SUEWS database pre-migration workbook: database.xlsxLater compilation

Applies to: parameters.state_limit

Where: Pre-migration water_state.yml row 42240047

Stores the not-used Swindon water configuration with StateLimit 1000, WaterDepth 1000 and legacy reference 90240002.

Establishes the exact migrated configuration identity and value only.

SUEWS v2016a release workbook: SUEWS_SiteInfo18_Lo.xlsmLater compilation

Applies to: parameters.state_limit

Where: SUEWS v2016a SUEWS_Water.txt code 551

Code 551 stores StateLimit 1000 and is the Swindon water configuration retained by migration.

Confirms an executable release cell, not a source-published Swindon parameter.

SUEWS v2016a release workbook: SUEWS_SiteInfo18_Lo.xlsmValidation

Where: SUEWS_Water StateLimit guidance

The option table describes StateLimit as a configurable water-body cap and gives only generic examples; it does not establish the exact Swindon value.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
Both artifacts label the configuration Swindon, UK (not used).
Targetsupported
Both artifacts place the cell under the water surface, matching land_cover.water.
Valuessupported
Both artifacts store StateLimit 1000 and WaterDepth 1000 exactly. This supports preservation of an unused configuration cell, not scientific validation as a Swindon parameter.
Sourcesupported
Source unreferenced is correct. The artifacts establish configuration lineage; the linked adjudication found that Ward et al. (2016) did not publish 1000 and that the Swindon setup had zero water fraction.
issue #131
Placesupported
Swindon is the explicit archived application identity, qualified by the not-used label.
Representativenesssupported
City preserves the archived configuration scope; it does not claim that 1000 was measured, derived or applied at Swindon.
Methodsupported
Assumed means that the exact unused configuration cell is retained without a recoverable scientific derivation.
issue #131
Identitysupported
Stable path, legacy ID 42240047, name, origin, StateLimit and WaterDepth preserve the archived not-used configuration identity.

Scientific note

This assessment establishes only that 1000 is the exact archived, not-used Swindon water configuration. It does not establish 1000 as a measured, fitted or literature-supported local parameter. The honest classification is source unreferenced and method assumed; focused human review of assumed records remains appropriate.
