Summary tables of exchangeable items between MIKE SHE and Python

Table 14.2 is an overview of MIKE SHE items that can be exchanged as input with Python. The dimension may change for input items depending on the selected option for the item in the MIKE SHE interface. The unit may also change depending on the option selected in File->Options->Edit Unit Base Groups.
