<br />.... <br /> <br />. OS.lS12 <br /> <br />HYDROLOGIC MODELS INVENTORY <br /> <br />EVALUATION FORM <br /> <br />NAME OF MODEL: WAT80 <br />. <br /> <br />FUNCTION: Water requirements computations on large blocks of land using <br />cropping patterns and climatic data. <br /> <br />AGENCY & OFFICE: USBR - PN Regional Office, Boise, Idaho <br /> <br />TECHNJ:CAL CONTACT: Jerry Buchheim (PN 405) <br /> <br />503-773-2002 <br />FTS-554-1153 <br /> <br />MACHINE COMPATIBILITY: IBM PC Compatible with DOS using BASIC A <br />interpreter. Version also available written in FORTRAN IV. <br /> <br />DOCUMENTATION: WMC Reference manual (October l8, 1984) including input field <br />descriptions and schematics showing interactive computation methods. The <br />WAT80 program is one of 29 modular programs within the WMC computer program <br />system. <br /> <br />SPATIAL PRECISION: Multiple control points, representing irrigated lands <br />configured as districts, canal systems, lateral systems within one climatic <br />area". <br /> <br />TEMPORAL PRECISION: Daily - Limited to a maximum of 15 days new data per <br />update throughout season on near real-time basis. <br /> <br />OVERVIEW OF CAPABILITIES, ASSUMPTIONS: This computer package is designed to <br />be run from menus to allow ease of operation. The WAT80 model focuses on <br />computing daily, weekly, monthly or seasonal water requirements for large or <br />small areas where rainfall may contribute significantly to the crop <br />consumptive use. <br /> <br />STRENGTHS: Currently extensively used in GCCRP Rogue River Basin studies. <br /> <br />WEAKNESSES: Limited use and demonstration during first six years after <br />development. <br /> <br />INPUT REQUIREMENTS: Formatted climatic and agronomic data <br /> <br />OUTPUT PRODUCED: Water Requirement output in "printout" or file form for <br />selected control points. <br /> <br />1-14 <br /> <br />..... <br />
