Tarsier Tutorial: Adding GroundWater to Watershed Simulation
From CCoWS Wiki
- Prerequisits
- Watershed analysis saved with all data
- Working Watershed simulation model
- Open Aquifer Tab in Watershed Analysis tool
- Click Calc Floodplain
- Warning: Must have your Net Ptr, HydroDEM, and Stream Raster open in their usee controls.
- This tool creates a raster covering your floodplain according to your set max flood height
- Default max flood height it 1 meter. This should be estimated and changed to suit your watershed.
- Click Calc Floodplain Area
- Warning: Must have your Net Ptr, HydroDEM, and Stream Raster And your floodplain raster open in their usee controls.
- This too breaks up your floodplain and connects a floodplain area with a corresponding node.
- Click Calc Aquifer From Floodplain
- Warning, must have your floodplain raster open, and have calculated floodplain area
- This tool uses a hillslope parameter to estimate triangular aquifer geometry
- The default hillslope is 15 degrees from horizontal, make a good estimation for your watershed.
- Warning, a hillslope less then or equal to zero, or greater or equal to ninety will not work properly.
