The next step is to have the models of a simulation communicate with each other. This is accomplished by linking (DSS mapping) the models thru DSS and using a simulation name. From HEC-WAT, the Model Linking Editor provides an easy way to link models including observed data, and provides a mechanism where the linking will have to be done once per alternative.
Open the editor from the HEC-WAT main window. from the WAT Tools toolbar, by clicking the Model Linking Editor button . The Model Linking Editor opens. From the Simulation list the user will need to select a simulation. For this example the user will be selecting the Without Project Conditions-RR_Feb1986 (default) simulation.
Now let's link the individual model alternatives that are part of the selected simulation as described in the following sections.
