Simulation settings
===================

Name

.. code-block:: toml

    name =  "My simulation"

Starting date
-------------

Spinup settings
---------------

Since the inertia of a hydrological system can be significant, the computation
of the first simulated values strongly depends on the hydro-climatic conditions
of the previous years. To avoid problems that could emerge from this, it is
possible to take into account some spinup years before the starting of the
simulation.
