-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 and additionally ​to define minimum and maximum flow limits. ​+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. A third way to define branch flow is by prescribing a constant or a time series of the wanted flow.

 //​BranchData.txt//​ is a tab-separated file located in the [[start:​hype_file_reference:​info.txt&#​model_options|modeldir]] folder. Sub-basins with bifurcations are listed row-wise. The first row contains a column header with variable names. Variable names are not case-sensitive (max. 10 characters, no spaces). Columns with headings unknown to HYPE are skipped while reading the file, but must not longer than ten characters. Columns containing character strings, e.g. descriptive meta-data, must not exceed a length of 100 characters. The columns may be in any order. A value must exist for every column and row, i.e. empty cells are not allowed. ​ //​BranchData.txt//​ is a tab-separated file located in the [[start:​hype_file_reference:​info.txt&#​model_options|modeldir]] folder.
