Viewing a Status Report

A Status Report is available for viewing after each simulation. It contains:

  • A summary of the main Simulation Options that are in effect.

  • A list of any error conditions encountered during the run.

  • A summary listing of the project’s input data (if requested in the Simulation Options).

  • A summary of the data read from each rainfall file used in the simulation.

  • A description of each control rule action taken during the simulation (if requested in the Simulation Options)

  • The system-wide mass continuity errors for:

runoff quantity and quality

groundwater flow

conveyance system flow and water quality

  • The names of the nodes with the highest individual flow continuity errors.

  • The names of the conduits that most often determined the size of the time step used for flow routing (only when the variable time step option is used).

  • The names of the links with the highest flow instability index values.

  • Information on the range of routing time steps taken and the percentage of these that were considered steady state.

In addition, the report contains several tables that display summary of results for the quantities of most interest for each subcatchment, LID control unit, node, and link. The tables and the information displayed are listed below.
