1. From the Modeling Linking Editor, from the Model to Link list select RAS-Base for Real Time forecasting. The Model Linking Editor table updates and displays all of the locations for the RAS model alternative that need to be linked. The current linking that is displayed is the HEC-RAS linking for the standalone model.

  2. RAS model alternative linking will be the results from the HMS and ResSim model alternatives.
    • There are two locations in the RAS linking that need to be linked to the ResSim model alternative:
      • For the Russian CoyoteToDC RS 527387.7 (Lake Mendocino O) row, ResSim-calibrate should be changed from default (Lake Mendocino-Pool - Outflow) to Lake Mendocino Outflow JCT - Flow.
      • For the DryCreek DryCreek RS 74716.8 (Sonoma Outflow J) row, ResSim-calibrate should be changed from default (Lake Sonoma-Pool - Outflow) to Lake Sonoma Outflow JCT - Flow.
  3. Refer to the printout (RussianRiverLinking.pdf; located in a folder titled RussianRiver_Data) for the linking for each of the model alternatives.

  4. Once the linking is finished for the RAS model alternative, from the Model Linking Editor click , this will save the linking.
  5. That completes the linking for the Without Project Conditions-RR_Feb1986 simulation. Close the the Model Linking Editor and return to the HEC-WAT main window.
