Channel Section Report
Report Description
The Channel Section report calculates the water balance for all the pools in the report area, but does not include uncertainty calculations.
Use the report to list calculated efficiency pool by pool for the selected area. This can be used to detect anomalous losses or measurement issues.
If you prefer to filter the results, you can run the Channel Flow Inaccuracy Report which allows you to specify threshold values for the volume gap and the pool efficiency.
If you prefer to include the uncertainty calcuations based on the relative volume uncertainties configured for network objects, run the Channel Section Efficiency Report instead.

Report Output
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
Channel |
Name of the channel |
|
Pool U/S Regulators |
Upstream regulator (that is, inflow regulator) for this pool |
|
Type |
Site type of upstream regulator |
|
Inflow (ML) |
Total volume of water that flowed into this pool for the period. This includes water supplied through the upstream regulator and any water flowing in from side channels. |
|
Main Passing Flow (ML) |
Total volume of water that flowed out of the pool through the next regulator downstream in the channel. |
|
Spur Passing Flow (ML) |
Total volume of water that flowed out of the pool through spur channels. |
|
Outfalls (ML) |
Total volume of water that flowed out of the pool through outfalls. |
|
Metered Deliveries (ML) |
Volume delivered to outlets with meter readings |
|
Estimated Deliveries (ML) |
Volume delivered to outlets without meter readings. This may be estimated in two ways:
The estimate will be based on order data unless the outlet type is specified in the Object Type SCADA Volume parameter. See Calculating the Estimated Delivery Volume for details. |
|
Total Deliveries (ML) |
Sum of the metered and estimated deliveries. |
|
Gap (ML) |
Calculated from
Inflow - Outflow |
|
Pool Efficiency % |
Calculated from
(Total Deliveries / Inflow) x 100 |

Channel Flow Inaccuracy Report
The Channel Flow Inaccuracy report calculates the water balance for all regulators in the report area. It measures the efficiency of the channel by listing the absolute difference between total volume inflow and the outflow, and the percentage of the total inflow volume supplied for orders. You can filter the pools included in the report by pool efficiency, and by the gap between inflow and outflow.
Channel Section Efficiency Report
The Channel Section Efficiency report calculates the water balance for all pools in the report area including uncertainty calculations. It measures the pool by pool efficiency of the channel by listing the absolute difference between total volume inflow and outflow, and the percentage of the inflow volume supplied for orders.
Channel Section Listing Report
The Channel Section Listing report lists the details of all gates and meters in the report area, grouped by the pool in which the objects are located.
The Monthly Efficiency report calculates the water balance and efficiency for the report area on a month by month basis. It incudes calculations of uncertainty.
