To use the Draw Network method:

• Choose Draw Network from the Available Methods drop-down menu;
• Click Load Sub-catchment Map and open the desired sub-catchment raster file;
• Click and drag on the map to create a stream network by specifying the direction of flow between sub-catchments. Ensure a connection is also made from the lower-most sub-catchment to a point outside the sub-catchment.This is the catchment outlet, highlighted with a circle in Figure 4.
• Click Next once the network includes every sub-catchment and a corresponding outlet. You can rename the sub-catchments in the table under the Sub-catchment button.

...

Additional buttons under Load Sub-catchment Map assist you in adding further detail to the network map. Load Gauge Map and Load Background Maps allow you to upload a shape file of gauges or an image like a stream flow map to assist in drawing the node-link network. Add Links from Shp file allows you to load a shape file of links that is then mapped to the sub-catchment map automatically.

...

Enter a list of constituents that are of interest and which you wish to model. If you do not enter any constituents, the wizard does not display any steps that are constituent-related, ie. the constituent generation, filter assignment and filter parameterisation steps appear greyed out. Examples of constituents are total nitrogen (often abbreviated as TN), total suspended sediment (TSS), heat, dissolved oxygen, radioisotope tracers, etc.

...

You can also add constituents after a scenario is set up using Edit » Constituents, which opens the Configure Constiuents dialog (Figure) Configure Constituents dialog. Refer to Defining constituents for more detail. To add a constituent, type its abbreviation in the Name field and either click Add or press the carriage return. To remove a constituent, highlight it and click Delete.

...

You must specify all possible functional units present in the area of interest, or that you want to represent in the scenario. There are three ways of defining FUs: manually, from a text file, or from a shape file (Figure 1366).

Figure 6. Manually adding functional units

Image Added

The default method of defining FUs is manually. To add a FU, type it in the Name field, and either click Add or press carriage return. To remove a FU, highlight it and click Delete.

You can import FU names from a text file by choosing Import from a text file from the Available Methods Available Methods drop-down menu. The format of the text file is shown in Figure 67.

You can also import FU names from a shape file:

• Choose Specify from a Shapefile from the Available Methods Available Methods drop-down menu.
• Click Load to upload a shape file that has been configured with a field for FU types.
• Select the layer from the list and click Create. A list of FU names is generated in the right hand pane. The shape file used to define FU types will also be used to assign the areas to each FU in each sub-catchment.

...

• Choose Manual Area Allocation from the Available Methods drop-down menu;
• For each sub-catchment, enter the area that is allocated to each FU. You can specify this as an absolute value in the Area (ha) column, or as a percentage in the Area (%) column; and
• You may enter the areas individually, or use the Apply-to options to fill multiple cells at once. This is explained in detail in the Using the Apply-to options section. You can also copy values from one cell and paste into other cells. Right-click on the source cell (the one you want to copy) and choose Copy. Then, right-click on the target cell, and choose Paste. The resulting table is shown in Figure 7.8.

Figure 8. Assign areas to functional units

When assigning FU areas manually using the Map tab, you can view the entire catchment and its outlines. FU areas can be assigned as follows:

...

If the areal percentages per sub-catchment, do not sum to 100%, the percentage cell turns pale red (to indicate an error) for that sub-catchment. In Figure 89, SC # 1 (Urban FU), the area percentage should be 50, not 5. The error applies only to SC#1, so the cell for SC#2 is not pale red.

Figure 810 shows the correct areal percentages for SC#1.

You can assign areas to multiple FUs simultaneously, using the Apply-to options on the right of the screen. This is useful when you have a large number of sub-catchments, each containing several FUs.

...

• Click Load to upload a raster file;
• If the land use map does not include a mapping of grid code to land use, click Assign Mapping;
• In the resulting window, assign a FU to each grid code using the drop-down menu in the FU column (Figure 911); and
• Click OK to close the Match FU Definitions to Raster window.

For each sub-catchment, the FU areas MUST add to 100% (+/- 0.1%). If areas do not sum to 100%, cells in the Area column will be shaded pale red. An exclamation mark will also appear on the left side of the first column.

Rainfall runoff models (Steps 7-9)

The next 3 steps involve configuring the rainfall runoff models for every FU/sub-catchment combination. Refer to Assign rainfall runoff models for details on completing these steps. Click Next or Back to navigate between them.

...

Here you configure the constituent generation models for each FU/sub-catchment//constituent combination. Configuring constituent models provides details on how to do this.

...

You now assign a filter model for each FU/sub-catchment//constituent combination. Filtering models represent for example, the effects of riparian filter strips, artificial wetlands, farm dams and similar management treatments. Fluxes from each FU can be passed through separate "filters". Refer to Configuring filter models for more details.

Assign link models (Step 14)

Just as FUs are assigned models in sub-catchments, you must also assign models to links (Figure 10). In this step, you assign each link a routing model. You can also assign an in-stream processing model for every defined constituent.

Image Removed

To assign a routing model to a link, click on the link and choose a routing model from the routing model drop-down menu. You can use the Apply-to options to apply the same link model to other links in the network. Figure 10 shows the available routing and in-stream processing models. To assign in-stream processing models to the links, click on the desired link, and choose the appropriate model from the drop-down menu in the Model column. Click Edit... to configure parameters for each of storage routing only. Lag routing will need to be parameterised at the next step.

For details on the available routing and in-stream processing models, see the Source Scientific Reference Guide. The items in the contextual menu have the same function as that described in the network definition step.

Click Apply To All to apply the configured settings to all links.

To check which model has been assigned to a link, click on the link. The link model will be displayed in the Routing model pull-down list. Click Next when the desired models have been assigned to all links.

Parameterise link models (Step 15)

To assign parameter sets to link models, select the link that was assigned a model in the previous step. Then, using the Parameters drop down list, follow the same process used for rainfall runoff and constituent generation models to generate parameter sets (Figure 143).

14).

This functionality is yet to be documented, if you would like assistance please call 1300-5-WATER (1300-592-837). Relevant to GWLag Pluginstep allows you to assign models to an entire catchments. It generally applies to catchments that model, for example, groundwater (for the GWLag Plugin).

Assigning nodes and links

The default node type in Source is a confluence node, where the inputs to the node are the upstream sub-catchment outlets, and the output from the node is the current sub-catchment outletthe node is the current sub-catchment outlet. Similarly, straight through routing is the default link type in Source. To change the node model or link type, right click on the confluence node in the Geographic Editor, then choose Change Node Model or the link type respectively, from the contextual menu. This For nodes, this lists all the model types available. Choose the required model.

Using the Apply-to options

This technique can be replicated for other Apply-to options available in the wizard. It can be used to:

• Assign a single value to all FUs across all sub-catchments;
• Assign a single value to all FUs in a particular sub-catchment (eg 50% of the total area is assigned to each FUs in sub-catchment #9);
• Assign a single value to all FUs of a certain type (across all sub-catchments); or
• Re-allocate FU areas by value or percentage. For example, if you have already specified that 50% of each sub-catchment is of FU type "Forest", and 50% is of type "Urban", you could model increases in urban encroachment by specifying Auto-increase by 5%, all FUs of type "Urban" at the expense of all FUs of type "Forest". See Figure 14512.

Ensure that the percentage values for each sub-catchment sum to 100% prior to re-allocating FU areas.

Editing scenarios

Once a scenario has been created it can be edited using the Edit menu.

The Edit menu gives you access to all the elements of a scenario that can be modified. Refer to the Constituents and  and Rainfall runoff models chapters for  for further details.
