Analysis Start Time

Starting time of the analysis in hours. The user can establish any protocol to set the time line. If a riverine (upland runoff) hydrograph is used, the user should consider a start time for the analysis as the start of the rainfall. If a constant riverine discharge value is used, the user is free to select any time scale that meets his or her needs. The start time establishes the initial conditions for the analysis, and the program then works through the process for each time step up through the ending time step.
