Water Quality : Confluence Water Quality
Water Quality
Confluence Water Quality
The confluence has water quality methods simply for the purpose of passing constituent information upstream or downstream.
Slots
The following slots are instantiated based on the selected constituents
Note:  All slots on the confluence are dispatch slots.
Salinity Slots
 Inflow1 Salt Concentration
Type: Series Slot
Units: Concentration
Description: holds the values of inflow salinity for the first inflow to the confluence
I/O: Input, output, rules or solved for in the dispatch method.
 Inflow2 Salt Concentration
Type: Series Slot
Units: Concentration
Description: holds the values of inflow salinity for the second inflow to the confluence
I/O: Input, output, rules or solved for in the dispatch method.
 Outflow Salt Concentration
Type: Series Slot
Units: Concentration
Description: salinity of outflow from the confluence
I/O: Input, output, rules or solved for in the dispatch method.
