Using Hydrology Processing Events
The hydrology-related events link to one another, but not to other types of events. Their purpose is to create traces of hydrology data that can be moved into RiverWare through a separately configured RiverWare DMI event. Generating hydrologies can be time-consuming, and once configured properly, these events are not typically rerun unless some input data has changed.
Note: For hydrology events to execute successfully, the R Project for Statistical Computing must be installed on your computer; see Install R and Component Packages for details.
To execute a hydrology event, right-click the event and select one of the execution options from the shortcut menu. You can execute just the selected event, all previous linked events up to and including the selected event, or all events after the selected event. These options provide flexibility for executing a linked hydrology sequence, allowing you to rerun just the parts you need.
Study Folder Structure for Hydrology Results
RiverSMART saves all generated hydrology results to the Study Folder you have specified, using the following structure.
Study_Folder\
Hydrology\
event_name\
trace_name\
generated data files
trace_name\

• The Hydrology\ folder includes a folder for each event that generates hydrology data.
– Within each event folder, there are trace folders that include the generated data files for each trace.
• The Working\ folder also includes a folder for each event.
– Within each event folder, there are log files and intermediate results, which may be useful for debugging problems in event execution.
