While a reach element conceptually represents a segment of stream or river, optional modeling of interactions with the subsurface is performed by a loss/gain method contained within the reach. A loss/gain method represents losses from the channel, additions to the channel from groundwater, or bi-directional water movements, depending on the specific implementation of a method. The following loss/gain methods are provided in GeoHECHMS:
Each method included in the software provides a different level of detail and not all methods are equally adept at representing a particular stream. Further, some loss/gain methods are only compatible with certain routing methods because of differing data requirements.
The user can select the loss/gain method for a reach using the Reach Data dialog box.
Follow the steps given below to select a loss/gain method:
The following sections describe different loss/gain methods and how to enter the data for each method in the Loss/Gain Data panel.
When None is selected for the Loss/gain method, the Loss/Gain Data dropdown combo box entry is disabled (i.e., grayed out).
If the user chooses the None method, the reach will perform routing calculations without including any losses or gains to the channel.
The constant loss/gain method uses an empirical relationship to calculate channel loss using a fixed flow rate reduction and a ratio of the flow. It does not include any capability to represent gaining streams. A fixed flow rate is subtracted from the routed flow, and then the remainder is multiplied by a ratio. The reduced flow becomes the outflow for the reach.
Note that this method is compatible with all routing methods.
When Constant Loss/Gain is selected for the Loss/gain method, the following data panel will be displayed.
The following input parameters are provided in the data panel:
The percolation method uses a constant infiltration rate in combination with the inundated area in the reach to compute channel loss. It does not include any capability to represent gaining streams.
Note that this method is only compatible with the Modified Puls and Muskingum Cunge routing methods.
When used with the Modified Puls method, the optional elevation-discharge function and invert elevation must be specified in the routing parameters. The inundated area is calculated differently depending on the routing method. In combination with the Modified Puls method, the current storage and outflow are combined with the elevation-discharge curve to compute the inundated area. With the Muskingum-Cunge method, the wetted perimeter is multiplied by the reach length to compute area.
To learn more about different routing methods, refer to this article in our knowledge base.
When Percolation Loss is selected for the Loss/gain method, the following data panel will be displayed.
