Thanks Soren,<br>From you response, can you please tell me how to do the following two tasks (which i dont find in the online manual for r.gwflow): the remainder of your comments i have figured out.<br><br>- How can i compute the flux in [m^3/s] for each cell with r.mapcalc?<br>
and<br><br>- i have set the bc of the edges and stream cells at constant head for now- how can i get the budget raster maps you mention?<br><br>thanks again,<br>Vishal<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 12:05 PM, Sören Gebbert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:soerengebbert@googlemail.com" target="_blank">soerengebbert@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Constant flux can currently only be defined using sources/sinks with<br>
unit [m^3/s], that is option q.<br>
But i can add two new options (fn, fe) that defines the flux in<br>
northern or eastern direction using the unit [m/s]<br>
that will be multiplied internally with the northern or eastern face<br>
area of the cell?<br>
<br>
Otherwise you need to compute the flux in [m^3/s] for each cell with r.mapcalc.<br>

<br>
</div>You can use the river boundary condition to specify the flux in stream pixel.<br>
<div class="im"><br>

<br>
</div>You can set the boundary of interest to constant head pixel and<br>
compute the flow throw the boundary pixel using the budget option.<br>
The resulting budget raster map shows the flow from active cell into<br>
sources, sinks and constant heads in [m^3/s].<br>
<br>
