Ground Infiltration Data Fields
Ground Infiltration data can be edited on either the Ground Infiltration Grid Window of the Subcatchments Grid or the Ground Infiltration Property Sheet.
All data can be edited on the grid or the property sheet.
This table describes all the data fields used to define a Ground Infiltration object.
Common Data Fields Fields that are common to the majority of objects can be found in the Common Fields topic.
