Overview

In this tutorial you will add observed flow and view results for a hydrologic element.

Steps

  1. From the Components menu, select Time-Series Data Manager
  2. For Data Type, select Discharge Gages
  3. Select New... to create a new discharge gage
  4. Name the gage PNXP and create
  5. Open the component editor for the discharge gage PNXP. For DSS Filename, select /Punxsutawney/data/observe.dss. For the DSS pathname, select the FLOW record at location PNXP.
    Time-Series Gage Component Editor
  6. Open the component editor for Junction-2
  7. Select the Options tab
  8. For observed flow, select the PNXP discharge gage:
  9. Compute the simulation Run: May 1996
  10. View results at Junction-2. You should notice an observed time-series (black dotted line):

Summary

In this tutorial an observed flow record was as a discharge gage, then linked the discharge gage to a basin element as observed flow. Observed flow was viewed in relation to other element results.
