D-Water Quality model components#

The HydroMT-delwaq plugin helps you preparing or updating several components of a D-Water Quality model such as emission information or forcing. The main interactions are available from the HydroMT Command Line Interface and allow you to configure HydroMT in order to build or update D-Water Quality (WQ) models.

When building or updating a model from command line a model region, a model setup configuration (.yml file) with model components and options and, optionally, a data catalog (.yml) file should be prepared.

D-Water Quality model setup methods#

An overview of the available D-Water Quality model setup methods is provided in the table below. When using HydroMT from the command line only the setup methods are exposed. Click on a specific method see its documentation.

Method	Explanation
`setup_config()`	Update config with a dictionary
`setup_basemaps()`	Set the model schematization using the hydromodel region and resolution.
`setup_monitoring()`	Set the monitoring points and areas.
`setup_hydrology_forcing()`	Prepare the hydrological fluxes.
`setup_sediment_forcing()`	Prepare the sediment emission fluxes.
`setup_climate_forcing()`	Prepare the climate forcing (eg for temperature modelling).
`setup_staticdata_from_rasterdataset()`	Generate gridded staticdata from a raster data source.

D-Water Quality model components#

The following table provides an overview of which DelwaqModel attribute contains which D-Water Quality in- and output files. The files are read and written with the associated read- and write- methods, i.e. read_config() and write_config() for the config attribute.

`DelwaqModel` components	D-Water Quality files
`config`	several config/*.inc files linked to delwaq.inp
`staticdata`	several static binary data for fate and transport calculation in staticdata/*.dat
`geoms`	geometries from the geoms folder (basins.geojson, monareas.geojson etc.)
`forcing`	flow.dat, volume.dat, sediment.dat, climate.dat
`hydromaps`	additional hydromodel/*.tif files with information on the coupled hydrology/hydrodynamic model.
`pointer`	pointer file pointer.poi and linked information.
