Other Notes

Zone arrays are used in the ADV2, ETS, EVT, HUF2, KDEP, LPF, LVDA, RCH, and UPW input files.

Input Instructions

Input to define zone arrays is read from the file that is specified with "ZONE" as the file type. Zone arrays can be used to specify the cells in a layer variable that are associated with a parameter.
