Pond Properties Panel

Select a pond in the Grading Objects Browser or in the Visualization Display to open this properties panel. Use this dialog to modify the constraints for individual ponds.

Property Definitions

Name

Specifies the display name of the pond.

Pond Type

Specifies the kind of pond, either Dry Pond or Wet Pond. Pond type affects the optimization constraint properties available.

Min Storage Volume

Specifies the minimum storage volume constraint for the pond.

Max Storage Depth

Specifies a maximum storage depth constraint for the pond. This depth is measured from the freeboard depth to a dry pond bottom, or the permanent pool of a wet pond.

Allow Boundary Change

Specifies if Grading Optimization adjusts the existing pond boundaries. Otherwise, the pond boundaries will be affected by optimization.

Safety Bench

Accounts for a safety bench in the pond grading and enables safety bench constraint properties.

BERM

SAFETY BENCH

PERMANENT POOL (WET PONDS ONLY)

Specifies the required water depth for the permanent pool. It is the depth of water below the freeboard and storage volume.

Specifies the width of the aquatic bench in the permanent pool.

Specifies the slope ratio of the aquatic bench from the safety bench to the extent of its width.

Color

Specifies the color of the representative point, line segments, or areas of the grading object in the visualization display.

Active

Enables the grading object to be included in the optimization. When deselected, it is ignored.

Visible

Enables the grading object to be seen in the visualization display. When deselected, it is hidden but still active.
