The water flows downhill through the respective EA reporting points. Reporting location 4 and 5 are at the bottom of the model, furthest from the inflow locations.<br>

The EA benchmark testing original assumed a 50m cell resolution. For the purpose of this assessment a range of cell sizes from 10m to 300m have been used to determine the impact changing cellgrid sizeresolution has on the model result. The following grid resolutions were used:
* 10m resolution (188240 cell count)
* 20m resolution (47080 cell count)
* 50m resolution (7540 cell count)
* 100m resolution (1880 cell count)
* 150m resolution (840 cell count)
* 200m resolution (480 cell count)
 
== Test Case 1 - Results ==
Test results have focused on reporting locations 4 and 5. Their location furthest downstream makes them most sensitive. Any divergence in result due to poor representation of the upstream topography will accumulate, amplifying the result difference associated with a change in cell resolution.
