Impact/Purpose:
Manual for use with SDMProjectBuilder (SDMPB).
Description:
This tutorial reviews screens, icons, and basic functions of the SDMProjectBuilder (SDMPB). It demonstrates how one chooses a 12-digit HUC for analysis, performs an assessment of land-applied microbes by simulating microbial fate and transport using HSPF, and analyzes and visualizes the results at multiple locations in the watershed using BASINS. It shows how to • Initiate the execution of SDMPB.• Navigate the SDMPB.• Identify and label a 12-digit HUC.• Develop the necessary input files to execute HSPF successfully.• Develop the necessary input file to view results from the SDMPB and HSPF.• Register the HSPF simulation with BASINS.• Use HSPF to simulate SDMPB’s problem statement.• View simulation results for flows and microbial densities with BASINS.
