Water use manual profile — When not used evidence record unreferenced

Provenance evidence

Agent assessed

Assumed · assessed by provenance-audit · 2026-08-24. Agent assessment is evidence preparation, not human verification.

SUEWS v2016a release workbook: SUEWS_SiteInfo18_Lo.xlsmLater compilation

Where: SUEWS v2016a SUEWS_Profiles.txt, code 999 Not used row

Stores 24 -999 sentinel cells for the explicit Not used profile.

Where: Pre-migration profiles.yml, row 60240014

Types the migrated row as Water use (manual), names it When not used, and preserves the 24 sentinels.

Surface Urban Energy and Water Balance Scheme (SUEWS): Development and evaluation at two UK sitesValidation

Where: Section 3.2, irrigation set to zero, p. 6

Establishes application context for disabling irrigation, not a parameter source for the empty profile.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
When not used is the migrated display identity for an explicit disabled profile whose legacy cells are all -999 sentinels.
Targetsupported
The migrated row is typed as Water use (manual) and attaches to the SUEWS 24-hour manual water-use slot; Ward et al. confirm that irrigation was set to zero in the application.
Valuesnot applicable
The record deliberately contains no active parameters. Its 24 legacy -999 cells are preserved sentinels, not numerical manual-water-use inputs.
Sourcesupported
Unreferenced is correct because this is a configuration adapter rather than a published parameter profile. Ward et al. provide application/validation context only.
issue #182
Placenot applicable
Representativenessnot applicable
Methodsupported
Assumed records the deliberate choice to disable the optional profile; no measurement, fitting, literature transfer or calculation produced an active value.
Identitysupported
The stable path, target, attachment, profile type, name, legacy ID and sentinel cells preserve the distinct pre-migration configuration row without promoting the sentinels to active data.

Scientific note

This record is a retained configuration adapter for an optional SUEWS profile. It exports no active parameter and claims no literature value. The v2016a and pre-migration artifacts prove its disabled identity; Ward et al. only confirm why irrigation was disabled in that application.
