What is it?
Zone budget (water balances) analyses can be conducted for:- the entire model domain
- any zone added to the model domain
- a single grid cell of the model
How to use it:
A zone budget is automatically created for the model domain every time a model is submitted for simulation. Positive fluxes represent sources of water to the zone/domain, while negative fluxes represent sinks of water. Default units are cubic feet per second (CFS), but users can change the units to gallons per minute (GPM) or cubic meters per day (m3/day) by using the drop-down menu next to ‘Unit’. Any changes made require that the ‘ReDraw’ button is selected before the chart is updated.Select the radio button next to ‘Zone’ to show the zone budget for any zone(s) within the model domain.
Select the radio button next to ‘Cell’ to show the zone budget for an individual grid cell. Use the arrows next to ‘I=’, ‘J=’, and ‘K=’ to specify the model cell location of interest.
