Hydraulics of an irrigation system

I am trying to model the hydraulics of an irrigation system, not using any rainfall events in the model, but use a defined lateral flow. I entered a base value for a lateral inflow on the upstream junction and then route this flow through my pipe network. I am getting greater flows through each pipe then my inflow amount. I figure this max flow in each link is computed based on the slope and the link characteristics. If this is the case, I then removed the inflow value on the network and ran the simulation. This simulation produced a zero max flow for the upstream link and values for all of the downstream links.

What is stormnet doing in this model? Does any body have any thoughts?
