Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Annual evaporation from TSF surface = 95000
- Annual saturated seepage loss through embankment/foundation = 42000
- Annual precipitation on TSF surface = 125000
- Annual operational water inflow (e.g., slurry, decant) = 850000
- Annual operational water outflow (e.g., decant, recycling) = 710000
Expected Result:
- Net upstream raise water balance = 128000
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Net upstream raise water balance = 128000 m^3.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
