    Hi Chris,

    I should creat a steady flow model but I don’t known the amount of water that goes to each reach after the junction that split the channel.
    Is it possible to run the model without knowing those values?

    Thank you in advance.

    There are def ways to do it, but IMO they are just as complex and carry more uncertainty than creating an unsteady state model of the 2 reaches or representing the reach with either a 1D or 2D storage area. Depends how deeply annoyed you want to get with numerical randomness.

    A very talented hydraulic engineer once told me that sometimes the difference between a stable and unstable hec ras model is just finding the perfect variables and numerical values entered for stability.
