EveTrState¶

Requirement: Optional
Description: Initial wetness condition on EveTr
Configuration: If unknown, model assumes dry surfaces (acceptable as rainfall or irrigation will update these states quickly).

DecTrState¶

BSoilState¶

Requirement: Optional
Description: Initial wetness condition on BSoil
Configuration: If unknown, model assumes dry surfaces (acceptable as rainfall or irrigation will update these states quickly).

WaterState¶

Requirement: Optional
Description: Initial wetness condition on Water
Configuration: For a large water body (e.g. river, sea, lake) set WaterState to a large value, e.g. 20000 mm; for small water bodies (e.g. ponds, fountains) set WaterState to smaller value, e.g. 1000 mm. This value must not exceed StateLimit specified in SUEWS_Water.txt . If unknown, model uses value of WaterDepth specified in SUEWS_Water.txt .
