Viewing and Managing Loss Values

Use the Losses module, or the Planning Schematic to change the loss value of a reach or pipe, and to view the history of loss values.

Note

If you set a loss on a reach, it is helpful to give the reach a meaningful name. Reaches are not required to have a unique name, so it can be difficult to identify the correct reach in the Losses module if it does not have a name.

You do not have to search for losses if you are logged in as a planner. The losses for your area are loaded automatically and the Find option is not available.

  3. If you want to exclude all reaches and pipes, clear the Show zero-value losses checkbox. This is checked by default.
