Dear all:

I am modeling a system that intended to minimize the effect of tidal water into farm/residential area and also to create a wetland with time. The system consists of four ponds or reservoirs connected between each other by channels. We have data as water surface elevation for tidal end and have decided to consider runoff as negligible because the system will not collect runoff other than falling rain inside the ponds.

My question is: How can I input the tidal watersurface elevations in a continuous way so I can model the water coming in and out of the ponds? when tides are high ponds will be filling up and when tides are low then ponds will be draining out.

Thanks for your advises,
