How is the Mass Balance Calculated in the SWMM 5 Groundwater Component?

Subject:    How is the  Mass   Balance   Calculated  in the  SWMM   5   Groundwater   Component ? The  groundwater   component  of  SWMM   5  is found in the gwater.c code.  It (as is all of  SWMM   5 ) is excellently written in small functions by Lew Rossman of the EPA during the  SWMM   5  development process.  However, code being code sometimes it is easier to see how the code is functioning.  This blog or note tries to show the  mass   balance  local function  updateMassBal The  groundwater   component  consists of  groundwater  data (gw in the equation) and aquifer data (a) in the equation.  The equation for the  groundwater   mass   balance  is shown in Figure 1.   The infiltration, evaporation occur only over the perviousarea but the percolation out...
