The startDateTime and endDateTime in the run_info file are used by the model to determine the start (startDateTime) and end (endDateTime) of the model run. The model will pick the starting (state) value for level/storage (level has precedent in case of an inconsistency), inflow, outlet from the inputTimeSeriesFiles at the specific datetime. The model will first check for a state level value. If a starting level value is missing in the input, the model will use the starting storage value. If both starting level/storage cannot be determined from the input files, the model will throw an erroruse the first level element as defined in the storage table as the starting level. Inflow and outlet values at the starting time are not required at the first timestep and these values will not be used for storage calculations (no calculation at the first timestep). When these values are not provided as inputs, a value of 0 is assumed (and written to the output).
When no inflows into the reservoir are defined at all, the model will not calculate, but also it will not error out. It will produce and export.xml with missings (except for the initial values). When some intermediate inflow values are missing, the model will stop calculating at the point. It will not error out (and not throw a warning), it will produces an export.xml with calculated values up until the point an inflow value was missing and it will have missings for all outputs from that moment in time.
The following output timeseries file is suggested:
