public HashMap createVariables(); // Defines
net.simplace.simulation.model.FWSimComponent

Create the FWSimVariables as interface for this SimComponent

protected void init(); // Defines
net.simplace.simulation.model.FWSimComponent

Initialises the fields by getting input and output FWSimVariables from VarMap

protected void process(); // Defines
net.simplace.simulation.model.FWSimComponent

Process the algorithm and write the results back to VarMap

protected double EvaporationReduction();

Calculates K_r. Allen et al (1998) specifies K_r = 1 when soil surface is wet, which also the case here, as when WM > 0, WR = FC, and therefore D_e will be zero.

protected FWSimComponent clone(FWSimVarMap aVarMap);
// Defines net.simplace.simulation.model.FWSimComponent

creates a clone from this SimComponent for use in other threads
