Some theory on the use of weir and orifice for the flow calculation are found here: http://documents.irevues.inist.fr/bitstream/handle/2042/25250/0465_239chen.pdf I would propose to simplify the solution described in this paper by using...

@RudyFrom3 It seems to me that those documents are more like general design guidelines that call for a "safety factor", more than the actual occurring clogging, and even less how...

As for representing multiple inlets, creating multiple smaller junctions (see #112) might be the easiest way to do it, instead of setting complex multiple-linking elements.

@RudyFrom3 I agree with you. That is why I was proposing a a "manhole cover" object. See my post above. > However, in reality the lid is usually smaller than...

@RudyFrom3 Maybe one `Node` object could have multiple `nodeOpenning` objects to take into account those cases? But then again, this type of approach implies substantial changes in the swmm code....

Another thing to think about is what happen to the overflow and ponding calculations that are already present in swmm.

I'm working on an implementation. It might take some time before it is functional.

@dickinsonre Thank you for your comment. I think you refer to what is done in `setNodeDepth()`? Why is a surcharged node treated differently? If it is for stability, what would...
