Selecting an Approach and CAVI Setup

There are two basic approaches for computing AFDR leveraging CWMS. The first approach involves using a single forecast run in which HEC-FIA uses internal logic to compute damages and FDR results for each project in a watershed. The second approach uses multiple forecast runs and requires the user to post-process multiple standard HEC-FIA damage alternatives to return FDR results for each forecast run and compile for the final AFDR results. This section includes an overview for these approaches and considerations for selecting each and the recommended CAVI setup.
