People:
Mazdak Arabi, Jeff Arnold, Nancy Sammons, Haw Yen, Ryan Bailey, Andre Dozier, Tyler Wible
Discussion:
Landscape routing
- uses topographic index to divide the landscapes
HRU routing
- thinking of having HRUs routed through NHD high datasets or through landscape
Modular code
- hru separated from aquifer
- hrus are still a beast of a code
Water allocation
- Need a day or two to discuss how to add this
- Jeff is rethinking modular code to incorporate multiple water transfers and water users
- Test case in Maui sugar cane plantation
Events
- Can build SWAT as a library (.dll or .so) for people to attach other models so that they don’t have to compile all of the models together as one big executable
- “subscribe” to an event… When the event occurs within the code, code execution is directed through the subscriber’s subroutine, which uses “parm” module to change or use any of the interesting variables within it
Version Control
- Subversion is what USDA uses…
- We are using private repository on JavaForge.net
- Convert older SWAT versions to the integrated version
- Have a set of test cases for systematically testing code changes (get code from Mike that compares SWAT outputs between runs?)
To Do
- Get modular code from Nancy
- Get email of Daniel Moriazi & Jorge Guzman (they are placing GIS maps into SWAT)
- Meet again to discuss water allocation schemes
- Show Nancy how to use “events” as a publish-subscribe method for model integration
- Send links to version control
- Get code from Mike that compares SWAT outputs between trial runs
Andre Dozier is a Ph.D. student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering program at Colorado State University where he also received a B.Sc. (Hons.) degree and M.S. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a concentration in water resources planning and management. He worked as an Engineer in Training at Natural Resources Consulting Engineers, Inc. for three-and-a-half years during his undergraduate and graduate studies, and served either as a Graduate Research Assistant or a Research Fellow on a variety of projects related to water and power systems operations, water rights, irrigation design, artificial intelligence, and climate change funded by the Department of Energy, Hydro Research Foundation, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. His current research deals with citizen science approaches for water management, interdisciplinary model integration and synthesis, optimization, and decision support to investigate water management solutions under uncertainty in climate, population, land use, and energy preferences. He is or has been a member of ASCE, COSHA, IEEE, and iEMSs, and has received a number of awards and scholarships such as the NSF IGERT Fellowship, IEEE PES Student Paper Prize Award in Honor of T. Burke Hayes, Hydro Research Foundation Fellowship, Borland Advanced Graduate Student, and Colorado Distinguished Scholar Award.
