Land Use Engineering Library

The Land Use Engineering Library serves to store infiltration and roughness parameter for different land types for reuse in the application.

The Land Use Library stores the following data:

Property Definition
SCS CN value Value which defines infiltration when using SCS infiltration method.
Impermeability Fraction The portion of land that is impermeable.
Manning's n The roughness value associated with the land type.

The land use library is when initializing calculation parameters for calculating runoff of catchments, and for defining values on the calculation grid when running a 2D analysis.
