state_limit | 30000 |
| Name | supported The historical V2016a water row labels the entry London (River Thames), UK, matching the preserved name and legacy identity. |
|---|---|
| Target | supported StateLimit is a water-surface state parameter, matching the land_cover.water target. |
| Values | supported The fixed V2016a London water row stores StateLimit 30000 exactly. The separate legacy WaterDepth cell is 20000 and remains preserved without being treated as the current parameter. |
| Source | not applicable No publication was found that states or derives 30000. The value is an explicit legacy configuration assumption, so source unreferenced is honest and avoids attributing it to Ward et al. issue #130 |
| Place | supported The V2016a entry and its London configuration identify the River Thames in London. |
| Representativeness | supported Site is appropriate for a value attached to one named river rather than to every water surface across London. |
| Method | supported The V2016a manual advises using a substantial generic state limit for rivers, while the London configuration chooses 30000. This is an application assumption rather than a measured or fitted parameter. |
| Identity | supported Legacy row 42240057 uniquely preserves the London River Thames configuration entry and its distinction between StateLimit 30000 and WaterDepth 20000. |
The exact value is configuration evidence, not a literature parameter. The fixed V2016a row at https://github.com/UMEP-dev/SUEWS/blob/a665422686c8464f7829aa16a46134331e0c04af/test/fixtures/legacy_format/2016a/Input/SUEWS_Water.txt#L5 stores StateLimit 30000 for London (River Thames), UK. Ward et al. do not publish that value. The record therefore remains a stable migration entry but now declares source unreferenced and method assumed rather than assigning the configuration choice to the application paper.
