Description

  • The example of water depth after an intense event shows how deep the water becomes across the area of the Coastal Returnville following a heavy rainfall or flood event. 

  • The water discharge at the outlet section indicates the amount of water flowing out of the Coastal Returnville basin over time, highlighting peaks during the event. 

  • The cumulative erosion raster file produced for the Coastal Returnville represents the total amount of sediment displaced from the surface throughout the entire event. 

  • The sediment discharge and sediment volume at the outlet section shows the rate at which sediments are transported out of the basin and the total volume delivered during the event.
