Getting Started TSTool Documentation The HydroBase tab can be used to specify the total length of water district identifiers (WDIDs), for use with the HydroBase input type. 1 1 I 1 ® E,;-1 ? X1 General HydroBase WDID Length: I7 Cancel OK Tools _Options HydroBase The WDIDs are used as the location part of the time series identifier. A water district identifier is comprised of a two -digit zero - padded water district (e.g., 01, 2 0) and a zero - padded identifier for structures within the water district. For example, ditch headgates are typically numbered 5 0 0 or greater, within each water district. For modeling purposes, the WDIDs are typically treated as character strings. To allow for distinct and unambiguous identifiers, WDIDs are typically padded with zeros to have consistent overall lengths. In the past, six characters were used for identifiers in model data sets. However, this length is insufficient to handle identifiers in some water districts and therefore the default in TSTool is seven characters. This menu item can be used to set the length if TSTool is being used to create time series and the default length is not compatible with the needed output. The WDID length is enforced when time series are listed. If necessary, the time series identifiers can be edited manually to add or remove padding zeros. 3.10.1 Diagnostics The Tools ...
