Subject: Re: BASINS 4 Update Nov. 2007 (b4-1107)

Hi,

I have some questions about the latest version of BASINS to be confirmed:

1. HSPF version 12 is packed with BASINS 3.1 before. What about the HSPF in=
=20
the new updated BASINS 4?

2. The HSPF 12 in BASINS 3.1  has a restriction on the total number of=20
operations set at 500. Is there some update with this in the new released=20
BASINS 4?

3. The automatic delineation interface in BASINS 3.1 give the opportunity=20
to remove some outlets to delete very small segments created by the=20
automatic delineation.
     Is there similar function in BASINS 4 for doing this? And, how to do=
 this?

Thank you very much,
Yingmei Liu

Subject: Problems running HSPEXP

--0-1593571783-1196811911=:91549
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello Everybody
 
I am trying to use HSPEXP for the calibration of the hydrological model for the 
portneuf river in Idaho. 
 
I followed the instructions given in the Basins tutorial for downloading 
HSPEXP. Because I am using Windows XP I downloaded HSPEXP 2.4 to the 
C:\Basins\models\HSPEXP subfolder. 
I specified the Time series required by HSPEXP in the project WDM file for the 
Hydrologic Calibration of the specified reach.
From the start menu- programs-usgs- HSPEXP I ran the software.
I created the basin specification file *.exs for my project watershed, 
specifying project WDM as input.
I named the *.exs file the same name as for my project UCI file and saved it. 
It was saved in the user subfolder of the C:\Basins\models\HSPEXP , now for the 
HSPEXP to run the UCI, WDM and EXS files should be in the sam efolder according 
to the tutorial. I copied the WDM and UCI files to the user folder and tried to 
open the project . The program did not open it. 
I copied the batch and exe files to the project folder and started the program 
there as is the case for the tutorial case study project. I created the exs 
file for my project and saved it. It was saved in the project folder. However 
when i tried to open the uci and exs files the program gives a message " The 
specified file is not a valid HSPF UCI file. see File error.fil for more 
information". This specified file "Error.fil" is an empty file.
I tried to save the exs file with a different name but then it is saved with an 
empty uci file and  again I am unable to open the project.
I tried different combinations but I am unable to reopen the exs file that i 
create. Can somebody help?
 
Thanks

Subject: Auto calibration to model

Hello all! I have a question that I can not find the answer to in any  
of the SWAT literature. I am working with AVSWAT-X2005 and have  
successfully auto-calibrated my model and, although I realize that I  
can change the parameters of the original model by editing each HRU,  
is there an easier way to make these changes, especially for  
parameters such as sol_z or sol_AWC that both seem to have many, many  
changes. Also, I am having trouble finding the new values for both of  
these parameters in the calibration folder. If anyone knows of any  
literature that would point me in the right direction, that would help  
a lot as well. Thank you for any advice/help, Jon Franczyk.

Dear Jon,
   
  for this kind of questions you should ask Ann van Griensven
   
  a.vangriensven@unesco-ihe.org
   
  which is the author of the SWAT autocalibration routines. You should also 
find some interesting suggestions about calibration in the Google Groups SWAT

Jon:

If I understand your situation correctly, the answer is no, you cannot perf=
orm global edits for selected HRU parameters in AVSWAT. You can do this wit=
h the newer ArcSWAT interface, but not with the older AVSWAT.

I know several people who have learned this the hard way. You try to make g=
lobal edits on a few selected variables you end up making all of the data f=
or each HRU exactly the same.

If there's another work around solution, I haven't found it.

Subject: Generate input time  series less than 1 hr interval

 Dear BASINS user,
I having a very small watershed which has a time of concentration perhaps less 
than 10 minutes. So 1 hour input (rainfall) is too big so I need to use the 
time interval about 15 minutes or 5 minutes. So which scripts in WDMUTIL shall 
I use to generate the time series of input data less than 1 hour. Is there any 
document that describes how to make the script for the BASINS.

Thanks a lot,
Krispin

Subject: Calibrating AVSWAT

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone has used the automatic calibration  
tool in AVSWAT-X2005 and then was able to apply the new parameter  
values to the original model? I have autocalibrated my model as well  
as I think I can, but I cant find the new values for some of the  
parameters I modified, such as sol_z and Sol_AWC. I have looked in the  
autocalibration folder that was created and it has the new files  
created by the autocalibration but it also has old files from the  
origional runs. I feel like I have run the model and autocalibration  
correctly, I just cant find the actual changes to some of the  
parameters so that I can edit the origional model and make the output  
match the observed. I feel like I have looked in every file/folder  
created. Thanks for any help, Jon

Hello
   
  I am trying to execute PEST for calibration of HSPF model for Portneuf river

prepared by the TSPROC module except for the template file which I created

  1. When I give the command 'pestcheck case1' to check the pest control file 
case1.pst, i recieve the message ' pestcheck is not recognized as an internal

environment. 
   
  2. when I rum the pest without doing a pestcheck it runs and  but does not 
completely go to execution  by giving an error  that says  ' cannot open model 
output file model.out.' model.out is the nam eof the output file that i have 
assigne din the TSPROC input file. 
   
  I am trying to execute it in the dos command prompt. Can you please help?

Hi:

 

I am not too familiar with Basins, but am familiar with PEST. First, note
that pestchek is spelled without a "c" - it is an eight letter named
executable (long story there!).

 

If this does not solve the problem, and your path variable is for some
reason not finding the PEST folders and utilities, try downloading the
latest PEST from www.sspa.com/pest, unzipping, and getting the latest copy
of pestchek, to place in your run directory. That should solve problem #1. 

 

For problem #2, it sounds like the model is not executing. Possibly, this is
because of a convergence issue, but more likely there is a problem with the
set up of the PEST files and/or model batch file that PEST executes, so the
model is not running, and the output file that PEST is expecting is
therefore not present. Check the run directory for the PST file, and the
BATCH file that PEST is attempting to execute, and then step through the
sequence of executables in that BATCH file, to see if each executes without
difficulty. I expect you will find that one or more of them does not, for
some reason.

 

Regards - Matt

Subject: [basinsinfo] PEST Execution

 

Hello

 

I am trying to execute PEST for calibration of HSPF model for Portneuf river
basin. I am using "swutils" with PEST where  the input files for PEST are
prepared by the TSPROC module except for the template file which I created
manually. TSPROC created the control file for PEST. However there are some
problems in executing the program: 

 

1. When I give the command 'pestcheck case1' to check the pest control file
case1.pst, i recieve the message ' pestcheck is not recognized as an
internal or external command ' though I have added th ePEST folder into the
path environment. 

 

2. when I rum the pest without doing a pestcheck it runs and  but does not
completely go to execution  by giving an error  that says  ' cannot open
model output file model.out.' model.out is the nam eof the output file that
i have assigne din the TSPROC input file. 

 

I am trying to execute it in the dos command prompt. Can you please help?

 

Thanks

Just a note on the response below - although this used to be a restriction,
I don't think that the file name length, in this instance, is the source of
your problem. I am not very familiar with BASINS though I have used it in
the past, but I suspect the DOS environment that it launches to execute
system commands is fairly recent. The newer versions of DOS will recognize
file names longer than 8 characters (this restriction no longer applies) and
recent versions of PEST are programmed to recognize names up to a couple
hundred characters in length. 

 

Good luck - Matt

I do not know HSPF or PEST or TSPROC or swutils but have had similar
problems with other programs; especially from the DOS prompt.  DOS does NOT
recognize long file names, that is file names longer than 8 characters.  You
may need to find a way ro execute your command from within the HSPF program,
of you can.

 

good luck

Subject: [basinsinfo] PEST Execution

 

Hello

 

I am trying to execute PEST for calibration of HSPF model for Portneuf river
basin. I am using "swutils" with PEST where  the input files for PEST are
prepared by the TSPROC module except for the template file which I created
manually. TSPROC created the control file for PEST. However there are some
problems in executing the program: 

 

1. When I give the command 'pestcheck case1' to check the pest control file
case1.pst, i recieve the message ' pestcheck is not recognized as an
internal or external command ' though I have added th ePEST folder into the
path environment. 

 

2. when I rum the pest without doing a pestcheck it runs and  but does not
completely go to execution  by giving an error  that says  ' cannot open
model output file model.out.' model.out is the nam eof the output file that
i have assigne din the TSPROC input file. 

 

I am trying to execute it in the dos command prompt. Can you please help?

 

Thanks

Subject: RE: PEST Execution

Mansoor,

1)  Use the command "pestchek" (no "c" before the k).

2)  Model.out may not exist of HSPF did not run correctly, that is you may
have everything set up correctly in your TSPROC files and the problem may
be with HSPF execution.  Try running your simulation directly from the DOS
prompt using XHSPFX (the DOS executable HSPF used by PEST).  You will need
to have a ".sup" file to feed to it, hopefully you can make one manually
if PEST did not create one.  Once XHSPFX runs, take a look at your ".ech"
files to see if there are any errors.  For example, just this week I had a
problem similar to yours- I did my calibrations for 10 years then tried a
50 year simulation.  The supplementary file ".sup" contained the
calibrated parameters from the 10 year PEST calibration.  So to run a 50
year simulation I extended the date range in the UCI and ran XHSPFX,
feeding it the UCI and the ".sup" file.

Problem- I had not prepared my WDM files for record lengths of 50 years,
they had all been set up for the 10 year calibration.  So XHSPFX tanked on
me, but by exploring the echo file I saw the error was due to problems
with the WDM- and of course, no model.out file had been created.  Once I
tweaked the WDM it worked like a charm.  Point is- sometimes there are
minor problems with the UCI/HSPF that can cause TSPROC and PEST to tank,
so check to make sure your UCI file is OK and works with a ".sup" file,
any problems here will prevent creation of the model.out file(s).

Hope this helps and Good luck!

Lara,

There's a beta version of the Google Geocoder in the current MapWindow
4.5release candidate installer (
mapwindow.org/download.php), or you can download the plugin DLL directly
here:

https://svn.mapwindow.org/svnroot/InstallationProjects/4.5/MapWindow%20Applicati
on%20INNO%20Setup/Source/GeoCoder/GeoCoder.dll

Just paste this DLL in you BASINS/bin/Plugins folder. It's use is relatively
self-explanatory, though if you have any questions please feel free to
contact me. In fact since this is a test version, any suggestions on
improvements would be appreciated.

Hello,
=20
I am wondering if anyone (else) on this list perhaps may be an European BAS=
INS user? I would love to get in contact with someone with experience from =
using the BASINS system outside of the US.
(Sorry if this breaks any laws concerning this listserv, but I've tried goo=
gling without much luck, so this is my last shot...)
=20
Sincerely,
Emma, Sweden
