StateCU has been developed to be used in <br />conjunction with TSTooI, StateDMI, and HydroBase. Therefore, it is not necessary to add <br />features such as creating a model area or importing climate data directly to StateCU, which can <br />be accomplished using StateDMI and TSTooI, respectively. <br />Other useful features in IDSCU that are not currently available in StateCU have already been <br />scoped under the SPDSS Phase 3 StateCU Enhancements. These include the following: <br />• Adding a simplified report generator through the GUI that will make it easier to <br />display model input and results and to compare different CU analyses, <br />• Enhancing graphical capabilities through the GUI, <br />• Adding cut and paste capabilities to the GUI to allow input and output data to be <br />easily transferred to and from outside files, <br />• Adding the ASCE Standardized Penman-Monteith daily method to the GUI, <br />• Simplifying the method used to specify the ET method used in each analysis, and <br />Task 62.doc 3 of 4 <br />
