Emoji - 🌊 InfoWorks Pollutograph Deep Dive 🌊

 


🌊 InfoWorks Pollutograph Deep Dive 🌊

This informative section is especially dedicated to Water Quality Simulations enthusiasts 🌏💧.


💡 Introduction to Pollutograph:

A Pollutograph 📈 in InfoWorks symbolizes a series of water quality inputs into a system. This comprehensive graph outlines concentrations for sediment fractions, dissolved determinants, and measures the potency of attached determinants. You'll apply this input at specific nodes, links, 2D point sources, 2D line sources, or 2D boundaries using the 🎨 Profile Properties Dialog.


🔗 Integration with Inflow or Level Event:

The Pollutograph collaborates seamlessly with an Inflow or Level event. While the latter provides a flow measurement, their combined effort defines the actual pollutant inflow. For every pinpoint that's determinant input is defined in the Pollutograph, a hydrograph must also be distinctly defined in the Inflow or Level event.


🔔 Important Notes:

  • Level hydrographs are particularly used to offer inflow data at Outfall nodes or 2D boundaries. This reflects the changing level in massive water bodies, such as rivers or oceans. Once this level surpasses the outfall level, a backflow into the system can emerge 🌊↩️.

  • Inflow hydrographs have a more versatile application, valid at 2D point sources, 2D line sources, 2D boundaries, links, and most node types, with the exception of Outfall nodes.

  • Be vigilant! 🚫 Pollutograph events shouldn't be used alongside Time Series Database objects during simulations.

  • To harness a pollutograph in a simulation, simply incorporate the pollutograph in the 📅 Pollutograph box present in the Schedule Hydraulic Run View.


✨ The Core Components of Pollutograph:

Pollutographs are showcased and modified using a specialized version of the Event Editor. Various tabs 📑 guide the user, each signifying a unique determinant inflow:

  • Sediment Input: The sediment tabs (SF1 and SF2) represent time-varying sediment concentration 🏞️.

  • Dissolved Pollutant Input: These tabs offer a comprehensive insight into time-varying concentrations for dissolved determinants. Additionally, fixed potency factors for determinants attached to sediment fractions can be defined here, if applicable 🧪.

  • Attached Pollutant Potency: These tabs illustrate time-varying potency factors for attached determinants. It's worth noting that these factors, when varied with time, will override any fixed potency factor 📌.

  • Detrital Pollutant Input: These determinant tabs are vital in the calculation of growth and decay of Algae and Macrophytes 🌱.

Each determinant is meticulously examined independently. For an exhaustive understanding of the determinants, diving into the Water Quality Determinants section is recommended 📚.


🔄 Sub-Events & Profiles Breakdown:

Pollutograph events, akin to many other event types, are bifurcated into:

  • Sub-events: These are specific time intervals during which an input to the system is recorded ⏳.

  • Profiles: These describe the input at a singular point 📍.

Delving deeper into how InfoWorks ICM treats sub-events and profiles can be enlightening. It's fascinating to observe that each determinant type can be unique, having varying sub-events with distinct start and end times.


Concluding Thoughts 🌟:

With the power of ChatGPT, the realm of water quality simulations and pollutographs is more accessible than ever. Whether you're a seasoned expert or a curious novice, this guide seeks to illuminate the intricate world of InfoWorks Pollutographs, ensuring you sail smoothly on the waves of data-driven water quality analysis 🚤🌊.
