What is the difference between the "subnetwork ID" and "subnetwork outfall" fields?
Problem ID#: 47512

Solution

The "subnetwork ID" field will have the same value for all gravity elements that drain to a particular outfall, regardless of whether there's a pressure subnetwork in between.

The "Subnetwork outfall" field will have the same value for all gravity elements that drain to an outfall or a wetwell. So, for example if you had some conduits draining to a wetwell/pump, which then drains to a gravity network that drains to a final outfall, you would have two separate subnetwork outfalls - one would be the elements upstream of the wetwell and the other would be the elements downstream of the final pressure pipe. You would have only one subnetwork ID - for all the gravity elements upstream of the outfall.
