"A junction is an element with one or more inflows and only one outflow. All inflow is added together to produce the outflow by assuming zero storage at the junction. It is usually used to represent a river or stream confluence." (HEC, 2002)

WMS treats outlets as junctions. This means that when you create an outlet, you are actually creating a junction. You are also creating a reach when you create an outlet. The only data associated with junctions is a description. This description is exported to the HMS file when you save the file. A reach is also associated with each outlet.
