| Course Description |
| |
This course is an introduction to RiverWare's most commonly used solution modules and to many of its utilities, output features and diagnostics. It is an abbreviated version of two three-day, in-depth, modeling courses; it meets the needs of people wishing to become familiar with RiverWare's capabilities at a fairly technical level.
You will learn how to build a model of the rivers, reservoirs, hydro plants, and other features of your basin, and to simulate the physical processes by selecting from a large number of alternative methods to tailor the simulation to your modeling needs. An introduction to the rulebased simulation solver and RiverWare's Policy Language and editor will be followed by an engaging group exercise in converting a basin's operating policy into a ruleset. We will demonstrate how to run the model, use diagnostics and run analysis tools, and view the results through plots, reports and special policy analysis tools. You will configure and build a system control table, a spreadsheet-like view of the data that provides easy access to editing and running the model. We will demonstrate the use of the Data Management Interface to automatically import and export data, and the Multiple Run Manager that automates the simulation of ensembles and produces probabilistic results.
Special meetings and sessions can be arranged to answer your modeling
questions or discuss your particular modeling needs. Please let us know in advance (see Notifications and Questions below) if you would like to schedule a special session to discuss
the application of RiverWare to a particular basin.
