That being the case it is important that you consider what total head is required to achieve the modeling objectives and what flow rates you may require. Once you have an idea on any limits in total head you can start to research an appropriate pump and then extract the performance curve that is often incorporated as part of the technical specifications. An example is shown below. <br>

==Creating a TUFLOW pump curve==▼
The use of pump curves within TUFLOW requires a 2015 or later build due to a previous bug within the 2013 build. The setup of the Depth Discharge database for a pump curve is similar to reading in inflow hydrographs, hyetographs etc, that is; a source .csv, and the two corresponding headings within the 3rd and 4th column. <br>

▲==Creating a TUFLOW pump curve==
Although reading in the depth discharge database is the same process as other boundary conditions within TUFLOW, the curve itself is fundamentally different as you no longer need to start the csv file with 0,0.<br>
