The ''Polygon Properties'' dialog is where the parameters for a polygon in a boundary conditions or hydrograph coverage are defined in a HydroGeoSphere model. Only one type of boundary condition can be assigned to a feature object on a boundary conditions coverage. For hydrograph coverages, "Hydrograph" is the only option available to assign to a feature object.
The ''Polygon Properties'' dialog in the HydroGeoSphere model is where a polygon or polygons can be assigned a boundary condition. There are four options for the polygon properties, which are listed on the left side of the dialog: head, flux, rain, and potential evapotranspiration. The input parameters are shown on the right when one of the four boundary conditions is selected. Only one type of boundary condition can be assigned to a feature object on a boundary conditions coverage.

==Hydrograph, Hydrograph Coverage==
Assigning "hydrograph" to an arc on a hydrograph coverage in a HydroGeoSphere model allows GMS to record hydrograph data during the model run. This requires that "Hydrograph" is set as the parameter for an arc HydroGeoSphere hydrograph coverage, which is done inside the ''Arc Properties'' dialog. The coverage then needs to be added to the simulation. Upon the simulation run, GMS will output detailed flow rate information at each time step for each arc that has been assigned a hydrograph.
* ''Name'' – A descriptive name for the hydrograph, which can be up to 80 characters.
* ''Map to grid boundary'' – Map grid to the boundary of the grid, not the interior.

The Polygon Properties dialog in the HydroGeoSphere model is where a polygon or polygons can be assigned a boundary condition. There are four options for the polygon properties, which are listed on the left side of the dialog: head, flux, rain, and potential evapotranspiration. The input parameters are shown on the right when one of the four boundary conditions is selected. Only one type of boundary condition can be assigned to a feature object on a boundary conditions coverage.

Polygon Properties dialog for the boundary conditions coverage

Head or Flux

Head and flux are two separate available arc property types on a boundary conditions coverage, but the input options available are the same. Head is a general specified head boundary condition, and flux is a general specified flux boundary condition. The input options for head and flux are listed below.

  • Domain – The domain in which the boundary conditions are applied.
    • Porous media
