The Riparian Evapotranspiration package in MODFLOW-OWHM allows the user to define separate transpiration curves for different plant groups relating the head to the evapotranspiration rate. The transpiration curves are defined in the Riparian ET Plant Groups dialog box. The user can use objects to define the fractional coverage of each plant group in each cell and also varying land surface elevations in each cell to determine the evapotranspiration rate in each cell. The pane for this package is on the MODFLOW Packages and Programs dialog box under Head Dependant Flux.
The user can define comments for this package but no comments are printed in the RIP input file because the RIP package does not allow comments.
The user has the specify whether to print the riparian evapotranspiration for each plant group using Write plant group flows (IRIPCB1).
