Problem Specification for multiple dams

Dear Chris

Now I can say, I have more or less the program under control. But I still have one more problem. I have to simulate the situation, that I have two dams behind each other. The most downstream dam shouldn't breach and should be from the beginning of the simulation full with water. The second, most upstream, has to breach. So I would like to know which problem specification option I have to take.

Dear Mr. Michael Bätscher :

Either Problem Specification Option 12 or 14 is used for 2 or more flow structures. Use Option 14 if the upper reservoir is being modeled with level pool assumptions.

If you have any additional questions or need any further information, please contact me again.

Dear Chris

But how can I model pool assumptions on the most downstream dam? I don't have this opportunity with option 12 + 14. I guess.

Dear Mr. Michael Bätscher :

Note that the downstream reservoir is modeled using cross sections to denote the geometry within the reservoir. It is not specified as reservoir elevation versus storage area.

If you have any additional questions or need any further information, please contact me again.
