WQ on Reach Elements
The WQ on Reach Elements category allows you to choose whether to model salinity on the member elements.
* None
This is the default, no-action method for this category. No slots are instantiated by this method. When this method is selected, all of the member elements are configured to not model salt. That is, the None method is selected on each reach. See None for details.
* Salinity
When this method is selected, all of the member elements are configured to model salt. That is, the Salinity method is selected on each reach; see Salinity for details. Also, concentration links are created between the aggregate and the first and last element and between successive reach elements. For example Element1.Salt Concentration Outflow is linked to element2.Salt Concentration Inflow. These links are made automatically.
Note:  The reach element must have No Routing selected, or an error will be issued.
* Mass Balance Salinity
When this method is selected, all of the member elements are configured to model salt. That is, the Mass Balance Salinity method is selected on each reach; see Mass Balance Salinity for details. Also, concentration links are created between the aggregate and the first and last element and between successive reach elements. For example Element1.Salt Concentration Outflow is linked to element2.Salt Concentration Inflow. These links are made automatically.
Note:  The reach element must have No Routing selected, or an error will be issued.
