Manhole report columns include the Node Identifier, Rim Elevation, Load, Storm Flow, Total Storm Flow, Grade, Surcharge Status, occurrence of a hydraulic jump across the node, Unfilled Depth, Surcharged Depth and Quality.

A hydraulic jump occurs when the flow goes from Supercritical flow (Fr > 1) to Subcritical flow (Fr < 1) or from an unstable flow to a stable flow. A hydraulic jump will not occur when a flow goes from subcritical flow (Fr < 1) to a Supercritical flow (Fr > 1), Sewer flags a node as having a jump if the upstream link (at the upstream end of the link) is Supercritical and the downstream link is Subcritical based on the Froude Number.
