Demands for water for human uses can be met from local water sources (surface and ground waters) - see JULES_WATER_RESOURCES. (#1088)

Added option for urban anthropogenic heat flux with diurnal and latitude-dependent annual cycles following the scheme of Flanner (2009) - see anthrop_heat_option. (#1371)

1.2.2. General/Technical changes¶

River storage can be initialised from a 12-month climatological ancillary file (motivated by the needs of LFRic coupled modelling) - see JULES_RIVERS_PROPS. (#1392)
