- | This file contains all bifurcations within a HYPE model domain. Bifurcations are stream splits in downstream direction. They can occur naturally, but are often used in HYPE to describe inter-catchment water transfers for e.g. hydropower production. HYPE allows to split water flows by fixed fractions (''mainpart'') and optionally to define minimum and maximum flow limits. Another way to determine branch flow is through lakes with two outlets defined in [[start:hype_file_reference:lakedata.txt|LakeData.txt]]. Then only the path of the branch is necessary to give in BranchData.txt, but ''mainpart'' can also be given. It is used to calculate the upstream area of the subbasin, which in turn is used for calculating initial volume of main river, general rating curve parameters, upstream-area-output variables etc. | + | This file contains all bifurcations within a HYPE model domain.
