<p> In addition to the cistern size, this watershed scale modelling requires input information about draw down time. i.e. the rate of use. </p>

In a typical configuration:
<ul>
<li>The catchment (roof) would be 100% impervious</li>
<li>The rainwater harvesting system would be a 'Storage' Element with the following properties:</li>
<ul>
<li>Storage type = No removal</li>
<li>Lined</li>
<li>Underlying soil = <em>doesn't matter, can ignore</em></li>
<li>Evaporation factor = 0</li>
<li>Suction head (mm) = 0</li>
<li>Saturated conductivity (mm/hr) = 0</li>
<li>Initial soil moisture deficit (fraction) = 0</li>
</ul>
The dimensions of the rainwater cistern can be placed into the fields:
<ol>
<li>Bottom elevation (m)</li>
<li>Maximum depth (m)</li>
<li>Initial water depth (m)</li>
<li>The Curves table is set up to accommodate ponds of roughly conical dimensions. A rainwater cistern is usually cuboid or cylindrical in shape, so that the area (m<sup>2</sup>) will remain the same throughout the depth. </li>
