createAquifer: Constructor for class of 'createAquifer'

In WRSS: Water Resources System Simulator

Constructor for class of createAquifer

Description

this function constructs an object from class of createAquifer that prescribes a simplified lupmped model of unconfined aquifer.

Usage

createAquifer(name, area, volume,
              rechargeTS, Sy, leakageFraction,
              initialStorage, leakageObject, priority)

Arguments

name	(optional) A string: the name of the aquifer
area	The area of aquifer (Km^2)
volume	The aquifer volume (MCM)
rechargeTS	(optional) A vector : a vector of water flowing into the aquifer (MCM)
Sy	Specific yield (default: 0.1)
leakageFraction	(optional) The leakage coeffcient of aquifer storage. The leakage is computed as the product of leakageFraction and aquifer storage. It is in [0, 1] interval
initialStorage	(optional) The initial volume of aquifer in the first step of the simulation (MCM). If missing, the function iterates to carry over the aquifer.
leakageObject	(optional) an object; from either of classes of createAquifer , createRiver, createReservoir, createJunction, createDiversion, or createDemandSite; which leakage volume pours to it.
priority	(optional) An integer: the supplying priority. priority is a value in [1, 99] interval. If missing, the priority is set to Inf.

Value

An object from class of createAquifer
