MIKE URBAN

• Collection System: My MIKE URBAN Flood setup, which was running in 2011 version, does not run any longer because of Error 1319: The difference between the surface in MIKE 21 and the invert of outlet 'xxx' is greater than the allowed difference 0,1. See the MOUSE-Mike21.log for more details.
