6. 2 12 Wetland Routing Bank Storage Model The design of the wetland routing routine is based on the work of McKillop 1997 The wetland routing routine has been provided in McKillop s Appendix B 1 Any water within the channel is routed using channel routing and any water in wetland storage is routed using wetland routing The interaction between the wetland and the channel is governed by the Dupuis Forchheimer discharge formula as described by Bear 1979 _ kcond qo wet gt Mm h2 2 43 2 wet gt cha gt Jan 2014 2 20 where qowet is the lateral wetland outflow in cubic meters per second kcond is the hydraulic conductivity in meters per second hwet is the height of water in the wetland in meters hcha is the height of water in the channel in meters The wetland outflow is positive if it is from the wetland into the channel and turns negative if the channel feeds the wetland In the model qowet is the outflow per km of channel wetland interface so Eq 2 43 is multiplied by 2 gridlength Figure 2 5 graphically illustrates the hydrologic interaction of the wetland and the channel evaporation ipitati i evaporation qswev qloss precipitation qswrain p q p aeii qint WETLAND CHANNEL baseflow qlz Figure 2 5 Hydrologic interaction between the wetland and the channel During wetland storage routing the lateral inflow qin contributing to total channel inflow 1 from equation 2 40 is re
7. Anderson 1973 outlines the do s and don ts when using optimization and his comments are adopted to the present case a Select initial values for each parameter Parameters from previously calibrated watershed are a very good start Average river roughness can be used b Simulate the entire calibration data period and look for obvious problems Perhaps the rainfall is very spotty and the gauge record does not represent the rainfall field very well Such events are useless for calibration A very good check on the precipitation is to perform a run for the calibration period and animate the precipitation in GreenKenue In GreenKenue plot the cummulative precipitation for the run and check for unrealistic patterns Jan 2014 4 18 c d e Perform a trial and error calibration of the model This gives an indication how sensitive the model is to the various parameters Use IOPT 1 debug level and look at the output in RESULTS RFFnn txt where nn is the class number 1 9 All state variables and some fluxes for each class in the designated debug grids are written to this file and you can check if the processes are being modeled properly You can see where the water goes You can change any parameter in the parameter file including those not included in the automatic optimization Grapher templates are available contact kouwen uwaterloo ca Trial and error e Adjust Manning s n R2n so the hydrograph peaks coincide in
8. Initial soil moisture amounts amounts are distributed over the watershed using a distance weighting method identical to the rainfall distribution application The program separates soil moisture by land cover classes The input files are basin bsnm_shd r2c and moist yyyymmdd_psm pt2 and the output file is moist yyymmdd_gsm r2c The event file is used to get these file names For details please see Section 5 2 Note The extent of the swe and gsm files is the same as the size of the domain in the shd file 1 5 6 Distribute Temperature Data TMP Required only if the snowmelt or evaporation routines are invoked TMP creates a file using the tempglyyymmdd tag tb0 file with point temperatures and distributes temperature using a distance weighting method to each grid in the domain The input files are basin bsnm pdl and tempr yyyymmdd_tag tb0 and the output file is tempr yyymmdd_tem r2c The event file is used to get these file names Note The extents of the met and tem files are determined by the values given in the bsnm pdl file The domain for the met amp tem files can be larger than the domain of the shd file For details please see Chapter 0 1 5 7 Run SPL9 SPL There are two versions of SPL9 SPLD and SPLX They are the same except that SPLD is compiled to run in the DEBUG mode It will provide error messages pointing to problems in the code SPLD is slow in execution SPLX is compiled for maximum execution speed but provides Jan

NEW Jan 2014 NOTE The use of the Hargreaves equation is currently under revision to use the new Hargreavs and Samani 1985 method Jan 2014 2 9 2 4 Actual Evapotranspiration by T Neff 2 4 1 Soil Moisture Coefficient Up to three coefficients have been applied to reduce the calculated PET to the AET The first coefficient the Upper Zone Storage Indicator UZSI estimates the evapotranspiration as a function of the soil moisture UZS Evapotranspiration is assumed to occur at the potential rate if the soil moisture is at a level of saturation SAT since the PET equations have been shown to provide accurate estimates under these conditions The rate of evapotranspiration is reduced to a fraction of the potential evapotranspiration for values of soil moisture below the saturation down to zero at the permanent wilting point PWP The fraction is calculated by interpolating the soil moisture between the soil moisture capacity at saturation and the permanent wilting point at 1 0 and 0 respectively That is 5 UZS an 2 15 UZSI ____ ls PWP The root of the fraction is used to simulate the increased difficulty with which moisture is extracted by vegetation as the soil dries WATFLOOD does not calculate the percent soil moisture instead the model calculates the moisture in the upper layer of soil as a depth of water the Upper Zone Storage UZS During the calibration of the model the value of the field capacity

30. Routing Figure 1 1 Group response unit and runoff routing concept Donald 1992 Figure 1 2 shows an array of grids where each grid may have a different makeup of land cover fractions The essential property of this arrangement is that the parameters are associated with the land cover classes A B C and D All grids in this method have the same hydrological parameters even though the land cover makeup of each grid is not the same The advantages of this scheme are 1 the parameters can be used in other physiographically similar watersheds without recalibration and 2 the parameters do not have to be recalibrated 1f land use in the watershed changes over time For the latter only the land cover map and the fractions in each grid need to be redefined While in the literature the debate about computing runoff from ungauged watersheds continues the GRU method offers the best hope for doing so correctly Given the DEM and a landcover map parameters for the land covers present will be available from gauged watersheds The important point is that with the GRU method the parameters are not associated with the makeup of the relative amounts of each land cover One important requirement for the model is that it is a necessity to always model a goodly number of watersheds simultaneously whether they be nested or not The number will depend on the number of land covers present The greater the number of land covers the greater the need for a

AK will be optimized if IOPT gt 1 Often during optimization some parameter values will drift to their limits It is important that the limits be reasonable For instance in forests if the permeability is set so low that all rainfall Jan 2014 4 20 becomes surface runoff the value has to be wrong because most rainfall if not all is infiltrated So actually there is not much point optimizing AK for a forest class just make sure all rain infiltrates For AKFS you may want to have a lower value as there can be frozen soil impeding infiltration during the melt period When optimizing parameters it is a good idea to gradually extend the limits if it is found that the parameters are drifting to the limits However this should be done manually all the while checking that the processes are properly modeled This can be checked by setting NUMA 0 and IOPT 1 line 1 Optimization data is written to the results opt txt file and can be used to plot the error versus iteration number for each of the parameters optimized This will show the progress of the optimization Ideally the parameters do not drift to the specified limits 4 5 2 2 Error Criterion The optimization criterion is to minimize the normalized RMS error of the flows The total error is calculated by RMS 1 Meanflow where n is the number of streamflow stations used for comparison 4 5 2 3 Error calculation A provision is made to select the stations to inclu

222. h grid is calculated and routed downstream With this method there is no requirement for grids or sub basins to be hydrologically homogeneous So the grid size can be chosen to conveniently match the resolution of the meteorological data or reflect the detail required in the model output Figure 1 1 shows the above concept In this example a land cover image is classified into 4 hydrologically significant groups A B C and D There are 25 pixels with 8 in group A 11 in group B 2 in group C and the remaining 4 in group D i e 32 in group A 44 in group B 8 in group C and 16 in group D WATFLOOD combines all pixels in one group for computational purposes The pixels of one group do not have to be contiguous and their location in the grid is not considered significant with respect to routing The runoff from a grouped set of pixels is routed by a two step procedure first overland flow to the channel system and second channel flow to the next grid For the grid in Fig 1 1 there are four hourly runoff computations and four overland flow routing segments The flows are then combined for the grid It is as if there are four sub watersheds in this grid in a pie shaped configuration with each segment contributing runoff according to its Jan 2014 1 3 percent coverage The four runoff amounts are added in each grid and routed downstream from grid to grid Group Response Unit Physically Based to deal with basin heterogeneity Streamflow
