Check descriptions - boundaries

FEH / ReFH Consistency Checks

When using FEH / ReFH boundaries it is important to ensure the data is consistent in all boundary units. The program can carry out three checks to ensure consistency in all the FEH / ReFH units of:

• Storm Duration
• Flood Return Period
• Hydrograph Scaling Factor (not always applicable in individually scaled hydrology)

It should be noted however that FEH and ReFH units are checked separately, so although the check ensures each group is consistent within themselves, the program does not check for consistency between the two groups if both types of boundary are present in the model. The check does not include any of these faults in the error count and will simply say how many units are inconsistent.

ReFH DDF Parameter Check

When using ReFH boundaries it is important to ensure the data is consistent in all boundary units. This check ensures all DDF parameters are the same for every ReFH unit in the model. It will check all the units against the first ReFH boundary and if they do not match the program outputs an error and lists the node name of the boundary.
