Note that you need to define the discharge at cross sections where there is additional flow added from tributary flow and additional runoff. Therefore, generally you reduce the flow as you travel upstream, since the flow is accumulated as you travel downstream.

To adjust the flow to account for these effects, select the cross section where you want to make the flow change. Then, select Input | Profile Adjustment. RiverCAD will then present a Profile Adjustment dialog. You can then define the new discharge. You can also navigate from cross section to cross section from within this dialog, as well as can "jump" to the next cross section (both upstream and downstream) where the next defined flow change is defined.

Remember, the key thing item is that the discharge that you define at that cross section is then propagated upstream until it reaches another profile adjustment.

If you have additional questions, please let me know.
