Water Levels
This first graph shows the water levels of the two inlets
and the wetland outlet over a period with a few rain events. Notice that
the level at the wetland outlet does not go as high as the inlets. This
illustrates how a wetland can help contain and control flows and can reduce the
possibility of flooding. The water level is referenced to meters above the weir.
This graph lets you look at an individual storm event. It is easier to
see the sensitivity of the inlets and the wetland outlet with this graph.
This graph shows the water level changes that occurred from .5 inches of rain.
