lagrangian coordinate must thus be able to manage grid initiated as Cartesian or as Sigma, but must also be able to manage situations when the level changes dramatically in time, as is the case of artificial reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The concept of vertical domain was created to combine different coordinates, being common to use a Cartesian domain in the lower part of deep systems and a Sigma domain on the top to simulate the continental shelf or very coastal zones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry was developed into steps following concepts’ evolution. Initially the aim was only to permit Cartesian or Sigma coordinates (i.e. easy the use of the finite-volume concept), then it evolved to allow small vertical deformation of the grid along the lagrangian concept described above and finally it evolved to allow large reservoir free surface changes (the so called Harmonic grid). In this last case layer could shrink between a minimum and a maximum thickness. This coordinate was used on a top domain to include the region within the range of free surface level change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geometry ==&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 1 represents the heights used to describe the vertical geometry in the model. The Hydrographic zero (ZH) is the most important. The free surface elevation (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, positive upwards) is the distance between the free surface and ZH. The depth (h, positive downwards) is the distance between the hydrographic zero and the bottom (h in hydrography is usually called the reduced depth ). Z0 is the mean sea level. The tidal wave oscillation is center on this level. ZH is a characteristic of a port (or region) and is always below the minimum surface elevation. As a consequence &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is always positive. h is negative above ZH and consequently every intertidal area as a negative h. The water column height is H=(h+ &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) and it minimum value is zero, in the intertidal areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:MOHIDWaterHeigthsAndLevels.png|center|425px|thumb| MOHID Water heights and levels for 2 domains]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model vertical distances between computational points have names with like D?Z where “?” is a letter that identifies the points where properties are computed. Vertical velocities (w) are computed on the horizontal faces (upper and lower cell faces). The distance between them is designated DWZ. The distance between the center of the cells is designated by DZZ. These variables are 3D arrays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model the first layer is the bottom layer. Because the number of layers is variable there is a 2D matrix used to specify the kfloor (i,j) which value is the number of the bottom cell. The distance between the top face of a layer and the hydrographic zero is SZZ (Figure 3). The maximum value of SZZ is h, at the bottom and the minimum value is the symmetric of the free surface elevation (-&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;).The last SZZ value computed in a water column corresponds to the cell face laying on the bottom (i.e. Kfloor -1). SZZ is used in the code to compute layers thickness, vertical faces areas and cell volumes.&lt;br /&gt;

== Vertical coordinate system ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sigma ===&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma domains adapt to bathymetry and change with the water column. Thicknesses are defined in percentage of water column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SZZ.gif|center|425px|thumb|Vertical sigma mesh]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesian ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian is a fixed domain that builds layers from Hydrographic Zero or Domain Depth to bottom layer with fixed depth at each layer. In the end of the process, if cartesian is the upper domain, the top layer face is allowed to equalized to surface level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixspacing ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Fixed Spacing coordinates|Fixed Spacing]] coordinate allows the user to study flows close to the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Harmonic === &lt;br /&gt;
'''Harmonic Coordinate is going to be discontinued'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Harmonic coordinate works like the Cartesian coordinate, just that the horizontal faces close to the surface expand and collapse depending on the variation of the surface elevation. This coordinate was implemented in the geometry module to simulate reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixsediment ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SigmaTop ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesiantop ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesiantop is equal to cartesian but builds layers from top (topography) to bottom. Instead of having a reference level to all cells to build layers as cartesian, in CartesianTop layers are built in every collumn from topography (that can change from cell to cell). This type of coodinates are used for [[Mohid_Land|Mohid Land]]. The top is the topography and the bottom is the non-porousmedia (rock). This means that in lower depth soils there will be less layers than in higher depth soils.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General options ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lagrangian Process===&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian process moves the layers faces with the vertical flow velocity. It can be called to change geometry in Sigma and Cartesian coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
The layer displacement is limited by a minimum and a maximum cell thickness (shrinking or expansion). These values are defined by the user as a percentage of the initial cell thickness (i.e. of the values provided in the input file to define the geometry).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Construction Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
In the case that a Sigma or Cartesian domain uses Lagrangian approach to compute layer displacement, than a new keyword has to be included in geometry block:&lt;br /&gt;
 LAGRANGIAN : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other keywords specific to Lagrangian approach is:&lt;br /&gt;
 MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS : X&lt;br /&gt;
This keyword represents the percentage of layer thickness (defined in geometry input file) that a layer may compress or expand from the defined layer distribution given by the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Cartesian domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [m] * [-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Sigma domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [-] *[m] *[-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k) * DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k)  *  DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another keyword that was maintained is:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISPLACEMENT_LIMIT : X&lt;br /&gt;
That represents the maximum displacement in meters that the layer face (or SZZ) may be displaced. This is an extra limit to add to the minimum and maximum thickness as shown above. This limit should not have the most impact on results so the default value is 1000m (it will not limit movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Modification Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Lagrangian evolution the grid is deformed at each time step. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First a new estimation of SZZ is computed. Surface and bottom faces SZZ's are fixed. &lt;br /&gt;
Starting at the top layer, the displacement of each face is estimated using the last vertical velocity computed (displacement [m] = vertical velocity[m/s] * time step [s]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At each layer, the estimation of SZZ based on vertical velocity is tested to check if they are within the maximum deformation allowed for the above and below cells of that face. In case the test fails, SZZ displacement is corrected to the minimum of the deformations allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end, is tested if the bottom layer (the last face to be processed is the bottom layer top face) is estimated with a thickness lower than the minimum. Two options are evaluated, testing if the water column height is lower than the sum of the layers minimum thichnesses:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# if yes, all layers are at its maximum compression and can not go thinner, so the process puts all the layers with an average thickness (water column / number of layers) to avoid very thin layers at the bottom that can create model instabilities.&lt;br /&gt;
# if not, then minimum thickness is set to bottom layer and the process goes from bottom to top setting the minimum thickness where this condition is not met. Until it reaches a cell that has enough thickness (greater than its minimum).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above processes are not dependent on vertical velocity (trying to avoid thickness lower than user assigned) and can lead to stability problems. If that happens try to use more loose compression and expansion parameters (increase MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS) and the process itself will be able to evolve to lower thicknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the final values of SZZ all the geometric properties are computed (distances, areas and volumes) and the vertical fluxes between cells are corrected to account for grid deformation (in ModuleHydrodynamic).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bathymetry consistency diagnostic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vertical discretization is imposed and the bathymetry is chosen, the bottom layer can yield stability problems when using shaved cells. You can have very thin bottom cell next to a very wide bottom cell. To diagnose the existence of such problematic cells, a [[geometry diagnostic]] tool was developed.&lt;br /&gt;

====Domains Definition with Lagrangian Method====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian method was changed in May 2013 but old Lagrangian domains will work without any keyword changes because MOHID will adapt and the domain will be changed from Lagrangian to Sigma or Cartesian depending on INITIALIZATION_METHOD keyword and will have Lagrangian process active. The user will just be warned that the Lagrangian domain is deprecated and tell about the new keyword to use in future projects.&lt;br /&gt;
The new definition is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Geometry handles the vertical discretization in MOHID. It was designed to divide the water column (in MOHID Water) or the soil compartment (in MOHID Land) in different vertical coordinates: Sigma, Cartesian, Fixed Spacing, Harmonic, etc. A subdivision of the vertical domain into different sub-domains using different vertical coordinate systems is also possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry manages the initialization and the temporal evolution of the grid. The grid must evolve because of surface level evolution, but can also evolve to minimize vertical advective exchanges between cells and thus to minimize numerical diffusion. The vertical exchange between cells will result into a grid that is locally parallel to the velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reality the flow is never horizontal or along the sigma lines, because the pressure is never purely barotropic or baroclinic, but also due to inertia forces. As a consequence the best grid is that which is able to react as a function of the local vertical velocity. This is the “lagrangian coordinate”. The Lagrangian coordinate must thus be able to manage grid initiated as Cartesian or as Sigma, but must also be able to manage situations when the level changes dramatically in time, as is the case of artificial reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The concept of vertical domain was created to combine different coordinates, being common to use a Cartesian domain in the lower part of deep systems and a Sigma domain on the top to simulate the continental shelf or very coastal zones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry was developed into steps following concepts’ evolution. Initially the aim was only to permit Cartesian or Sigma coordinates (i.e. easy the use of the finite-volume concept), then it evolved to allow small vertical deformation of the grid along the lagrangian concept described above and finally it evolved to allow large reservoir free surface changes (the so called Harmonic grid). In this last case layer could shrink between a minimum and a maximum thickness. This coordinate was used on a top domain to include the region within the range of free surface level change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geometry ==&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 1 represents the heights used to describe the vertical geometry in the model. The Hydrographic zero (ZH) is the most important. The free surface elevation (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, positive upwards) is the distance between the free surface and ZH. The depth (h, positive downwards) is the distance between the hydrographic zero and the bottom (h in hydrography is usually called the reduced depth ). Z0 is the mean sea level. The tidal wave oscillation is center on this level. ZH is a characteristic of a port (or region) and is always below the minimum surface elevation. As a consequence &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is always positive. h is negative above ZH and consequently every intertidal area as a negative h. The water column height is H=(h+ &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) and it minimum value is zero, in the intertidal areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:MOHIDWaterHeigthsAndLevels.png|center|425px|thumb| MOHID Water heights and levels for 2 domains]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model vertical distances between computational points have names with like D?Z where “?” is a letter that identifies the points where properties are computed. Vertical velocities (w) are computed on the horizontal faces (upper and lower cell faces). The distance between them is designated DWZ. The distance between the center of the cells is designated by DZZ. These variables are 3D arrays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model the first layer is the bottom layer. Because the number of layers is variable there is a 2D matrix used to specify the kfloor (i,j) which value is the number of the bottom cell. The distance between the top face of a layer and the hydrographic zero is SZZ (Figure 3). The maximum value of SZZ is h, at the bottom and the minimum value is the symmetric of the free surface elevation (-&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;).The last SZZ value computed in a water column corresponds to the cell face laying on the bottom (i.e. Kfloor -1). SZZ is used in the code to compute layers thickness, vertical faces areas and cell volumes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Vertical coordinate system ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sigma ===&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma domains adapt to bathymetry and change with the water column. Thicknesses are defined in percentage of water column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SZZ.gif|center|425px|thumb|Vertical sigma mesh]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesian ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian is a fixed domain that builds layers from Hydrographic Zero or Domain Depth to bottom layer with fixed depth at each layer. In the end of the process, if cartesian is the upper domain, the top layer face is allowed to equalized to surface level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixspacing ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Fixed Spacing coordinates|Fixed Spacing]] coordinate allows the user to study flows close to the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Harmonic === &lt;br /&gt;
'''Harmonic Coordinate is going to be discontinued'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Harmonic coordinate works like the Cartesian coordinate, just that the horizontal faces close to the surface expand and collapse depending on the variation of the surface elevation. This coordinate was implemented in the geometry module to simulate reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixsediment ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SigmaTop ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesiantop ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesiantop is equal to cartesian but builds layers from top (topography) to bottom. Instead of having a reference level to all cells to build layers as cartesian, in CartesianTop layers are built in every collumn from topography (that can change from cell to cell). This type of coodinates are used for [[Mohid_Land|Mohid Land]]. The top is the topography and the bottom is the non-porousmedia (rock). This means that in lower depth soils there will be less layers than in higher depth soils.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General options ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lagrangian Process===&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian process moves the layers faces with the vertical flow velocity. It can be called to change geometry in Sigma and Cartesian coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
The layer displacement is limited by a minimum and a maximum cell thickness (shrinking or expansion). These values are defined by the user as a percentage of the initial cell thickness (i.e. of the values provided in the input file to define the geometry).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Construction Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
In the case that a Sigma or Cartesian domain uses Lagrangian approach to compute layer displacement, than a new keyword has to be included in geometry block:&lt;br /&gt;
 LAGRANGIAN : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other keywords specific to Lagrangian approach is:&lt;br /&gt;
 MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS : X&lt;br /&gt;
This keyword represents the percentage of layer thickness (defined in geometry input file) that a layer may compress or expand from the defined layer distribution given by the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Cartesian domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [m] * [-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Sigma domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [-] *[m] *[-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k) * DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k)  *  DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another keyword that was maintained is:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISPLACEMENT_LIMIT : X&lt;br /&gt;
That represents the maximum displacement in meters that the layer face (or SZZ) may be displaced. This is an extra limit to add to the minimum and maximum thickness as shown above. This limit should not have the most impact on results so the default value is 1000m (it will not limit movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Modification Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Lagrangian evolution the grid is deformed at each time step. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First a new estimation of SZZ is computed. Surface and bottom faces SZZ's are fixed. &lt;br /&gt;
Starting at the top layer, the displacement of each face is estimated using the last vertical velocity computed (displacement [m] = vertical velocity[m/s] * time step [s]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At each layer, the estimation of SZZ based on vertical velocity is tested to check if they are within the maximum deformation allowed for the above and below cells of that face. In case the test fails, SZZ displacement is corrected to the minimum of the deformations allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end, is tested if the bottom layer (the last face to be processed is the bottom layer top face) is estimated with a thickness lower than the minimum. Two options are evaluated, testing if the water column height is lower than the sum of the layers minimum thichnesses:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# if yes, all layers are at its maximum compression and can not go thinner, so the process puts all the layers with an average thickness (water column / number of layers)&lt;br /&gt;
# if not, then minimum thickness is set to bottom layer and the process goes from bottom to top setting the minimum thickness where this condition is not met. Until it reaches a cell that has enough thickness (greater than its minimum).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above processes are not dependent on vertical velocity (trying to avoid thickness lower than user assigned) and can lead to stability problems. If that happens try to use more loose compression and expansion parameters (increase MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS) and the process itself will be able to evolve to lower thicknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the final values of SZZ all the geometric properties are computed (distances, areas and volumes) and the vertical fluxes between cells are corrected to account for grid deformation (in ModuleHydrodynamic).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bathymetry consistency diagnostic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vertical discretization is imposed and the bathymetry is chosen, the bottom layer can yield stability problems when using shaved cells. You can have very thin bottom cell next to a very wide bottom cell. To diagnose the existence of such problematic cells, a [[geometry diagnostic]] tool was developed.&lt;br /&gt;

====Domains Definition with Lagrangian Method====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian method was changed in May 2013 but old Lagrangian domains will work without any keyword changes because MOHID will adapt and the domain will be changed from Lagrangian to Sigma or Cartesian depending on INITIALIZATION_METHOD keyword and will have Lagrangian process active. The user will just be warned that the Lagrangian domain is deprecated and tell about the new keyword to use in future projects.&lt;br /&gt;
The new definition is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Geometry handles the vertical discretization in MOHID. It was designed to divide the water column (in MOHID Water) or the soil compartment (in MOHID Land) in different vertical coordinates: Sigma, Cartesian, Fixed Spacing, Harmonic, etc. A subdivision of the vertical domain into different sub-domains using different vertical coordinate systems is also possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry manages the initialization and the temporal evolution of the grid. The grid must evolve because of surface level evolution, but can also evolve to minimize vertical advective exchanges between cells and thus to minimize numerical diffusion. The vertical exchange between cells will result into a grid that is locally parallel to the velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reality the flow is never horizontal or along the sigma lines, because the pressure is never purely barotropic or baroclinic, but also due to inertia forces. As a consequence the best grid is that which is able to react as a function of the local vertical velocity. This is the “lagrangian coordinate”. The Lagrangian coordinate must thus be able to manage grid initiated as Cartesian or as Sigma, but must also be able to manage situations when the level changes dramatically in time, as is the case of artificial reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The concept of vertical domain was created to combine different coordinates, being common to use a Cartesian domain in the lower part of deep systems and a Sigma domain on the top to simulate the continental shelf or very coastal zones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry was developed into steps following concepts’ evolution. Initially the aim was only to permit Cartesian or Sigma coordinates (i.e. easy the use of the finite-volume concept), then it evolved to allow small vertical deformation of the grid along the lagrangian concept described above and finally it evolved to allow large reservoir free surface changes (the so called Harmonic grid). In this last case layer could shrink between a minimum and a maximum thickness. This coordinate was used on a top domain to include the region within the range of free surface level change.&lt;br /&gt;

Figure 1 represents the heights used to describe the vertical geometry in the model. The Hydrographic zero (ZH) is the most important. The free surface elevation (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, positive upwards) is the distance between the free surface and ZH. The depth (h, positive downwards) is the distance between the hydrographic zero and the bottom (h in hydrography is usually called the reduced depth ). Z0 is the mean sea level. The tidal wave oscillation is center on this level. ZH is a characteristic of a port (or region) and is always below the minimum surface elevation. As a consequence &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is always positive. h is negative above ZH and consequently every intertidal area as a negative h. The water column height is H=(h+ &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) and it minimum value is zero, in the intertidal areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the model vertical distances between computational points have names with like D?Z where “?” is a letter that identifies the points where properties are computed. Vertical velocities (w) are computed on the horizontal faces (upper and lower cell faces). The distance between them is designated DWZ. The distance between the center of the cells is designated by DZZ. These variables are 3D arrays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model the first layer is the bottom layer. Because the number of layers is variable there is a 2D matrix used to specify the kfloor (i,j) which value is the number of the bottom cell. The distance between the top face of a layer and the hydrographic zero is SZZ (Figure 3). The maximum value of SZZ is h, at the bottom and the minimum value is the symmetric of the free surface elevation (-&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;).The last SZZ value computed in a water column corresponds to the cell face laying on the bottom (i.e. Kfloor -1). SZZ is used in the code to compute layers thickness, vertical faces areas and cell volumes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Vertical coordinate system ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sigma ===&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma domains adapt to bathymetry and change with the water column. Thicknesses are defined in percentage of water column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SZZ.gif|center|425px|thumb|Vertical sigma mesh]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesian ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian is a fixed domain that builds layers from Hydrographic Zero or Domain Depth to bottom layer with fixed depth at each layer. In the end of the process, if cartesian is the upper domain, the top layer face is allowed to equalized to surface level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixspacing ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Fixed Spacing coordinates|Fixed Spacing]] coordinate allows the user to study flows close to the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Harmonic === &lt;br /&gt;
'''Harmonic Coordinate is going to be discontinued'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Harmonic coordinate works like the Cartesian coordinate, just that the horizontal faces close to the surface expand and collapse depending on the variation of the surface elevation. This coordinate was implemented in the geometry module to simulate reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixsediment ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SigmaTop ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesiantop ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesiantop is equal to cartesian but builds layers from top (topography) to bottom. Instead of having a reference level to all cells to build layers as cartesian, in CartesianTop layers are built in every collumn from topography (that can change from cell to cell). This type of coodinates are used for [[Mohid_Land|Mohid Land]]. The top is the topography and the bottom is the non-porousmedia (rock). This means that in lower depth soils there will be less layers than in higher depth soils.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General options ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lagrangian Process===&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian process moves the layers faces with the vertical flow velocity. It can be called to change geometry in Sigma and Cartesian coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
The layer displacement is limited by a minimum and a maximum cell thickness (shrinking or expansion). These values are defined by the user as a percentage of the initial cell thickness (i.e. of the values provided in the input file to define the geometry).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Construction Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
In the case that a Sigma or Cartesian domain uses Lagrangian approach to compute layer displacement, than a new keyword has to be included in geometry block:&lt;br /&gt;
 LAGRANGIAN : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other keywords specific to Lagrangian approach is:&lt;br /&gt;
 MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS : X&lt;br /&gt;
This keyword represents the percentage of layer thickness (defined in geometry input file) that a layer may compress or expand from the defined layer distribution given by the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Cartesian domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [m] * [-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Sigma domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [-] *[m] *[-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k) * DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k)  *  DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another keyword that was maintained is:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISPLACEMENT_LIMIT : X&lt;br /&gt;
That represents the maximum displacement in meters that the layer face (or SZZ) may be displaced. This is an extra limit to add to the minimum and maximum thickness as shown above. This limit should not have the most impact on results so the default value is 1000m (it will not limit movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Modification Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Lagrangian evolution the grid is deformed at each time step. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First a new estimation of SZZ is computed. Surface and bottom faces SZZ's are fixed. &lt;br /&gt;
Starting at the top layer, the displacement of each face is estimated using the last vertical velocity computed (displacement [m] = vertical velocity[m/s] * time step [s]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At each layer, the estimation of SZZ based on vertical velocity is tested to check if they are within the maximum deformation allowed for the above and below cells of that face. In case the test fails, SZZ displacement is corrected to the minimum of the deformations allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end, is tested if the bottom layer (the last face to be processed is the bottom layer top face) is estimated with a thickness lower than the minimum. Two options are evaluated, testing if the water column height is lower than the sum of the layers minimum thichnesses:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# if yes, then the process puts all the layers with an average thichness (water column / number of layers)&lt;br /&gt;
# if not, then minimum thicknesses are set from bottom to top until a cell has tickhness greater than its minimum&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above processes are not dependent on vertical velocity (trying to avoid thickness lower than user assigned) and can lead to stability problems. If that happens try to use more loose compression and expansion parameters (increase MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS) and the process itself will be able to evolve to lower thicknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the final values of SZZ all the geometric properties are computed (distances, areas and volumes) and the vertical fluxes between cells are corrected to account for grid deformation (in ModuleHydrodynamic).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bathymetry consistency diagnostic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vertical discretization is imposed and the bathymetry is chosen, the bottom layer can yield stability problems when using shaved cells. You can have very thin bottom cell next to a very wide bottom cell. To diagnose the existence of such problematic cells, a [[geometry diagnostic]] tool was developed.&lt;br /&gt;

====Domains Definition with Lagrangian Method====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian method was changed in May 2013 but old Lagrangian domains will work without any keyword changes because MOHID will adapt and the domain will be changed from Lagrangian to Sigma or Cartesian depending on INITIALIZATION_METHOD keyword and will have Lagrangian process active. The user will just be warned that the Lagrangian domain is deprecated and tell about the new keyword to use in future projects.&lt;br /&gt;
The new definition is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Geometry handles the vertical discretization in MOHID. It was designed to divide the water column (in MOHID Water) or the soil compartment (in MOHID Land) in different vertical coordinates: Sigma, Cartesian, Fixed Spacing, Harmonic, etc. A subdivision of the vertical domain into different sub-domains using different vertical coordinate systems is also possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry manages the initialization and the temporal evolution of the grid. The grid must evolve because of surface level evolution, but can also evolve to minimize vertical advective exchanges between cells and thus to minimize numerical diffusion. The vertical exchange between cells will result into a grid that is locally parallel to the velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reality the flow is never horizontal or along the sigma lines, because the pressure is never purely barotropic or baroclinic, but also due to inertia forces. As a consequence the best grid is that which is able to react as a function of the local vertical velocity. This is the “lagrangian coordinate”. The Lagrangian coordinate must thus be able to manage grid initiated as Cartesian or as Sigma, but must also be able to manage situations when the level changes dramatically in time, as is the case of artificial reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The concept of vertical domain was created to combine different coordinates, being common to use a Cartesian domain in the lower part of deep systems and a Sigma domain on the top to simulate the continental shelf or very coastal zones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry was developed into steps following concepts’ evolution. Initially the aim was only to permit Cartesian or Sigma coordinates (i.e. easy the use of the finite-volume concept), then it evolved to allow small vertical deformation of the grid along the lagrangian concept described above and finally it evolved to allow large reservoir free surface changes (the so called Harmonic grid). In this last case layer could shrink between a minimum and a maximum thickness. This coordinate was used on a top domain to include the region within the range of free surface level change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geometry ==&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 1 represents the heights used to describe the vertical geometry in the model. The Hydrographic zero (ZH) is the most important. The free surface elevation (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, positive upwards) is the distance between the free surface and ZH. The depth (h, positive downwards) is the distance between the hydrographic zero and the bottom (h in hydrography is usually called the reduced depth ). Z0 is the mean sea level. The tidal wave oscillation is center on this level. ZH is a characteristic of a port (or region) and is always below the minimum surface elevation. As a consequence &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is always positive. h is negative above ZH and consequently every intertidal area as a negative h. The water column height is H=(h+ &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) and it minimum value is zero, in the intertidal areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the model vertical distances between computational points have names with like D?Z where “?” is a letter that identifies the points where properties are computed. Vertical velocities (w) are computed on the horizontal faces (upper and lower cell faces). The distance between them is designated DWZ. The distance between the center of the cells is designated by DZZ. These variables are 3D arrays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model the first layer is the bottom layer. Because the number of layers is variable there is a 2D matrix used to specify the kfloor (i,j) which value is the number of the bottom cell. The distance between the top face of a layer and the hydrographic zero is SZZ (Figure 3). The maximum value of SZZ is h, at the bottom and the minimum value is the symmetric of the free surface elevation (-&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;).The last SZZ value computed in a water column corresponds to the cell face laying on the bottom (i.e. Kfloor -1). SZZ is used in the code to compute layers thickness, vertical faces areas and cell volumes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Vertical coordinate system ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sigma ===&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma domains adapt to bathymetry and change with the water column. Thicknesses are defined in percentage of water column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SZZ.gif|center|425px|thumb|Vertical sigma mesh]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesian ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian is a fixed domain that builds layers from Hydrographic Zero or Domain Depth to bottom layer with fixed depth at each layer. In the end of the process, if cartesian is the upper domain, the top layer face is allowed to equalized to surface level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixspacing ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Fixed Spacing coordinates|Fixed Spacing]] coordinate allows the user to study flows close to the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Harmonic === &lt;br /&gt;
'''Harmonic Coordinate is going to be discontinued'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Harmonic coordinate works like the Cartesian coordinate, just that the horizontal faces close to the surface expand and collapse depending on the variation of the surface elevation. This coordinate was implemented in the geometry module to simulate reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixsediment ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SigmaTop ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesiantop ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesiantop is equal to cartesian but builds layers from top (topography) to bottom. Instead of having a reference level to all cells to build layers as cartesian, in CartesianTop layers are built in every collumn from topography (that can change from cell to cell). This type of coodinates are used for [[Mohid_Land|Mohid Land]]. The top is the topography and the bottom is the non-porousmedia (rock). This means that in lower depth soils there will be less layers than in higher depth soils.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General options ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lagrangian Process===&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian process moves the layers faces with the vertical flow velocity. It can be called to change geometry in Sigma and Cartesian coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
The layer displacement is limited by a minimum and a maximum cell thickness (shrinking or expansion). These values are defined by the user as a percentage of the initial cell thickness (i.e. of the values provided in the input file to define the geometry).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Construction Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
In the case that a Sigma or Cartesian domain uses Lagrangian approach to compute layer displacement, than a new keyword has to be included in geometry block:&lt;br /&gt;
 LAGRANGIAN : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other keywords specific to Lagrangian approach is:&lt;br /&gt;
 MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS : X&lt;br /&gt;
This keyword represents the percentage of layer thickness (defined in geometry input file) that a layer may compress or expand from the defined layer distribution given by the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Cartesian domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [m] * [-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Sigma domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [-] *[m] *[-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k) * DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k)  *  DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another keyword that was maintained is:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISPLACEMENT_LIMIT : X&lt;br /&gt;
That represents the maximum displacement in meters that the layer face (or SZZ) may be displaced. This is an extra limit to add to the minimum and maximum thickness as shown above. This limit should not have the most impact on results so the default value is 1000m (it will not limit movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Modification Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Lagrangian evolution the grid is deformed at each time step. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First a new estimation of SZZ is computed. Starting at the top layer, the displacement of each face is estimated using the last vertical velocity computed (displacement [m] is vertical velocity[m/s] * dt [s]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At each layer, the estimation of SZZ based on vertical velocity is tested to check if they are within the maximum deformation allowed for the above and below cells of that face. In case the test fails, SZZ is corrected to the minimum of the deformations allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end, is tested if the bottom layer (the last face to be processed is the bottom layer top face) is estimated with a thickness lower than the minimum. Two options are evaluated, testing if the water column height is lower than the sum of the layers minimum thichnesses:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# if yes, then the option is to put all the layers with an average thichness (water column / number of layers)&lt;br /&gt;
# if not, then minimum thicknesses are set from bottom to top until a cell has tickhness greater than its minimum&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above processes are not dependent on vertical velocity (trying to avoid thickness lower than user assigned) and can lead to stability problems. If that happens try to use more loose compression and expansion parameters (increase MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS) and the process itself will be able to evolve to lower thicknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the final values of SZZ all the geometric properties are computed (distances, areas and volumes) and the vertical fluxes between cells are corrected to account for grid deformation (in ModuleHydrodynamic).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bathymetry consistency diagnostic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vertical discretization is imposed and the bathymetry is chosen, the bottom layer can yield stability problems when using shaved cells. You can have very thin bottom cell next to a very wide bottom cell. To diagnose the existence of such problematic cells, a [[geometry diagnostic]] tool was developed.&lt;br /&gt;

====Domains Definition with Lagrangian Method====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian method was changed in May 2013 but old Lagrangian domains will work without any keyword changes because MOHID will adapt and the domain will be changed from Lagrangian to Sigma or Cartesian depending on INITIALIZATION_METHOD keyword and will have Lagrangian process active. The user will just be warned that the Lagrangian domain is deprecated and tell about the new keyword to use in future projects.&lt;br /&gt;
The new definition is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Geometry handles the vertical discretization in MOHID. It was designed to divide the water column (in MOHID Water) or the soil compartment (in MOHID Land) in different vertical coordinates: Sigma, Cartesian, Fixed Spacing, Harmonic, etc. A subdivision of the vertical domain into different sub-domains using different vertical coordinate systems is also possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry manages the initialization and the temporal evolution of the grid. The grid must evolve because of surface level evolution, but can also evolve to minimize vertical advective exchanges between cells and thus to minimize numerical diffusion. The vertical exchange between cells will result into a grid that is locally parallel to the velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reality the flow is never horizontal or along the sigma lines, because the pressure is never purely barotropic or baroclinic, but also due to inertia forces. As a consequence the best grid is that which is able to react as a function of the local vertical velocity. This is the “lagrangian coordinate”. The Lagrangian coordinate must thus be able to manage grid initiated as Cartesian or as Sigma, but must also be able to manage situations when the level changes dramatically in time, as is the case of artificial reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The concept of vertical domain was created to combine different coordinates, being common to use a Cartesian domain in the lower part of deep systems and a Sigma domain on the top to simulate the continental shelf or very coastal zones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Module Geometry was developed into steps following concepts’ evolution. Initially the aim was only to permit Cartesian or Sigma coordinates (i.e. easy the use of the finite-volume concept), then it evolved to allow small vertical deformation of the grid along the lagrangian concept described above and finally it evolved to allow large reservoir free surface changes (the so called Harmonic grid). In this last case layer could shrink between a minimum and a maximum thickness. This coordinate was used on a top domain to include the region within the range of free surface level change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geometry ==&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 1 represents the heights used to describe the vertical geometry in the model. The Hydrographic zero (ZH) is the most important. The free surface elevation (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, positive upwards) is the distance between the free surface and ZH. The depth (h, positive downwards) is the distance between the hydrographic zero and the bottom (h in hydrography is usually called the reduced depth ). Z0 is the mean sea level. The tidal wave oscillation is center on this level. ZH is a characteristic of a port (or region) and is always below the minimum surface elevation. As a consequence &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is always positive. h is negative above ZH and consequently every intertidal area as a negative h. The water column height is H=(h+ &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) and it minimum value is zero, in the intertidal areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:MOHIDWaterHeigthsAndLevels.png|center|425px|thumb| MOHID Water heights and levels for 2 domains]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model vertical distances between computational points have names with like D?Z where “?” is a letter that identifies the points where properties are computed. Vertical velocities (w) are computed on the horizontal faces (upper and lower cell faces). The distance between them is designated DWZ. The distance between the center of the cells is designated by DZZ. These variables are 3D arrays. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the model the first layer is the bottom layer. Because the number of layers is variable there is a 2D matrix used to specify the kfloor (i,j) which value is the number of the bottom cell. The distance between the top face of a layer and the hydrographic zero is SZZ (Figure 3). The maximum value of SZZ is h, at the bottom and the minimum value is the symmetric of the free surface elevation (-&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\eta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;).The last SZZ value computed in a water column corresponds to the cell face laying on the bottom (i.e. Kfloor -1). SZZ is used in the code to compute layers thickness, vertical faces areas and cell volumes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Distances are obtained from SZZ.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/htm&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vertical coordinate system ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sigma ===&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma domains adapt to bathymetry and change with the water column. Thicknesses are defined in percentage of water column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigma coordinates are convenient when the pressure gradient is barotropic. In this case the pressure force is the same over the whole water column and vertical velocity gradients are due mostly to bottom friction. In these cases the velocity tends to be parallel to the sigma lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SZZ.gif|center|425px|thumb|Vertical sigma mesh]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesian ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian is a fixed domain that builds layers from Hydrographic Zero or Domain Depth to bottom layer with fixed depth at each layer. In the end of the process, if cartesian is the upper domain, the top layer face is allowed to equalized to surface level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesian coordinates are adequate when the flow is horizontal. This is the case when the baroclinic pressure is important as happens in systems with very low free surface gradient or in deep systems where even small density gradients can result into important baroclinic pressure gradients when the density gradient is integrated along depth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixspacing ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Fixed Spacing coordinates|Fixed Spacing]] coordinate allows the user to study flows close to the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Harmonic === &lt;br /&gt;
'''Harmonic Coordinate is going to be discontinued'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Harmonic coordinate works like the Cartesian coordinate, just that the horizontal faces close to the surface expand and collapse depending on the variation of the surface elevation. This coordinate was implemented in the geometry module to simulate reservoirs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fixsediment ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SigmaTop ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cartesiantop ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cartesiantop is equal to cartesian but builds layers from top (topography) to bottom. Instead of having a reference level to all cells to build layers as cartesian, in CartesianTop layers are built in every collumn from topography (that can change from cell to cell). This type of coodinates are used for [[Mohid_Land|Mohid Land]]. The top is the topography and the bottom is the non-porousmedia (rock). This means that in lower depth soils there will be less layers than in higher depth soils.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General options ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lagrangian Process===&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian process moves the layers faces with the vertical flow velocity. It can be called to change geometry in Sigma and Cartesian coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
The layer displacement is limited by a minimum and a maximum cell thickness (shrinking or expansion). These values are defined by the user as a percentage of the initial cell thickness (i.e. of the values provided in the input file to define the geometry).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Construction Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
In the case that a Sigma or Cartesian domain uses Lagrangian approach to compute layer displacement, than a new keyword has to be included in geometry block:&lt;br /&gt;
 LAGRANGIAN : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other keywords specific to Lagrangian approach is:&lt;br /&gt;
 MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS : X&lt;br /&gt;
This keyword represents the percentage of layer thickness (defined in geometry input file) that a layer may compress or expand from the defined layer distribution given by the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Cartesian domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [m] * [-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedThickness(k) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Sigma domain a layer will be allowed to change thickness within:&lt;br /&gt;
 [m] = [-] *[m] *[-]&lt;br /&gt;
 MinLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k) * DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 – MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
 MaxLayerThickness(k) = DefinedPercentage(k)  *  DomainThickness(i,j) * (1 + MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another keyword that was maintained is:&lt;br /&gt;
 DISPLACEMENT_LIMIT : X&lt;br /&gt;
That represents the maximum displacement in meters that the layer face (or SZZ) may be displaced. This is an extra limit to add to the minimum and maximum thickness as shown above. This limit should not have the most impact on results so the default value is 1000m (it will not limit movement).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Modification Phase====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case of Lagrangian evolution the grid is deformed at each time step. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First a new estimation of SZZ is computed. Starting at the top layer, the displacement of each face is estimated using the last vertical velocity computed. And the new value of SZZ is evaluated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new values of SZZ are tested to check if they are within the maximum deformation allowed for the above and below cells of that face and corrected if not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end, is tested if the bottom layer (the last one to be processed) is estimated with a thickness lower than the minimum. Two options are evaluated testing if the water column height is lower than the sum of the layers minimum thichnesses:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#1 if yes, then the option is to put all the layers with an average thichness (water column / number of layers)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#2 if not, then minimum thicknesses are set from bottom to top until a cell has tickhness greater than its minimum&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The above processes are not dependent on vertical velocity (try to avoid thickness lower than user assigned) and can lead to stability problems. If that happens try to use more loose compression and expansion parameters (increase MINEVOLVELAYERTHICKNESS) and the process itself will be able to evolve to lower thicknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the final values of SZZ all the geometric properties are computed (distances, areas and volumes) and the vertical fluxes between cells are corrected to account for grid deformation (in ModuleHydrodynamic).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bathymetry consistency diagnostic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vertical discretization is imposed and the bathymetry is chosen, the bottom layer can yield stability problems when using shaved cells. You can have very thin bottom cell next to a very wide bottom cell. To diagnose the existence of such problematic cells, a [[geometry diagnostic]] tool was developed.&lt;br /&gt;

====Domains Definition with Lagrangian Method====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Lagrangian method was changed in May 2013 but old Lagrangian domains will work without any keyword changes because MOHID will adapt and the domain will be changed from Lagrangian to Sigma or Cartesian depending on INITIALIZATION_METHOD keyword and will have Lagrangian process active. The user will just be warned that the Lagrangian domain is deprecated and tell about the new keyword to use in future projects.&lt;br /&gt;
The new definition is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;MOHID is programmed in ANSI FORTRAN 95 using an [[Object oriented approach|object oriented approach]] and [[Modules|hierarchical structure]] which enables consisting of several [[Modules|modules]] to develop several numerical models and [[Mohid Support Tools|support tools]] with a high level of code re-use. To this structure we call [[Mohid Framework]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the high number of developers programming in MOHID, several [[Programming guidelines|programming guidelines]] have been defined in order to [[Changing the code|change the code]] in a straighforward, systematic and sustentable way. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID is licensed under GPL and the code can be downloaded from the download area. Currently, MOHID has been [[Compiling|compiled]] and run under [[Supported architectures|several architectures]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Program==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID models have a main program that is responsible for starting the computation, calling the Main Module Constructor, updating time and calling the Main Module Modifier and after the time has come to final step, calling the Main Module Destructor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Modules==&lt;br /&gt;
The Main Module is the responsible for calling the construction, modify and destruction of all others. In case of MOHID Land is also the resposible for exchaging information between MOHID Land Modules. In case of MOHID Water there are Interface Modules created for this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every Module is responsible to solve specific processes and has the following structure:&lt;br /&gt;
 Constructor where the data files are read and matrixes are created and initiaalized. This is called only once at the construction phase.&lt;br /&gt;
 Modifier that is called each time the time changes and is resposible for updating the matrixes for the new time step.&lt;br /&gt;
 Destructor that is where all the matrixes are released and connections between modules destroyed. This is called only once afte the simulation time is finished.&lt;br /&gt;
 Selector that is how other modules can get the matrixes values from the Module&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sequence of Call==&lt;br /&gt;
The first phase is the construction phase and the Main Program constructor calls the Main Module consstructor that calls the other Modules constructors (one at a time, the next is only called when the last has finished). On each Module all the routines inside the constructor are called, one by one, in sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When all the Modules are constructed, is the Main Program Modifier that starts and the time starts and it calls the Main Module tath calls the other Modules modifiers. Once again they are called in sequence and only one finishes the other starts.&lt;br /&gt;
When all the Modules have finished the fist time step Modifier, the Main Program updates time for the next time and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When all the time steps have been done, the Main Program calls the Main Program Destrutor that calls each Module Destructor...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Routines==&lt;br /&gt;
Each Module has a set of routines that are the responsible for the work done. The routines that are called in the Constructor are only called onde at the start of the model when the time was not yet started and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Variables==&lt;br /&gt;
The variales defined inside each routine are only local variales and are only accessible inside the routine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The variables that start by Me%... are global variables that are accesible by all routines. The Me%.. is defined at the start of the files by the Types and all the types exist to organize variables by type or origin. When a Type is referenced inside another type it becomes a subtype of the first type (e.g. Me%Type1%Type2%...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Programming==&lt;br /&gt;
To add stuff to the model, the user needs to be aware of the above structure and how is the sequence of calls and to add stuff needs to add routines or change routines by adding variables (local and/or global).&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the referred rules for programming in MOHID!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The user has at his diposition the two basic features that exist in every programming language:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;do loops&amp;quot; that loop trough the matrixes to compute work for each cell, or loop trough blocks for example when readng data files&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;if statements&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;select case&amp;quot; to distinguish betwwen options&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation Model handles information about vegetation cover and interacts with atmosphere and soil properties.&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation dynamics can be handled by the model in two different manners: i) reading from file (time serie, hdf, grid); ii) using a vegetation growth model.&lt;br /&gt;
The first option is the previous formulation where LAI and root depth properties are provided by user and water uptake is simulated. The second option uses a SWAT based vegetation growth model and plant biomass, LAI, nutrient content and nutrient uptake are explicitly simulated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SWAT vegetation growth model uses the concepts from EPIC crop model (Izaurralde et al., 2006) of radiation-use efficiency by which a fraction of daily photosynthetically active radiation is intercepted by the plant canopy and converted into plant biomass. Gains in plant biomass are affected by vapor pressure deficits and atmospheric CO2 concentration. Stress indices for water, temperature, nitrogen, phosphorus and aeration are calculated using the value of the most severe of these stresses to reduce potential plant growth and crop yield. Nutrient uptake is done based on plant target (optimal content) and availability in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Concepts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Property ===&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation model was redesigned to be structured in properties instead of vegetation types.&lt;br /&gt;
The advantage of this structure is that in the input file the number of properties is fixed (no matter the complexity of the vegetation cover) and input can be preprocessed for the entire grid (see How to pre-process vegetation).&lt;br /&gt;
In the previous structure, applications with several vegetation covers could rapidly increase input file lines and input errors. More over as they are not graphed in time serie or hdf the visual inspection could take longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See the list of allowed [[properties names]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Agricultural Practices ===&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation module was also restructured in a way that what user gives for each cell is wath is the agricultural practice present (constant, variable in space, variable in space and time (rotations) and a file where the agricultural practices are defined as a recipe where the user can add or delete ingredients or actions. &lt;br /&gt;
In this way the user may manage its agricultural practices adding an unlimited number of fertilization or pesticide applications, change planting and harvest dates, change the crop used or create new adapted agricultural practices for a general land use or go to the detail for each specific farm management actions. For more details see the examples at the end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Main processes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===If Vegetation is not used ===&lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses not to include vegetation in basin data file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
 VEGETATION : 0&lt;br /&gt;
then transpiration is not computed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the user may want to still evaporate water from soil surface. To do so, evapotranspiration must be enabled in basin data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
and reference evapotranspiration defined (property standard). In this case all the reference evapotranspiration will be in the form of potential evaporation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===If Vegetation is readed from file ===&lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses to include vegetation in basin file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
 VEGETATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
then transpiration is computed. &lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses the option to simulate vegetation giving properties evolution from file (hdf5, grid), than leaf area index, root depth, specific leaf storage and crop coefficient properties must be given. This option correspond to the old formulation and, yet, only water uptake is simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Active Processes====&lt;br /&gt;
If vegetation is read from file then water uptake and nutrient uptake may be modelled. Nutrient uptake can only be modelled if water uptake is.&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_STRESS              : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects water uptake&lt;br /&gt;
 NITROGEN_STRESS           : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects nitrogen uptake&lt;br /&gt;
 PHOSPHORUS_STRESS         : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects phosphorus uptake&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Uptake====&lt;br /&gt;
This process corresponds to plant transpiration taking water from soil. &lt;br /&gt;
Evapotranspiration must be enabled in basin data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The user may want to compute a global potential evapotranspiration or separate potential transpiration (in plants along the root depth) and potential evaporation (on soil surface) based on leaf area index. This option is defined in basin data file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION_METHOD: 1/2 (1-Global Evapotranspiration; 2-Transpiration and Evaporation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To use the read from file approach use the keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_UPTAKE_METHOD : 1  (1- according to root profile; 2-SWAT based (exponential and tresholds)&lt;br /&gt;
Which means that the method for transpiration is the one from the formulation previous to the vegetation growth model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential water uptake (potential evapotranspiration/transpiration) is distributed in depth (for each layer) according to root distribution with keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 ROOT_PROFILE : 1/2 (1-Triangular; 2-Constant)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water Uptake (actual uptake) computation takes in potential uptake and limits it to plant and soil constraints. Plant constraints can be done with two options: i) with Feddes formulation or ii) with van Genuchten curve with the keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_UPTAKE_STRESS_METHOD: 1/2 (1-Feddes; 2-van Genuchten)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Feddes formulation has plant tresholds. This means that plant has soil pressure heads tresholds where uptake is optimum and soil heads (under field capacity and below wilting point) where no uptake occurs. Between optimum and no transpiration linear interpolation is done:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Tp = Factor * PotentialTranspiration&lt;br /&gt;
where Tp is Effective transpiration in layer, Factor is the stress factor achieved for the layer and PotentialTranspiration is the PotentialTranspiration computed for the layer.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PlantFeddes.PNG|thumb|center|200px|Plant tresholds for water stress in Feddes model]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* van Genuchten formulation is an empirical curve also dependent on pressure head:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 Insert Equation for van Genuchten&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water uptake is then limited to available water in soil (above residual content).&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally water uptake can be limited with soil velocity with the following keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 LIMIT_TRANSP_WATER_VEL : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil pressure heads tresholds must be provided for each vegetation type in the vegetation file (example below):&lt;br /&gt;

 FEDDES_H4                 : -30.0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endvegetationtype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Nutrient Uptake====&lt;br /&gt;
Nutrient uptake may be done only using the formulation where the uptake mass is obtained from flow * concentration in layer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Properties====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also Properties '''leaf area index''', '''root depth''', '''specific leaf storage''' and '''crop coefficent''' must be provided (from file or constant values).  This must comply with fillmatrix standards under the '''&amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;''' and '''&amp;lt;endpropery&amp;gt;''' blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''leaf area index'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Constant value, time serie, grid or HDF. To create one grid/hdf from various timeseries for different vegetation types see [[FillMatrix]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''potential leaf area index'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Usually used constant value but applies the same as previous properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''crop coefficient'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Usually used constant value but applies the same as previous properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== If Vegetation is explicitly simulated - Growth Model ===&lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses to include vegetation in basin file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
 VEGETATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
then transpiration is computed. &lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses the option to simulate explicitly vegetation, than plant biomass, root biomass, LAI, canopy height and nutrient content, are simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Active Processes====&lt;br /&gt;
If vegetation growth model is active then more options may be modelled. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_STRESS              : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects water limitation on plant growth&lt;br /&gt;
 NITROGEN_STRESS           : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects nitrogen limitation on plant growth&lt;br /&gt;
 PHOSPHORUS_STRESS         : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects phosphorus limitation on plant growth&lt;br /&gt;
 TEMPERATURE_STRESS        : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects temperature limitation on plant growth&lt;br /&gt;
 ADJUST_RUE_FOR_CO2        : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects CO2 limitation on plant growth&lt;br /&gt;
 ADJUST_RUE_FOR_VPD        : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects Vapour Pressure Deficit limitation on plant growth&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 GRAZING                   : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects grazing&lt;br /&gt;
 MANAGEMENT                : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects management&lt;br /&gt;
 DORMANCY                  : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects dormancy&lt;br /&gt;
 FERTILIZATION             : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects fertilization     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Uptake====&lt;br /&gt;
This process corresponds to plant transpiration taking water from soil. &lt;br /&gt;
Evapotranspiration must be enabled in basin data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
The user may want to compute a global potential evapotranspiration or separate potential transpiration (in plants along the root depth) and potential evaporation (on soil surface) based on leaf area index. This option is defined in basin data file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION_METHOD: 1/2 (1-Global Evapotranspiration; 2-Transpiration and Evaporation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To use the vegetation growth model approach use the keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_UPTAKE_METHOD : 2 (1- TP according to root profile; 2-SWAT based (TP exponential and tresholds))&lt;br /&gt;
Which means that the method for transpiration is the one from the vegetation growth model formulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential water uptake (potential evapotranspiration/transpiration) is distributed in depth according to a exponential distribution:&lt;br /&gt;
 Insert potential water uptake distribution equation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water Uptake (actual uptake) computation takes in potential uptake and limits it to soil constraints. consisting in water content in soil:&lt;br /&gt;
 Insert low water content reduction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Insert high water content reduction (to do)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Nutrient Uptake====&lt;br /&gt;
Nutrient uptake may be done in two ways, either using the SWAT formulation where it is disconnected from water uptake or using a new formulation that the uptake mass is obtained from flow * concentration in layer.&lt;br /&gt;
 NUTRIENT_UPTAKE_METHOD    : 1/2    !1- uptake is conc * water uptake; 2- SWAT based (independent of water uptake)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, nutrient stress may be computed either using SWAT formulation (relation to optimal and effective plant content) or using a new formulation where is the ratio between effective and optimal uptake (following water stress).&lt;br /&gt;
 NUTRIENT_STRESS_METHOD    : 1/2      !1- effective/optimal; 2- SWAT based&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimal nutrient uptake is computed from plant optimal content and effective content&lt;br /&gt;
 Equation for optimal nutrient content&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, optimal nutrient uptake is distributed in depth similar to that of water&lt;br /&gt;
 Equation for optimal uptake distribution with depth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil constraints are then taken into account because uptake is only allowed if enough mass exists in layer&lt;br /&gt;
 Effective Uptake = min (Optimal Uptake, Available content in soil)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Properties====&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''leaf area index'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the property block choose:&lt;br /&gt;

after senescence&lt;br /&gt;
 NewLAI = LastLAIBeforeSenescence * LAIDecline - LAIGrazed - LAIRemovedInHarvest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''potential leaf area index'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This property is not simulated by the model so it has to be read. Constant value, time serie, grid or HDF. To create one grid/hdf from various timeseries for different vegetation types see [[FillMatrix]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Other Features ==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to generate the vegetation grid===&lt;br /&gt;
A constant value, timeserie, vegetation grid or vegetation hdf may be given.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of grid:&lt;br /&gt;
One possible option is to extract info from land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and vegetation  ID.&lt;br /&gt;
In vegetation data file define the just created grid:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;begin_AgriculturalPractices&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\General Data\Other\Vegetation\Vegetation.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;end_AgriculturalPractices&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In the case of HDF:&lt;br /&gt;
To create and HDF with the agriculture practices ID's that will appear in the cells the [[FillMatrix]] tool is used where the agricultural practices that have rotation are defined by timserie in stations block and the agricultural practices that do not have are defined by a constant value.&lt;br /&gt;
Also in the block the created HDF fiedl has to be given so that model knows in what HDF field look for the ID's.&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;begin_AgriculturalPractices&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 FILE_IN_TIME              : HDF&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\General Data\Other\Vegetation\Rotation\AgricPractID.hdf5&lt;br /&gt;
 HDF_FIELD_NAME            : AgricPractID&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;end_AgriculturalPractices&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Define vegetation properties===&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation properties may be read or simulated according to the below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This vegetation properties have to be given (not simulated):&lt;br /&gt;
*specific leaf storage&lt;br /&gt;
*crop coefficient&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This vegetation properties may be given or simulated:&lt;br /&gt;
*leaf area index&lt;br /&gt;
*root depth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This vegetation properties may be simulated:&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant biomass&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant nitrogen&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant phosphorus&lt;br /&gt;
*root biomass&lt;br /&gt;
*canopy height&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Properties are defined accordingly with [[Module_FillMatrix|Module FillMatrix]] standards in the block:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

EVOLUTION keyword value : 1 means that is not simulated but read. In other end EVOLUTION keyword value : 2 means that the property is simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Simulation Options====&lt;br /&gt;
If you decide not to use vegetation growth model (and instead, the old formulation) than the only needed properties (values must be provided) are: &lt;br /&gt;
*specific leaf storage&lt;br /&gt;
*crop coefficient&lt;br /&gt;
*leaf area index&lt;br /&gt;
*root depth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the other end, if you decide to use vegetation growh model these properties may be used (model simulates them)&lt;br /&gt;
*leaf area index&lt;br /&gt;
*root depth&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant biomass&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant nitrogen (if simulating nitrogen)&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant phosphorus (if simulating phosphorus)&lt;br /&gt;
*root biomass&lt;br /&gt;
*canopy height&lt;br /&gt;
 and only:&lt;br /&gt;
*specific leaf storage&lt;br /&gt;
*crop coefficient&lt;br /&gt;
need to have values defined for the simulation. All other properties will be simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to pre-process vegetation properties ===&lt;br /&gt;
Fill Matrix was updated to fill grids without interpolation. Instead of space stations (X,Y coordinate) user has to provide a vegetation grid with ID's and the values assigned to each ID (time serie or single value). Fill Matrix reads ID in the grid and searches for the value to fill the cell. If cells are not filled error message is sent.&lt;br /&gt;
See [[FillMatrix]] for more details&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fertilization ===&lt;br /&gt;
Fertilization can be defined in any calendar day, specify a duration or use autofertilization (see keywords). All the events can use fertilizers from a user fertilizer database.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Grazing ===&lt;br /&gt;
Grazing can be defined in any calendar day and specify a duration (see keywords) and the biomass is taken from the plant and a percentage related to not eaten material is placed on soil first layer as organic material (just as plat root along root depth when plant dies)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was introduced also the manure option that the user can specify a fraction of the effective grazed biomass (the fraction effectively eate by the animal) that is going to be converted to manure biomass. This will occur in the same day as grazing and in the same cell. If this is not enough for describing manure reality the user has the option to introduce fertilization events (continuous or single events) to mimic the effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the manure biomass the user can also specify a nitrogen and phosphorus fraction (if the C:N:P ratios are known). If the user does nto specify them, the nitrogen and phosphorus ratios in the plant are used (as the animal digestion did not changed ratios).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To separate between urea and organic nitrogen from manure nitrogen, an additional parameter can be specified (urea fraction in manure nitrogen). By default this parameters is zero so all the manure nitrogen is organic nitrogen that will be placed on soil first layer. Phosphorus manure is only treated as organic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keywords for grazing and manure that were added are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 GRAZING_BIOMASS                   : 70.       !grazed biomass (kh/ha.day)&lt;br /&gt;

 GRAZING_MANURE_NFRACTION          : -99       !fraction of manure biomass that is N (0-1). If not &amp;gt; 0 will be the&lt;br /&gt;
                                                plant N fraction (animal digestion did not changed ratio)&lt;br /&gt;
 GRAZING_MANURE_NUREAFRACTION      : 0.0       !fraction of manure N that is Urea (0-1). The remainder will be organic N&lt;br /&gt;
 GRAZING_MANURE_PFRACTION          : -99       !fraction of manure biomass that is P (0-1). If not &amp;gt; 0 will be the&lt;br /&gt;
                                                plant P fraction (animal digestion did not changed ratio)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation Model handles information about vegetation cover and interacts with atmosphere and soil properties.&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation dynamics can be handled by the model in two different manners: i) reading from file (time serie, hdf, grid); ii) using a vegetation growth model.&lt;br /&gt;
The first option is the previous formulation where LAI and root depth properties are provided by user and water uptake is simulated. The second option uses a SWAT based vegetation growth model and plant biomass, LAI, nutrient content and nutrient uptake are explicitly simulated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SWAT vegetation growth model uses the concepts from EPIC crop model (Izaurralde et al., 2006) of radiation-use efficiency by which a fraction of daily photosynthetically active radiation is intercepted by the plant canopy and converted into plant biomass. Gains in plant biomass are affected by vapor pressure deficits and atmospheric CO2 concentration. Stress indices for water, temperature, nitrogen, phosphorus and aeration are calculated using the value of the most severe of these stresses to reduce potential plant growth and crop yield. Nutrient uptake is done based on plant target (optimal content) and availability in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Concepts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Property ===&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation model was redesigned to be structured in properties instead of vegetation types.&lt;br /&gt;
The advantage of this structure is that in the input file the number of properties is fixed (no matter the complexity of the vegetation cover) and input can be preprocessed for the entire grid (see How to pre-process vegetation).&lt;br /&gt;
In the previous structure, applications with several vegetation covers could rapidly increase input file lines and input errors. More over as they are not graphed in time serie or hdf the visual inspection could take longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See the list of allowed [[properties names]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Agricultural Practices ===&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation module was also restructured in a way that what user gives for each cell is wath is the agricultural practice present (constant, variable in space, variable in space and time (rotations) and a file where the agricultural practices are defined as a recipe where the user can add or delete ingredients or actions. &lt;br /&gt;
In this way the user may manage its agricultural practices adding an unlimited number of fertilization or pesticide applications, change planting and harvest dates, change the crop used or create new adapted agricultural practices for a general land use or go to the detail for each specific farm management actions. For more details see the examples at the end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Main processes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===If Vegetation is not used ===&lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses not to include vegetation in basin data file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
 VEGETATION : 0&lt;br /&gt;
then transpiration is not computed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the user may want to still evaporate water from soil surface. To do so, evapotranspiration must be enabled in basin data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
and reference evapotranspiration defined (property standard). In this case all the reference evapotranspiration will be in the form of potential evaporation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===If Vegetation is readed from file ===&lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses to include vegetation in basin file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
 VEGETATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
then transpiration is computed. &lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses the option to simulate vegetation giving properties evolution from file (hdf5, grid), than leaf area index, root depth, specific leaf storage and crop coefficient properties must be given. This option correspond to the old formulation and, yet, only water uptake is simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Active Processes====&lt;br /&gt;
If vegetation is read from file then water uptake and nutrient uptake may be modelled. Nutrient uptake can only be modelled if water uptake is.&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_STRESS              : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects water uptake&lt;br /&gt;
 NITROGEN_STRESS           : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects nitrogen uptake&lt;br /&gt;
 PHOSPHORUS_STRESS         : 0/1     !Connects/disconnects phosphorus uptake&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Uptake====&lt;br /&gt;
This process corresponds to plant transpiration taking water from soil. &lt;br /&gt;
Evapotranspiration must be enabled in basin data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The user may want to compute a global potential evapotranspiration or separate potential transpiration (in plants along the root depth) and potential evaporation (on soil surface) based on leaf area index. This option is defined in basin data file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION_METHOD: 1/2 (1-Global Evapotranspiration; 2-Transpiration and Evaporation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To use the read from file approach use the keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_UPTAKE_METHOD : 1  (1- according to root profile; 2-SWAT based (exponential and tresholds)&lt;br /&gt;
Which means that the method for transpiration is the one from the formulation previous to the vegetation growth model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential water uptake (potential evapotranspiration/transpiration) is distributed in depth (for each layer) according to root distribution with keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 ROOT_PROFILE : 1/2 (1-Triangular; 2-Constant)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water Uptake (actual uptake) computation takes in potential uptake and limits it to plant and soil constraints. Plant constraints can be done with two options: i) with Feddes formulation or ii) with van Genuchten curve with the keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_UPTAKE_STRESS_METHOD: 1/2 (1-Feddes; 2-van Genuchten)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Feddes formulation has plant tresholds. This means that plant has soil pressure heads tresholds where uptake is optimum and soil heads (under field capacity and below wilting point) where no uptake occurs. Between optimum and no transpiration linear interpolation is done:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Tp = Factor * PotentialTranspiration&lt;br /&gt;
where Tp is Effective transpiration in layer, Factor is the stress factor achieved for the layer and PotentialTranspiration is the PotentialTranspiration computed for the layer.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PlantFeddes.PNG|thumb|center|200px|Plant tresholds for water stress in Feddes model]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* van Genuchten formulation is an empirical curve also dependent on pressure head:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 Insert Equation for van Genuchten&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water uptake is then limited to available water in soil (above residual content).&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally water uptake can be limited with soil velocity with the following keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 LIMIT_TRANSP_WATER_VEL : 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil pressure heads tresholds must be provided for each vegetation type in the vegetation file (example below):&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;endvegetationtype&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Nutrient Uptake====&lt;br /&gt;
Nutrient uptake may be done only using the formulation where the uptake mass is obtained from flow * concentration in layer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Also Properties '''leaf area index''', '''root depth''', '''specific leaf storage''' and '''crop coefficent''' must be provided (from file or constant values).  This must comply with fillmatrix standards under the '''&amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;''' and '''&amp;lt;endpropery&amp;gt;''' blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''leaf area index'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Constant value, time serie, grid or HDF. To create one grid/hdf from various timeseries for different vegetation types see [[FillMatrix]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''potential leaf area index'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''specific leaf storage'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Usually used constant value but applies the same as previous properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''crop coefficient'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Usually used constant value but applies the same as previous properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== If Vegetation is explicitly simulated - Growth Model ===&lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses to include vegetation in basin file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
 VEGETATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
then transpiration is computed. &lt;br /&gt;
If the user chooses the option to simulate explicitly vegetation, than plant biomass, root biomass, LAI, canopy height and nutrient content, are simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Active Processes====&lt;br /&gt;
If vegetation growth model is active then more options may be modelled. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Water Uptake====&lt;br /&gt;
This process corresponds to plant transpiration taking water from soil. &lt;br /&gt;
Evapotranspiration must be enabled in basin data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION : 1&lt;br /&gt;
The user may want to compute a global potential evapotranspiration or separate potential transpiration (in plants along the root depth) and potential evaporation (on soil surface) based on leaf area index. This option is defined in basin data file with the keyword:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 EVAPOTRANSPIRATION_METHOD: 1/2 (1-Global Evapotranspiration; 2-Transpiration and Evaporation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To use the vegetation growth model approach use the keyword in vegetation data file:&lt;br /&gt;
 WATER_UPTAKE_METHOD : 2 (1- TP according to root profile; 2-SWAT based (TP exponential and tresholds))&lt;br /&gt;
Which means that the method for transpiration is the one from the vegetation growth model formulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Potential water uptake (potential evapotranspiration/transpiration) is distributed in depth according to a exponential distribution:&lt;br /&gt;
 Insert potential water uptake distribution equation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water Uptake (actual uptake) computation takes in potential uptake and limits it to soil constraints. consisting in water content in soil:&lt;br /&gt;
 Insert low water content reduction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Insert high water content reduction (to do)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Nutrient Uptake====&lt;br /&gt;
Nutrient uptake may be done in two ways, either using the SWAT formulation where it is disconnected from water uptake or using a new formulation that the uptake mass is obtained from flow * concentration in layer.&lt;br /&gt;
 NUTRIENT_UPTAKE_METHOD    : 1/2    !1- uptake is conc * water uptake; 2- SWAT based (independent of water uptake)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, nutrient stress may be computed either using SWAT formulation (relation to optimal and effective plant content) or using a new formulation where is the ratio between effective and optimal uptake (following water stress).&lt;br /&gt;
 NUTRIENT_STRESS_METHOD    : 1/2      !1- effective/optimal; 2- SWAT based&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimal nutrient uptake is computed from plant optimal content and effective content&lt;br /&gt;
 Equation for optimal nutrient content&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, optimal nutrient uptake is distributed in depth similar to that of water&lt;br /&gt;
 Equation for optimal uptake distribution with depth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soil constraints are then taken into account because uptake is only allowed if enough mass exists in layer&lt;br /&gt;
 Effective Uptake = min (Optimal Uptake, Available content in soil)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Other Features ==&lt;br /&gt;
===How to generate the vegetation grid===&lt;br /&gt;
A constant value, timeserie, vegetation grid or vegetation hdf may be given.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of grid:&lt;br /&gt;
One possible option is to extract info from land use shape file. In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]-&amp;gt;[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and vegetation  ID.&lt;br /&gt;
In vegetation data file define the just created grid:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;begin_AgriculturalPractices&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : ASCII_FILE&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\General Data\Other\Vegetation\Vegetation.dat&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;end_AgriculturalPractices&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In the case of HDF:&lt;br /&gt;
To create and HDF with the agriculture practices ID's that will appear in the cells the [[FillMatrix]] tool is used where the agricultural practices that have rotation are defined by timserie in stations block and the agricultural practices that do not have are defined by a constant value.&lt;br /&gt;
Also in the block the created HDF fiedl has to be given so that model knows in what HDF field look for the ID's.&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;begin_AgriculturalPractices&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 FILE_IN_TIME              : HDF&lt;br /&gt;
 FILENAME                  : ..\General Data\Other\Vegetation\Rotation\AgricPractID.hdf5&lt;br /&gt;
 HDF_FIELD_NAME            : AgricPractID&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;end_AgriculturalPractices&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Define vegetation properties===&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetation properties may be read or simulated according to the below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This vegetation properties have to be given (not simulated):&lt;br /&gt;
*specific leaf storage&lt;br /&gt;
*crop coefficient&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This vegetation properties may be given or simulated:&lt;br /&gt;

 BOX_TIME_SERIE            : 0    &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EVOLUTION keyword value : 1 means that is not simulated but read. In other end EVOLUTION keyword value : 2 means that the property is simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Simulation Options====&lt;br /&gt;
If you decide not to use vegetation growth model (and instead, the old formulation) than the only needed properties (values must be provided) are: &lt;br /&gt;
*specific leaf storage&lt;br /&gt;
*crop coefficient&lt;br /&gt;
*leaf area index&lt;br /&gt;
*root depth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the other end, if you decide to use vegetation growh model these properties may be used (model simulates them)&lt;br /&gt;
*leaf area index&lt;br /&gt;
*root depth&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant biomass&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant nitrogen (if simulating nitrogen)&lt;br /&gt;
*total plant phosphorus (if simulating phosphorus)&lt;br /&gt;
*root biomass&lt;br /&gt;
*canopy height&lt;br /&gt;
 and only:&lt;br /&gt;
*specific leaf storage&lt;br /&gt;
*crop coefficient&lt;br /&gt;
need to have values defined for the simulation. All other properties will be simulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to pre-process vegetation properties ===&lt;br /&gt;
Fill Matrix was updated to fill grids without interpolation. Instead of space stations (X,Y coordinate) user has to provide a vegetation grid with ID's and the values assigned to each ID (time serie or single value). Fill Matrix reads ID in the grid and searches for the value to fill the cell. If cells are not filled error message is sent.&lt;br /&gt;
See [[FillMatrix]] for more details&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Reservoirs allows to compute reservois dynamic that change river flows and concentrations. Module Reservoirs recieves flows and concentrations from Module Drainage Network and gives flows and concentrations to the same module.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
The reservoirs do not have a explicit geometry and are located in a given Drainage Network node (that will interact flows and concetrations with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hydrology===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reservoirs minimum parameter is maximum volume (keyword MAX_VOLUME) and optionally minimum volume (keyword MIN_VOLUME, default is 0.0). Below minimum volume the reservoir does not discharge and above maximum volume the reservoir discharges the remainder so that volume does not get higher than maximum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Inflows====&lt;br /&gt;
The inflows are imposed by Drainage Network at the nodes where the reservoir are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Discharges====&lt;br /&gt;
Via Module Discharges any discharge can be imposed (positive e.g. WWTP, or negative e.g. water abstraction for irigation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Surface Fluxes====&lt;br /&gt;
Surface fluxes as precipitation and evaporation are not computed yet but routines already exist for that purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Outflows====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outflows can be computed by defining several options:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Outflow Unmanaged Reservoir'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1)&lt;br /&gt;
If the maximum volume is the only information available, the reservoir will not discharge untill complete full and there after will discharge the volume above maximum divided by time step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)&lt;br /&gt;
There is the option to define unmanaged reservoir as a weir (by keyword IS_WEIR : 1) and the reservoir outflow is defined by the weir equation (also defined in ModuleDischarges). Then the crest elevation and widht need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Outflow Managed Reservoirs'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1)&lt;br /&gt;
If beside the maximum volume only an environmental flow (keyword MIN_OUTFLOW) is defined, then above minimum volume the environmental flow will be discharged until it reaches the maximum volume and there after will discharge the volume above maximum divided by time step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)&lt;br /&gt;
If an operation curve is given (keyword OPERATION_TYPE), on the form of:&lt;br /&gt;
# level - outflow                                                - OPERATION_TYPE : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# level - outflow = percentage of inflow                         - OPERATION_TYPE : 2&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow                             - OPERATION_TYPE : 3&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow = percentage of inflow      - OPERATION_TYPE : 4&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow = percentage of max outflow - OPERATION_TYPE : 5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
then the curve is read and the outflow computed based on actual reservoir volume or level. The outflow can be given directly from volume or level or the curve can define a percentage of inflow, where the outflow will be a percentage of the inflow at that instant or a percentage of maximum outflow (usually at maximum volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curves are given by &amp;lt;&amp;lt;beginoperation&amp;gt;&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;&amp;lt;endoperation&amp;gt;&amp;gt; block wher first column is level (elevation) or percentage of reservoir volume and second column is outflow (m3/s) or percentage of inflow or percentage of max outflow (0-1) and between defined points the model linearly interpolates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If at any given instant the volume/level of the reservoir is below the lowest point of curves, it will impose environmental flow if available or zero.&lt;br /&gt;
If at any given instant the volume/level of the reservoir is above the highest point of curves, it will impose the last point outflow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Reminder:''' if level is used an accumulated volumes curve is required (volume - elevation)) through a &amp;lt;&amp;lt;beginaccvolumecurve&amp;gt;&amp;gt;    &amp;lt;&amp;lt;endaccvolumecurve&amp;gt;&amp;gt; block where first column is reservoir volume and second is elevation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) &lt;br /&gt;
There is also the option to impose the outflow (e.g. from measured data) where this is done via Module Discharges but the discharge needs to be negative and a keyword in discharge present (IS_OUTFLOW)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This management option will be given priority and will be used even that environmental flow or operation curves are defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Properties===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concentrations are computed based on two available methods (keyword PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Instant Mixing                            - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# Mixing occurs at retention time           - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The instant mixing method computes the new concentration as the mixing in all reservoir would occur in the given time step being a mass balance between the existing and the entering mass divided by total volume&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second method uses the first as the target concentration and computes the concentration difference and the reservoir retention time (inflow /reservoir volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the retention time is lower than the time step then the new concentration is the target concentration defined by instant mixing method. If not, the new concentration will be the old plus a percentage of the difference. And the percentage is given by time step / retention time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Reservoirs allows to compute reservois dynamic that change river flows and concentrations. Module Reservoirs recieves flows and concentrations from Module Drainage Network and gives flows and concentrations to the same module.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
The reservoirs do not have a explicit geometry and are located in a given Drainage Network node (that will interact flows and concetrations with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hydrology===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reservoirs minimum parameter is maximum volume (keyword MAX_VOLUME) and optionally minimum volume (keyword MIN_VOLUME, default is 0.0). Below minimum volume the reservoir does not discharge and above maximum volume the reservoir discharges the remainder so that volume does not get higher than maximum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Inflows====&lt;br /&gt;
The inflows are imposed by Drainage Network at the nodes where the reservoir are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Discharges====&lt;br /&gt;
Via Module Discharges any discharge can be imposed (positive e.g. WWTP, or negative e.g. water abstraction for irigation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Surface Fluxes====&lt;br /&gt;
Surface fluxes as precipitation and evaporation are not computed yet but routines already exist for that purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Outflows====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outflows can be computed by defining several options:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Outflow Unmanaged Reservoir'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1)&lt;br /&gt;
If the maximum volume is the only information available, the reservoir will not discharge untill complete full and there after will discharge the volume above maximum divided by time step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)&lt;br /&gt;
There is the option to define unmanaged reservoir as a weir (by keyword IS_WEIR : 1) and the reservoir outflow is defined by the weir equation (also defined in ModuleDischarges). Then the crest elevation and widht need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Outflow Managed Reservoirs'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1)&lt;br /&gt;
If beside the maximum volume only an environmental flow (keyword MIN_OUTFLOW) is defined, then above minimum volume the environmental flow will be discharged until it reaches the maximum volume and there after will discharge the volume above maximum divided by time step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)&lt;br /&gt;
If an operation curve is given (keyword OPERATION_TYPE), on the form of:&lt;br /&gt;
# level - outflow                                                - OPERATION_TYPE : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# level - outflow = percentage of inflow                         - OPERATION_TYPE : 2&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow                             - OPERATION_TYPE : 3&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow = percentage of inflow      - OPERATION_TYPE : 4&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow = percentage of max outflow - OPERATION_TYPE : 5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
then the curve is read and the outflow computed based on actual reservoir volume or level. The outflow can be given directly from volume or level or the curve can define a percentage of inflow, where the outflow will be a percentage of the inflow at that instant or a percentage of maximum outflow (usually at maximum volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curves are given by &amp;lt;&amp;lt;beginoperation&amp;gt;&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;&amp;lt;endoperation&amp;gt;&amp;gt; block wher first column is level (elevation) or percentage of reservoir volume and second column is outflow (m3/s) or percentage of inflow or percentage of max outflow (0-1) and between defined points the model linearly interpolates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If at any given instant the volume/level of the reservoir is below the lowest point of curves, it will impose environmental flow if available or zero.&lt;br /&gt;
If at any given instant the volume/level of the reservoir is above the highest point of curves, it will impose the last point outflow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Reminder:''' if level is used an accumulated volumes curve is required (volume - elevation)) through a &amp;lt;&amp;lt;beginaccvolumecurve&amp;gt;&amp;gt;    &amp;lt;&amp;lt;endaccvolumecurve&amp;gt;&amp;gt; block where first column is reservoir volume and second is elevation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) &lt;br /&gt;
There is also the option to impose the outflow (e.g. from measured data) where this is done via Module Discharges but the discharge needs to be negative and a keyword in discharge present (IS_OUTFLOW)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This management option will be given priority and will be used even that environmental flow or operation curves are defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Properties===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concentrations are computed based on two available methods (keyword PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Instant Mixing                            - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# Mixing occurs at retention time           - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The instant mixing method computes the new concentration as the mixing in all reservoir would occur in the given time step being a mass balance between the existing and the entering mass divided by total volume&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second method uses the first as the target concentration and computes the concentration difference and the reservoir retention time (inflow /reservoir volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the retention time is lower than the time step then the new concentration is the target concentration defined by instant mixing method. If not, the new concentration will be the old plus a percentage of the difference. And the percentage is given by time step / retention time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Reservoirs allows to compute reservois dynamic that change river flows and concentrations. Module Reservoirs recieves flows and concentrations from Module Drainage Network and gives flows and concentrations to the same module.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
The reservoirs do not have a explicit geometry and are located in a given Drainage Network node (that will interact flows and concetrations with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hydrology===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reservoirs minimum parameter is maximum volume (keyword MAX_VOLUME) and optionally minimum volume (keyword MIN_VOLUME, default is 0.0). Below minimum volume the reservoir does not discharge and above maximum volume the reservoir discharges the remainder so that volume does not get higher than maximum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Inflows====&lt;br /&gt;
The inflows are imposed by Drainage Network at the nodes where the reservoir are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Discharges====&lt;br /&gt;
Via Module Discharges any discharge can be imposed (positive e.g. WWTP, or negative e.g. water abstraction for irigation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Surface Fluxes====&lt;br /&gt;
Surface fluxes as precipitation and evaporation are not computed yet but routines already exist for that purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Outflows====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outflows can be computed by defining several options:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Outflow Unmanaged Reservoir'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1)&lt;br /&gt;
If the maximum volume is the only information available, the reservoir will not discharge untill complete full and there after will discharge the volume above maximum divided by time step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)&lt;br /&gt;
There is the option to define unmanaged reservoir as a weir (by keyword IS_WEIR : 1) and the reservoir outflow is defined by the weir equation (also defined in ModuleDischarges). Then the crest elevation and widht need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Outflow Managed Reservoirs'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1)&lt;br /&gt;
If beside the maximum volume only an environmental flow (keyword MIN_OUTFLOW) is defined, then above minimum volume the environmental flow will be discharged until it reaches the maximum volume and there after will discharge the volume above maximum divided by time step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)&lt;br /&gt;
If an operation curve is given (keyword OPERATION_TYPE), on the form of:&lt;br /&gt;
# level - outflow                                                - OPERATION_TYPE : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# level - outflow = percentage of inflow                         - OPERATION_TYPE : 2&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow                             - OPERATION_TYPE : 3&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow = percentage of inflow      - OPERATION_TYPE : 4&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow = percentage of max outflow - OPERATION_TYPE : 5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
then the curve is read and the outflow computed based on actual reservoir volume or level. The outflow can be given directly from volume or level or the curve can define a percentage of inflow, where the outflow will be a percentage of the inflow at that instant or a percentage of maximum outflow (usually at maximum volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curves are given by &amp;lt;&amp;lt;beginoperation&amp;gt;&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;&amp;lt;endoperation&amp;gt;&amp;gt; block wher first column is level (elevation) or percentage of reservoir volume and second column is outflow (m3/s) or percentage of inflow or percentage of max outflow (0-1) and between defined points the model linearly interpolates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If at any given instant the volume/level of the reservoir is below the lowest point of curves, it will impose environmental flow if available or zero.&lt;br /&gt;
If at any given instant the volume/level of the reservoir is above the highest point of curves, it will impose the last point outflow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Reminder:''' if level is used an accumulated volumes curve is required (volume - elevation)) through a &amp;lt;&amp;lt;beginaccvolumecurve&amp;gt;&amp;gt;    &amp;lt;&amp;lt;endaccvolumecurve&amp;gt;&amp;gt; block where first column is reservoir volume and second is elevation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) &lt;br /&gt;
There is also the option to impose the outflow (e.g. from measured data) where this is done via Module Discharges but the discharge needs to be negative and a keyword in discharge present (IS_OUTFLOW)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This management option will be given priority and will be used even that environmental flow or operation curves are defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Properties===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concentrations are computed based on two available methods (keyword PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Instant Mixing                            - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# Mixing occurs at retention time           - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The instant mixing method computes the new concentration as the mixing in all reservoir would occur in the given time step being a mass balance between the existing and the entering mass divided by total volume&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second method uses the first as the target concentration and computes the concentration difference and the reservoir retention time (inflow /reservoir volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the retention time is lower than the time step then the new concentration is the target concentration defined by instant mixing method. If not, the new concentration will be the old plus a percentage of the difference. And the percentage is given by time step / retention time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Concentrations are computed based on two available methods (keyword PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Instant Mixing                            - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# Mixing occurs at retention time           - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The instant mixing method computes the new concentration as the mixing in all reservoir would occur in the given time step being a mass balance between the existing and the entering mass divided by total volume&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second method uses the first as the target concentration and computes the concentration difference and the reservoir retention time (inflow /reservoir volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the retention time is lower than the time step then the new concentration is the target concentration defined by instant mixing method. If not, the new concentration will be the old plus a percentage of the difference. And the percentage is given by time step / retention time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is a guide on configuring [[MOHID Water]] new way of defining vectorial properties.&lt;br /&gt;
And a recall on angle properties computation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Referentials===&lt;br /&gt;
Input Vectorial properties in MOHID have a X (zonal component) and Y (meridian component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Input Angle properties in MOHID in ModuleAtmosphere and ModuleWaves have nautical referential (0º is wind or wave from N towards S, 90º is from East towards West and so on).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID computes fluxes using components in cell referential (aligned with U and V faces) and angles are also refered to cell trigonometric circle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Old Way of definig vectorial properties and angle propeties==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID treated until now (Dez 2015) vectorial properties as two scalar properties, defined separately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This an example of wind velocity X and wind velocity Y in Atmosphere_X.dat file until now:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity X&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity X&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : CONSTANT&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity Y&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity Y&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : CONSTANT&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This approach is straightforward to implement as Module FillMatrix treats all properties the same, reads the options, fills the matrix and returns to calling modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However it creates one problem: how to deal with vectorial transformation from user input referential to the MOHID cell referential (if grid rotation and distortion exists).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution used until now was that each module would do its own transformations what could lead to conversion errors or lack of conversions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same issue occurs with angle properties where each module would do its own transformations what could lead to same problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The New Way of definig vectorial properties==&lt;br /&gt;
The New age has arrived!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only vectorial propeties have changed the input format. Angle properties are scalar properties so in terms of input there was no change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to avoid the descentralization and repetition of the transformation process around modules, the vectorial property concept was created in Module FillMatrix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And both vectorial and angle tranformation are made inside Module FillMatrix and the resulting matrixes returned to modules are always in MOHID cell referential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An example of the new vectorial input is in Module Atmosphere:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That replaces the two properties wind velocity X and wind velocity Y.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword DEFAULTVALUE can now read two or three components (if 3D property) istead of only one as before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the Input/Output conventions used by all Modules?===&lt;br /&gt;
Basically user inputs vectorial properties in zonal/meridional components and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves) and MOHID in all modules uses internaly MOHID cell referential given by Module FillMatrix (after transformation from user referential).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To write output each module call again Module FillMatrix to get the fields in user input referential. So input and output is always in the zonal/meridional components (vectorial) and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What vectorial properties does the new approach changes in terms of data file definition?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
#wind velocity X and wind velocity Y are now only defined by wind velocity property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module InterfaceWaterAir&lt;br /&gt;
#wind stress X and wind stress Y are now only defined by wind stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Waves&lt;br /&gt;
#radiation stress X and radiation stress Y are now only defined by radiation stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What kind of input type is allowed for the new vectorial properties?===&lt;br /&gt;
for now only constant, timeserie, ascii_file and hdf inputs are allowed. However new developments are welcome for other types of input.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How does ModuleFillMatrix now works?===&lt;br /&gt;
Module FillMatrix now behaves similarly as before where each property could have only one field of type time serie, ascii file, hdf. Now it can have more (two in 2D properties).&lt;br /&gt;
The Module FillMatrix searches how many components each property has and does the same old process on all of them, but saving the results in different fields (e.g. component X and Y).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modules that ask properties fields to fillmatrix also save information in different matrixes and calls to fillmatrix are very similar as before but with one more field (the second component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Remark===&lt;br /&gt;
Now the keyword DEFAULTVALUE in a property can read more than one value so DO NOT add text comments or other things in the same line after the defined values&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is correct inside a 2D property:&lt;br /&gt;
  !comments go here&lt;br /&gt;
  DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0   !this is not correct commenting and can stop the model at construction phase&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Examples==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is a guide on configuring [[MOHID Water]] new way of defining vectorial properties.&lt;br /&gt;
And a recall on angle properties computation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Referentials===&lt;br /&gt;
Input Vectorial properties in MOHID have a X (zonal component) and Y (meridian component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Input Angle properties in MOHID in ModuleAtmosphere and ModuleWaves have nautical referential (0º is wind or wave from N towards S, 90º is from East towards West and so on).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID computes fluxes using components in cell referential (aligned with U and V faces) and angles are also refered to cell trigonometric circle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Old Way of definig vectorial properties and angle propeties==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID treated until now (Dez 2015) vectorial properties as two scalar properties, defined separately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This an example of wind velocity X and wind velocity Y in Atmosphere_X.dat file until now:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity X&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity X&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : CONSTANT&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity Y&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity Y&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : CONSTANT&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This approach is straightforward to implement as Module FillMatrix treats all properties the same, reads the options, fills the matrix and returns to calling modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However it creates one problem: how to deal with vectorial transformation from user input referential to the MOHID cell referential (if grid rotation and distortion exists).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution used until now was that each module would do its own transformations what could lead to conversion errors or lack of conversions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same issue occurs with angle properties where each module would do its own transformations what could lead to same problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The New Way of definig vectorial properties==&lt;br /&gt;
The New age has arrived!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only vectorial propeties have changed the input format. Angle properties are scalar properties so in terms of input there was no change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to avoid the descentralization and repetition of the transformation process around modules, the vectorial property concept was created in Module FillMatrix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And both vectorial and angle tranformation are made inside Module FillMatrix and the resulting matrixes returned to modules are always in MOHID cell referential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An example of the new vectorial input is in Module Atmosphere:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That replaces the two properties wind velocity X and wind velocity Y.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword DEFAULTVALUE can now read two or three components (if 3D property) istead of only one as before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the Input/Output conventions used by all Modules?===&lt;br /&gt;
Basically user inputs vectorial properties in zonal/meridional components and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves) and MOHID in all modules uses internaly MOHID cell referential given by Module FillMatrix (after transformation from user referential).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To write output each module call again Module FillMatrix to get the fields in user input referential. So input and output is always in the zonal/meridional components (vectorial) and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What vectorial properties does the new approach changes in terms of data file definition?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
#wind velocity X and wind velocity Y are now only defined by wind velocity property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module InterfaceWaterAir&lt;br /&gt;
#wind stress X and wind stress Y are now only defined by wind stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Waves&lt;br /&gt;
#radiation stress X and radiation stress Y are now only defined by radiation stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What kind of input type is allowed for the new vectorial properties?===&lt;br /&gt;
for now only constant, timeserie, ascii_file and hdf inputs are allowed. However new developments are welcome for other types of input.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How does it work? (for code enthusiasts)===&lt;br /&gt;
Module FillMatrix now behaves similarly as before where each property could have only one field of type time serie, ascii file, hdf. Now it can have more (two in 2D properties).&lt;br /&gt;
The Module FillMatrix searches how many components each property has and does the same old process on all of them, but saving the results in different fields (e.g. component X and Y).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modules that ask properties fields to fillmatrix also save information in different matrixes and calls to fillmatrix are very similar as before but with one more field (the second component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Remark===&lt;br /&gt;
Now the keyword DEFAULTVALUE in a property can read more than one value so DO NOT add text comments or other things in the same line after the defined values&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is correct inside a 2D property:&lt;br /&gt;
  !comments go here&lt;br /&gt;
  DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0   !this is not correct commenting and can stop the model at construction phase&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Examples==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Module Atmosphere wind velocity defined by ASCII grid===&lt;br /&gt;

==The New Way of definig vectorial properties==&lt;br /&gt;
The New age has arrived!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only vectorial propeties have changed the input format. Angle properties are scalar properties so in terms of input there was no change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to avoid the descentralization and repetition of the transformation process around modules, the vectorial property concept was created in Module FillMatrix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And both vectorial and angle tranformation are made inside Module FillMatrix and the resulting matrixes returned to modules are always in MOHID cell referential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An example of the new vectorial input is in Module Atmosphere:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That replaces the two properties wind velocity X and wind velocity Y.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword DEFAULTVALUE can now read two or three components (if 3D property) istead of only one as before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the Input/Output conventions used by all Modules?===&lt;br /&gt;
Basically user inputs vectorial properties in zonal/meridional components and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves) and MOHID in all modules uses internaly MOHID cell referential given by Module FillMatrix (after transformation from user referential).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To write output each module call again Module FillMatrix to get the fields in user input referential. So input and output is always in the zonal/meridional components (vectorial) and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What vectorial properties does the new approach changes in terms of data file definition?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
#wind velocity X and wind velocity Y are now only defined by wind velocity property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module InterfaceWaterAir&lt;br /&gt;
#wind stress X and wind stress Y are now only defined by wind stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Waves&lt;br /&gt;
#radiation stress X and radiation stress Y are now only defined by radiation stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What kind of input type is allowed for the new vectorial properties?===&lt;br /&gt;
for now only constant, timeserie, ascii_file and hdf inputs are allowed. However new developments are welcome for other types of input.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How does it work? (for code enthusiasts)===&lt;br /&gt;
Module FillMatrix now behaves similarly as before where each property could have only one field of type time serie, ascii file, hdf. Now it can have more (two in 2D properties).&lt;br /&gt;
The Module FillMatrix searches how many components each property has has does the same old process on all of them, but saving the results in different fields (e.g. component X and Y).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modules that ask properties fields to fillmatrix also save information in different matrixes and calls to fillmatrix are very similar as before but with one more field (the second component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Remark===&lt;br /&gt;
Now the keyword DEFAULTVALUE in a property can read more than one value so DO NOT add text comments or other things in the same line after the defined values&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is correct inside a 2D property:&lt;br /&gt;
  !comments go here&lt;br /&gt;
  DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0   !this is not correct commenting and can stop the model at construction phase&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is a guide on configuring [[MOHID Water]] new way of defining vectorial properties.&lt;br /&gt;
And a recall on angle properties computation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Referentials===&lt;br /&gt;
Input Vectorial properties in MOHID have a X (zonal component) and Y (meridian component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Input Angle properties in MOHID in ModuleAtmosphere and ModuleWaves have nautical referential (0º is wind or wave from N towards S, 90º is from East towards West and so on).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID computes fluxes using components in cell referential (aligned with U and V faces) and angles are also refered to cell trigonometric circle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Old Way of definig vectorial properties and angle propeties==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID treated until now (Dez 2015) vectorial properties as two scalar properties, defined separately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This an example of wind velocity X and wind velocity Y in Atmosphere_X.dat file until now:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity X&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity X&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : CONSTANT&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity Y&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity Y&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : CONSTANT&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This approach is straightforward to implement as Module FillMatrix treats all properties the same, reads the options, fills the matrix and returns to calling modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However it creates one problem: how to deal with vectorial transformation from user input referential to the MOHID cell referential (if grid rotation and distortion exists).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution used until now was that each module would do its own transformations what could lead to conversion errors or lack of conversions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same issue occurs with angle properties where each module would do its own transformations what could lead to same problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The New Way of definig vectorial properties==&lt;br /&gt;
The New age has arrived!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only vectorial propeties have changed the input format. Angle properties are scalar properties so in terms of input there was no change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to avoid the descentralization and repetition of the transformation process around modules, the vectorial property concept was created in Module FillMatrix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And both vectorial and angle tranformation are made inside Module FillMatrix and the resulting matrixes returned to modules are always in MOHID cell referential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An example of the new vectorial input is in Module Atmosphere:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That replaces the two properties wind velocity X and wind velocity Y.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword DEFAULTVALUE can now read two or three components (if 3D property) istead of only one as before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the Input/Output conventions used by all Modules?===&lt;br /&gt;
Basically user inputs vectorial properties in zonal/meridional components and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves) and MOHID in all modules uses internaly MOHID cell referential given by Module FillMatrix (after transformation from user referential).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To write output each module call again Module FillMatrix to get the fields in user input referential. So input and output is always in the zonal/meridional components (vectorial) and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What vectorial properties does the new approach changes in terms of data file definition?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
#wind velocity X and wind velocity Y are now only defined by wind velocity property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module InterfaceWaterAir&lt;br /&gt;
#wind stress X and wind stress Y are now only defined by wind stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Waves&lt;br /&gt;
#radiation stress X and radiation stress Y are now only defined by radiation stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What kind of input type is allowed for the new vectorial properties?===&lt;br /&gt;
for now only constant, timeserie, ascii_file and hdf inputs are allowed. However new developments are welcome for other types of input.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How does it work? (for code enthusiasts)===&lt;br /&gt;
Module FillMatrix now behaves similarly as before where each property could have only one field of type time serie, ascii file, hdf. Now it can have more (two in 2D properties).&lt;br /&gt;
The Module FillMatrix searches how many components each property has has does the same old process on all of them, but saving the results in different fields (e.g. component X and Y).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modules that ask properties fields to fillmatrix also save information in different matrixes and calls to fillmatrix are very similar as before but with one more field (the second component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Remark===&lt;br /&gt;
Now the keyword DEFAULTVALUE in a property can read more than one value so DO NOT add text comments or other things in the same line after the defined values&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is correct inside a 2D property:&lt;br /&gt;
  !comments go here&lt;br /&gt;
  DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0   !this is not correct commenting and can stop the model at construction phase&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is a guide on configuring [[MOHID Water]] new way of defining vectorial properties.&lt;br /&gt;
And a recall on angle properties computation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vectorial properties in MOHID have a X (zonal component) and Y (meridian component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Angle properties in MOHID in ModuleAtmosphere and ModuleWaves have nautical referential (0º is wind or wave from N towards S, 90º is from East towards West and so on).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Old Way of definig vectorial properties and angle propeties==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID treated until now (Dez 2015) vectorial properties as two scalar properties, defined separately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This an example of wind velocity X and wind velocity Y in Atmosphere_X.dat file:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity X&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity X&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : CONSTANT&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity Y&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity Y&lt;br /&gt;
 INITIALIZATION_METHOD     : CONSTANT&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This approach is straightforward to implement as Module FillMatrix treats all properties the same, reads the options fills the matrix and returns to calling modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However it creates one problem: how to deal with vectorial transformation from user input referential to the MOHID cell referential (if grid rotation and distortion exists).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution used until now was that each module would do its own transformations what could lead to conversion errors or lack of convertions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same issue occurs with angle properties where each module would do its own transformations what could lead to same problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The New Way of definig vectorial properties==&lt;br /&gt;
The New age has arrived!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only vectorial propeties have changed the input format. Angle properties are scalar properties so in terms of input there was no change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to avoid the descentralization and repetition of the transformation process, the vectorial property concept was created in Module FillMatrix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And both vectorial and angle tranformation are made inside Module FillMatrix and the resulting matrixes returned to modules are always in MOHID cell referential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An example of the new vectorial input is in Module Atmosphere:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;beginproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 NAME                      : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 UNITS                     : m/s&lt;br /&gt;
 DESCRIPTION               : wind velocity&lt;br /&gt;
 DEFAULTVALUE              : -1.0 0.0&lt;br /&gt;
 REMAIN_CONSTANT           : 1&lt;br /&gt;
 OUTPUT_HDF                : 0&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;endproperty&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That replaces the two properties wind velocity X and wind velocity Y.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keyword DEFAULTVALUE can now read two or three components (if 3D property) istead of only one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are the Input/Output conventions used by all Modules?===&lt;br /&gt;
Basically user inputs vecorial properties in zonal/meridional components (vectorial) and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves) and MOHID in all modules uses interannly MOHID cell referential given by Module FillMatrix (after transformation from user referential).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To write output each module call again Module FillMatrix to get the fields in user input referential. So input and output is always in the zonal/meridional components (vectorial) and angles in nautical referential (atmosphere and waves)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What vectorial properties does the new approach changes in terms of data file definition?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
#wind velocity X and wind velocity Y are now only defined by wind velocity property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module InterfaceWaterAir&lt;br /&gt;
#wind stress X and wind stress Y are now only defined by wind stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Module Waves&lt;br /&gt;
#radiation stress X and radiation stress Y are now only defined by radiation stress property&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What kind of input type is allowed for the new vectorial properties?===&lt;br /&gt;
for now only constant, timeserie, ascii_file and hdf inputs are allowed. However new developments are welcome for other types of input.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How does it work? (for code enthusiasts)===&lt;br /&gt;
Module FillMatrix now behaves similarly as before but instead of each property can have only one field of type time serie, ascii file, hdf, now it can have more (two in 2D properties).&lt;br /&gt;
The Module FillMatrix searches how many components it has and does the same old process on all of them, saving the results in different fields (e.g. component X and Y).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modules that ask properties fields to fillmatrix also save information in different matrixes and calls to fillmatrix are very similar with one more field (the second component).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Examples==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Atmosphere wind velocity defined by ASCII grid===~&lt;br /&gt;
In case of ascii grid the user needs to provide two different files and two default values for x and y component (in this order).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Water consists of a three-dimensional numerical model to simulate surface water bodies such as rivers, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal areas or the ocean. It is one of the main programs in [[MOHID Water Modelling System]], written in FORTRAN 95 using an [[Object oriented programming in MOHID|object oriented programming]] phylosophy. It is composed of a series of [[Modules#Mohid Water|modules]] built on top of [[Mohid Base 1]] and [[Mohid Base 2]].&lt;br /&gt;
These modules are mainly responsible for computing physical or biogeochemical process, e.g. [[Module Hydrodynamic]], [[Module WaterProperties]], [[Module Turbulence]], [[Module Lagrangian]], etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Water was designed in order to be able to simulate aquatic systems dividing them into three compartments or media: air, water and land. Thus it was constructed assuming: one model consisting of two main interfaces: the water-sediment interface and the water-air interface, dividing three well defined compartments, the atmosphere, the water column and the sediment. The two interfaces should be able to communicate by handling the fluxes between the three compartments. To do this, two modules were created: [[Module InterfaceSedimentWater]] and [[Module InterfaceWaterAir]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, the model was set up in a way that each of the three compartments did not have access to another compartment, being all communications made by the interface modules. That is, with this organization, [[Module SedimentProperties]] and [[Module Consolidation]] (representative of the sediment column), communicate only with [[Module InterfaceSedimentWater]], as well as modules Hydrodynamic, WaterProperties, Turbulence and Lagrangian (representative of the water column). These modules also communicate with [[Module InterfaceWaterAir]] which provides the connection with [[Module Atmosphere]].

&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Water consists of a three-dimensional numerical model to simulate surface water bodies such as rivers, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal areas or the ocean. It is one of the main programs in [[MOHID Water Modelling System]], written in FORTRAN 95 using an [[Object oriented programming in MOHID|object oriented programming]] phylosophy. It is composed of a series of [[Modules#Mohid Water|modules]] built on top of [[Mohid Base 1]] and [[Mohid Base 2]].&lt;br /&gt;
These modules are mainly responsible for computing physical or biogeochemical process, e.g. [[Module Hydrodynamic]], [[Module WaterProperties]], [[Module Turbulence]], [[Module Lagrangian]], etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Water was designed in order to be able to simulate aquatic systems dividing them into three compartments or media: air, water and land. Thus it was constructed assuming: one model consisting of two main interfaces: the water-sediment interface and the water-air interface, dividing three well defined compartments, the atmosphere, the water column and the sediment. The two interfaces should be able to communicate by handling the fluxes between the three compartments. To do this, two modules were created: [[Module InterfaceSedimentWater]] and [[Module InterfaceWaterAir]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, the model was set up in a way that each of the three compartments did not have access to another compartment, being all communications made by the interface modules. That is, with this organization, [[Module SedimentProperties]] and [[Module Consolidation]] (representative of the sediment column), communicate only with [[Module InterfaceSedimentWater]], as well as modules Hydrodynamic, WaterProperties, Turbulence and Lagrangian (representative of the water column). These modules also communicate with [[Module InterfaceWaterAir]] which provides the connection with [[Module Atmosphere]]. [[Module Model]] controls and manages all the information fluxes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Module Reservoirs allows to compute reservois dynamic that change river flows and concentrations. Module Reservoirs recieves flows and concentrations from Module Drainage Network and gives flows and concentrations to the same module.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Main Processes==&lt;br /&gt;
The reservoirs do not have a explicit geometry and are located in a given Drainage Network node (that will interact flows and concetrations with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hydrology===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reservoirs minimum parameter is maximum volume (keyword MAX_VOLUME) and optionally minimum volume (keyword MIN_VOLUME, default is 0.0). Below minimum volume the reservoir does not discharge and above maximum volume the reservoir discharges the remainder so that volume does not get higher than maximum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Inflows====&lt;br /&gt;
The inflows are imposed by Drainage Network at the nodes where the reservoir are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Discharges====&lt;br /&gt;
Via Module Discharges any discharge can be imposed (positive e.g. WWTP, or negative e.g. water abstraction for irigation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Surface Fluxes====&lt;br /&gt;
Surface fluxes as precipitation and evaporation are not computed yet but routines already exist for that purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Outflows====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outflows can be computed by defining several options:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Outflow Unmanaged Reservoir'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1)&lt;br /&gt;
If the maximum volume is the only information available, the reservoir will not discharge untill complete full and there after will discharge the volume above maximum divided by time step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)&lt;br /&gt;
There is the option to define unmanaged reservoir as a weir (by keyword IS_WEIR : 1) and the reservoir outflow is defined by the weir equation (also defined in ModuleDischarges). Then the crest elevation and widht need to be defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Outflow Managed Reservoirs'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1)&lt;br /&gt;
If beside the maximum volume only an environmental flow (keyword MIN_OUTFLOW) is defined, then above minimum volume the environmental flow will be discharged until it reaches the maximum volume and there after will discharge the volume above maximum divided by time step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2)&lt;br /&gt;
If an operation curve is given (keyword OPERATION_TYPE), on the form of:&lt;br /&gt;
# level - outflow                                             - OPERATION_TYPE : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# level - outflow = percentage of inflow                      - OPERATION_TYPE : 2&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow                          - OPERATION_TYPE : 3&lt;br /&gt;
# percentage of res volume - outflow = percentage of inflow   - OPERATION_TYPE : 4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
then the curve is read and the outflow computed based on actual reservoir volume or level. The outflow can be given directly from volume or level or the curve can define a percentage of inflow, where the outflow will be a percentage of the inflow at that instant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curves are given by &amp;lt;&amp;lt;beginoperation&amp;gt;&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;&amp;lt;endoperation&amp;gt;&amp;gt; block wher first column is level (elevation) or percentage of reservoir volume and second column is outflow (m3/s) or percentage of inflow (0-1) and between defined points the model linearly interpolates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If at any given instant the volume/level of the reservoir is below the lowest point of curves, it will impose environmental flow if available or zero.&lt;br /&gt;
If at any given instant the volume/level of the reservoir is above the highest point of curves, it will impose the last point outflow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Reminder:''' if level is used an accumulated volumes curve is required (volume - elevation)) through a &amp;lt;&amp;lt;beginaccvolumecurve&amp;gt;&amp;gt;    &amp;lt;&amp;lt;endaccvolumecurve&amp;gt;&amp;gt; block where first column is reservoir volume and second is elevation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) &lt;br /&gt;
There is also the option to impose the outflow (e.g. from measured data) where this is done via Module Discharges but the discharge needs to be negative and a keyword in discharge present (IS_OUTFLOW)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This management option will be given priority and will be used even that environmental flow or operation curves are defined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Properties===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concentrations are computed based on two available methods (keyword PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Instant Mixing                            - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 1&lt;br /&gt;
# Mixing occurs at retention time           - PROP_COMPUTE_METHOD : 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The instant mixing method computes the new concentration as the mixing in all reservoir would occur in the given time step being a mass balance between the existing and the entering mass divided by total volume&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second method uses the first as the target concentration and computes the concentration difference and the reservoir retention time (inflow /reservoir volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the retention time is lower than the time step then the new concentration is the target concentration defined by instant mixing method. If not, the new concentration will be the old plus a percentage of the difference. And the percentage is given by time step / retention time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;MOHID Land is the newest core executable of the [[MOHID Water Modelling System]]. This program is designed to simulate hydrographic basin and aquifers. Main equations are described in a simple way in: [[Equations_in_Mohid_Land | equations description]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==MOHID Land's main features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land is a physically-based, spatially distributed, continuous, variable time step model for the water and property cycles in inland waters and main mediums and equations are presented in next image:&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:MohidLand_Old_New.png|600px|thumb|center|Mohid Land mediums and equations]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To follow the description of MOHID Land equations and derivation go to [[Equations in Mohid Land]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Main Processes===&lt;br /&gt;
The main processes solved are:&lt;br /&gt;
*3D Porous Media solving Richard's Equations&lt;br /&gt;
*1D Drainage Network solving Kinematic Wave, DiffusionWave or complete St. Venant equations (dynamic wave)&lt;br /&gt;
*2D Overland Flow (solving Diffusion Wave)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Evapotranspiration]] using Penman Motheith and water availability in soil&lt;br /&gt;
*Plant growth and agricultural practices (planting, harvest, kill, fertilization, pesticide application, etc.) including dormancy and SWAT crop database&lt;br /&gt;
*Porous Media interaction with Runoff in [[Infiltration]] using continuity (Richard's equation with Head gradient)&lt;br /&gt;
*Porous Media and Runoff interaction with Drainage Network using continuity (surface gradient between Runoff and Drainage Network. Richard's equation with  level gradient between Porous Media and Drainage Network)&lt;br /&gt;
*Drainage Network and Reservoir interaction to account river flow impact due to manmande hydraulic infraestructures&lt;br /&gt;
*Property transport in all mediums and transformation in soil and river (water quality models can be coupled)&lt;br /&gt;
*Biological and chemical reactions in soil as mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, immobilization, chemical equilibrium, property decay, and processes in river as primary production, nutrient assimilation, property decay, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
*Linkage to [[MOHID Water]] by [[Module Discharges]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dynamical time step adaptation===&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land uses an adaptive time-stepping method in its main hydrodynamic cycle. Within an iterative cycle, if the water volume — of reach or overland flow or porous media — varies more than a user defined percentage during two consecutive time steps, the model automatically decreases the time step. Thereafter the model recalculates the current solution with a smaller time step for the affected process (reach or overland flow or porous media). This process is repeated until the volume variation is less than the user defined value mentioned above. The time step dynamically increases again when the model verifies that flow is “stable”. For example within the module &amp;quot;Drainage Network&amp;quot; the time step may be reduced to very short intervals during flush events.&lt;br /&gt;
This procedure avoids the occurrence of negative volumes and optimizes the time it takes to make a certain simulation, without compromising model stability. Time steps of the processes — computed in the different sub-models — can be chosen differently, adding more to the optimization of the computational cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interpolated Rain===&lt;br /&gt;
You can produce spatialy interpolated rain using [[FillMatrix]] tool, using as input two or more precipitation stations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==MOHID Land Structure, Description and Source Code==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land model is programmed in Fortan95 using a OOP (object-oriented programming) philoshophy and code is organized in Modules (or classes) that handle specific processes in specific mediums. Also and interface Module exists to handle the exchange info between classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MOHID Land Modules===&lt;br /&gt;
Some modules developed are related with specific processes which occur inside a watershed and on a specific medium, creating thus a modular structure. For user first approach and advanced use, processes solved, equations, input data files examples are presented below for each MOHID Land module:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module PorousMedia]] which calculates infiltration, unsaturated and saturated water movement&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module PorousMediaProperties]] which calculates property transport and transformation in soil.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;MOHID Land is the newest core executable of the [[MOHID Water Modelling System]]. This program is designed to simulate hydrographic basin and aquifers. Main equations are described in a simple way in: [[Equations_in_Mohid_Land | equations description]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==MOHID Land's main features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land is a physically-based, spatially distributed, continuous, variable time step model for the water and property cycles in inland waters and main mediums and equations are presented in next image:&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:MohidLand_Old_New.png|600px|thumb|center|Mohid Land mediums and equations]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To follow the description of MOHID Land equations and derivation go to [[Equations in Mohid Land]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Main Processes===&lt;br /&gt;
The main processes solved are:&lt;br /&gt;
*3D Porous Media solving Richard's Equations&lt;br /&gt;
*1D Drainage Network solving Kinematic Wave, DiffusionWave or complete St. Venant equations (dynamic wave)&lt;br /&gt;
*2D Overland Flow (solving Diffusion Wave)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Evapotranspiration]] using Penman Motheith and water availability in soil&lt;br /&gt;
*Plant growth and agricultural practices (planting, harvest, kill, fertilization, pesticide application, etc.) including dormancy and SWAT crop database&lt;br /&gt;
*Porous Media interaction with Runoff in [[Infiltration]] using continuity (Richard's equation with Head gradient)&lt;br /&gt;
*Porous Media and Runoff interaction with Drainage Network using continuity (surface gradient between Runoff and Drainage Network. Richard's equation with  level gradient between Porous Media and Drainage Network)&lt;br /&gt;
*Drainage Network and Reservoir interaction to account river flow impact due to manmande hydraulic infraestructures&lt;br /&gt;
*Property transport in all mediums and transformation in soil and river (water quality models can be coupled)&lt;br /&gt;
*Biological and chemical reactions in soil as mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, immobilization, chemical equilibrium, property decay, and processes in river as primary production, nutrient assimilation, property decay, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
*Linkage to [[MOHID Water]] by [[Module Discharges]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Floods&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dynamical time step adaptation===&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land uses an adaptive time-stepping method in its main hydrodynamic cycle. Within an iterative cycle, if the water volume — of reach or overland flow or porous media — varies more than a user defined percentage during two consecutive time steps, the model automatically decreases the time step. Thereafter the model recalculates the current solution with a smaller time step for the affected process (reach or overland flow or porous media). This process is repeated until the volume variation is less than the user defined value mentioned above. The time step dynamically increases again when the model verifies that flow is “stable”. For example within the module &amp;quot;Drainage Network&amp;quot; the time step may be reduced to very short intervals during flush events.&lt;br /&gt;
This procedure avoids the occurrence of negative volumes and optimizes the time it takes to make a certain simulation, without compromising model stability. Time steps of the processes — computed in the different sub-models — can be chosen differently, adding more to the optimization of the computational cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interpolated Rain===&lt;br /&gt;
You can produce spatialy interpolated rain using [[FillMatrix]] tool, using as input two or more precipitation stations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==MOHID Land Structure, Description and Source Code==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land model is programmed in Fortan95 using a OOP (object-oriented programming) philoshophy and code is organized in Modules (or classes) that handle specific processes in specific mediums. Also and interface Module exists to handle the exchange info between classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MOHID Land Modules===&lt;br /&gt;
Some modules developed are related with specific processes which occur inside a watershed and on a specific medium, creating thus a modular structure. For user first approach and advanced use, processes solved, equations, input data files examples are presented below for each MOHID Land module:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module PorousMedia]] which calculates infiltration, unsaturated and saturated water movement&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module PorousMediaProperties]] which calculates property transport and transformation in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module SedimentQuality]] which calculates property transformation in soil driven by microorgansims (mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module PREEQC]] which calculates property transformation in soil through chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module Runoff]] which calculates overland runoff;&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module RunoffProperties]] which calculates property transport in runoff.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module DrainageNetwork]] which handles water and property routing and property transformation inside rivers.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module Vegetation]] which handles vegetation growth and agricultural practices.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module Reservoirs]] which handles weir and reservoir behaviour in changing river flow (Drainage Network interaction) and concentrations.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module Basin]] which handles information between modules and computes interface forcing fluxes between atmosphere and soil (e.g. troughfall, potential evapotranspiration, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;

*3D Porous Media solving Richard's Equations&lt;br /&gt;
*1D Drainage Network solving Kinematic Wave, DiffusionWave or complete St. Venant equations (dynamic wave)&lt;br /&gt;
*2D Overland Flow (solving Diffusion Wave)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Evapotranspiration]] using Penman Motheith and water availability in soil&lt;br /&gt;
*Plant growth and agricultural practices (planting, harvest, kill, fertilization, pesticide application, etc.) including dormancy and SWAT crop database&lt;br /&gt;
*Porous Media interaction with Runoff in [[Infiltration]] using continuity (Richard's equation with Head gradient)&lt;br /&gt;
*Porous Media and Runoff interaction with Drainage Network using continuity (surface gradient between Runoff and Drainage Network. Richard's equation with  level gradient between Porous Media and Drainage Network)&lt;br /&gt;
*Drainage Network and Reservoir interaction to account river flow impact due to manmande hydraulic infraestructures&lt;br /&gt;
*Property transport in all mediums and transformation in soil and river (water quality models can be coupled)&lt;br /&gt;
*Biological and chemical reactions in soil as mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, immobilization, chemical equilibrium, property decay, and processes in river as primary production, nutrient assimilation, property decay, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
*Linkage to [[MOHID Water]] by [[Module Discharges]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Floods&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dynamical time step adaptation===&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land uses an adaptive time-stepping method in its main hydrodynamic cycle. Within an iterative cycle, if the water volume — of reach or overland flow or porous media — varies more than a user defined percentage during two consecutive time steps, the model automatically decreases the time step. Thereafter the model recalculates the current solution with a smaller time step for the affected process (reach or overland flow or porous media). This process is repeated until the volume variation is less than the user defined value mentioned above. The time step dynamically increases again when the model verifies that flow is “stable”. For example within the module &amp;quot;Drainage Network&amp;quot; the time step may be reduced to very short intervals during flush events.&lt;br /&gt;
This procedure avoids the occurrence of negative volumes and optimizes the time it takes to make a certain simulation, without compromising model stability. Time steps of the processes — computed in the different sub-models — can be chosen differently, adding more to the optimization of the computational cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interpolated Rain===&lt;br /&gt;
You can produce spatialy interpolated rain using [[FillMatrix]] tool, using as input two or more precipitation stations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==MOHID Land Structure, Description and Source Code==&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land model is programmed in Fortan95 using a OOP (object-oriented programming) philoshophy and code is organized in Modules (or classes) that handle specific processes in specific mediums. Also and interface Module exists to handle the exchange info between classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MOHID Land Modules===&lt;br /&gt;
Some modules developed are related with specific processes which occur inside a watershed and on a specific medium, creating thus a modular structure. For user first approach and advanced use, processes solved, equations, input data files examples are presented below for each MOHID Land module:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module PorousMedia]] which calculates infiltration, unsaturated and saturated water movement&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module PorousMediaProperties]] which calculates property transport and transformation in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module SedimentQuality]] which calculates property transformation in soil driven by microorgansims (mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module PREEQC]] which calculates property transformation in soil through chemical equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module Runoff]] which calculates overland runoff;&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module RunoffProperties]] which calculates property transport in runoff.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module DrainageNetwork]] which handles water and property routing and property transformation inside rivers.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module Vegetation]] which handles vegetation growth and agricultural practices.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module Reservoirs]] which handles weir and reservoir behaviour in changing river flow (Drainage Network interaction) and concentrations.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Module Basin]] which handles information between modules and computes interface forcing fluxes between atmosphere and soil (e.g. troughfall, potential evapotranspiration, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
MOHID Land also uses all the modules for data pre-processing, computation and post-processing that are common to MOHID Water (e.g. data file read, geometry handling, results writting in HDF and timeserie, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
