Stage-table Calculations
Hydraulics calculations can often be broken down into stages. A “stage” is described as a specific depth
range to which a single fluid is pumped. A stage table stores flow and depth data describing a sequence of
events over time. In stage-table calculations, the stage table is “played” so that Hydra steps through the
sequence of events and calculates additional data for each event.
