Other project is a catch-all name for a man-make features in the watershed related to the movement of water. Possible other projects might include pump stations, in-line spillways, or even an ecosystem restoration project. ResSim does not use other projects but you should consider carefully whether the other project you are considering adding to the watershed could be modeled with a reservoir or a diversion—such as a pump station.

To add an "Other" Project to the watershed:

  • Using the Other Project Tool , Ctrl-click at the location in the Map Display where you want the other project to appear. A Name… dialog will appear.
  • Enter a Name and optional Description for your other project, then click OK to complete the other project creation process.

  • The other project will be drawn in the Map Display as a computation point with an Other Project icon attached ("Figure: Other Project").

  • Use the Computation Point or Pointer tool to rename the computation point associated with the other project.

  • You can use the Other Project Properties Editor to reposition the Other Project icon and its associated computation point ("Figure: Other Project Properties Editor").
