Hello everyone,

I defined infiltration ponds as playas (reservoirs with RES = 2).
They appear as wetland HRUs, with WETL as the land use and wetl_lum as the land use management.

However, the Curve Number for these HRUs remains null. A high water yield is produced, and simulated percolation is zero.

How can I assign or force Curve Number values for WETL HRUs?

Best regards,

Awel Seid

 Hello, dear Ju.,
 But Playas are lakes with RES =4; NOT 2. So may be you are looking for CN in a wrong file.  
Cheers,
