Hi,

I have four reservoirs from upstream to downstream, and I know the natural inflow calculated from another hydrological model. This means I know the runoff data in natural conditions (those reservoirs do not exist).

Now I want to input those runoff data into the WEAP model. Can I just input the natural inflow data of each reservoir? Because they are all located at the main river, so I'm not sure if I can do this.

Thanks for the help!

Jingheng and for anyone wondering-

You can input the inflow from another model via a time-series CSV file using ReadFromFile in either the Inflow expression of a reservoir object, or Surface Water Inflow expression of a river object. Make sure to account for cumulative versus individual flow contributions at each point.

Apologies we did not get back to you originally.
