Flow Network
A flow network is the interconnected structure of system elements that defines how water moves through a modeled hydrological system. It includes natural pathways like rivers and streams, as well as man-made infrastructure such as reservoirs, canals, and diversions. In the model, this network is built by linking elements like Transport Reaches, Storage Elements, and Sub-Basins to represent the direction, sequence, and control of water flow across the system.
