Before linking the HEC-HMS model alternatives, review Chapter 8 on the setting up and calibrating of the HEC-HMS model before beginning the linking process. In this case, Figure 7.6, for the HMS model alternative linking, all data, except for the precipitation from MFP will be extracted from the observed data (extract list). From the Input from column (Figure 7.6) for the LocationInterpolation (first row in the table), from the list, select the correct MFP model alternative (Figure 7.6). Validate the rest of the HMS model alternative linking, the user should be able to see right away the advantage of using consistent/identical location names throughout the system. Click Apply (Figure 7.6) to save the model linking for the HMS model alternative.
