General Description
The Basic Pond model is used in the Dynamic mode to emulate an Evaporation Pond. The user has the option to divide the pond into two layers, a bed where most of the solids settle and a clarified liquor layer for liquids, or consider the pond as a single layer. In any case, the concentration of the pore liquid in the bed layer and the concentration of the supernatant pond liquid is always equal and in equilibrium with the solids.

Preset tab page
The Preset page contains a Copy to Clipboard button which copies the current temperature, pressure and composition of the Preset to the clipboard for pasting into external programs such as Excel.
This page is used to set the required composition of the Pond when it is Preset. This is identical in functionality to the DSp page used in Feeders.
