District Control with ID Override

Storm Drain Inlets and Pumps direct any storm water that is collected to Underground Detention Basins within the same district first, and then to Gravity Storm Drain Outlets and SD Force Main Outlets in the same district once the Detention Basins have reached 80% filled. Anything not included in a district is actually in District 0.District control for the storm drain assets allows you to direct which inlets and pumps drain to which outlets and/or detention basin. This allows you to simulate drainage districts that flow to specific ponds, canals, etc. If you want to drain a section of water into a dry basin then you can control that by putting the inlet or pump within the same district as the outlet. The problems you may encounter with this is that you may need to design your districts in order to accommodate having their own outlets. The easiest way to accommodate this is by utilizing canals or drainage ditches and having districts on either side of it with at least one outlet per district. Another method is to have a pond with at least one outlet and and an inlet that is not in any district (district 0) which will connect the pond to another outlet downstream.Storm Drain Inlets and Pumps direct any storm water that is collected to Underground Detention Basins first, and then to Storm Drain Outlets once the Detention Basins have reached 80% filled.Having district control off simplifies the storm drain system down to about the same level as a standard cities skylines service. All inlets and pumps are connected to all outlets and detention basins. The problem you may encounter with this is that you cannot control which outlet water will come out from once it enters an inlet.Allows you to connect storm drain assets into groups based off a common building id that you can set when you click on each asset and change its name. The default names cannot be used as group names for that asset.This combines the best aspects of the two systems. It uses ID control whenever the name of the asset does not match the default, and district control when the name is the default.
