DMSTA2 -  Sample Input Files
The following examples represent a variety of case and network configurations that can be simulated.
These examples can be used as templates for developing specific design projects.
Input parameters used in these examples are for demonstration & should not be interpreted as default values.
The user is must specify appropriate input values for each application and variable.
To speed computations for demonstrations & workshops, each case is specified as follows:
Examples Applications
Inflow Concentrations Constant time-varying, depending on application
Iterations 1 = 0 to automatically iterate to stable solution
Tanks in Series 1 depends on cell features
Time Series Length  5 yrs* depends on design problem (typically >10 years)
* plus a 1-year startup period to flush initial conditions
The above parameters should be reset as appropriate for each application.

These cases are derived from historical simulations of regional reservoirs.
They do not reflect current designs.
Inflow time series represent the entire inflow from upstream reservoirs and/or basin
