Is it ok for a stream to snap directly to a hydro-junction point feature when doing stormwater preprocessing? And is it ok for that stream to emerge from a pipe outlet point feature by snapping onto it? I am confused by the stormwater workflow manual. To paraphrase it says that all streams must connect to another stream or pipe feature. Then later on in the process it warns to look for streams that connect to sinks.
The confusion for me arises from the fact that the hydro-junctions must be attached to pipes (stormdrains and culverts), therefore the stream must attach to the hydro junction; then those same hydro junctions are modeled as sinks sinks to attract water flow. Yet a stream cant end in a sink unless that is its true representation.
I've tried omitting hydro junctions and pipe outlets form those pipe structures where i know the flow directions, but I still need the sink data modeled for stormwater delineation analysis.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best,
