WMS:HEC-1 Channel Losses

Constant channel losses may be defined by defining values for the RL record. These parameters include the following:

  • QLOSS - Constant channel loss in entire routing in cfs (cms). This value is subtracted from every ordinate of the inflow hydrograph.
  • CLOSS - Ratio of remaining flow (after QLOSS) which is lost for entire routing. After subtracting QLOSS each inflow hydrograph ordinate is multiplied by (1-CLOSS).
  • PERCRT - Percolation rate cfs/acre (cu m/sec-acre) for wetted surface area of channel. This option is used in conjunction with storage routing and requires SA or SV/SE records to be defined.
  • ELVINV - Average invert elevation of channel L used to compute flow surface area for PERCRT.
