Groundwater Functionality - Main Summary Ticket #46

@dvalters

Description

@dvalters

Several new components have been added to the CAESAR-Lisflood code upstream (the Windows version). AB has added these componets to the CAESAR_GW batch of code. The main additions are the model options of swappig out TOPMODEL for SLiM to incorporate groundwaer more realistically. There is a basic groundwater option and a separate option that allows the user to run with the SLiM model that includes water partitioning (overwriting the standard recharge process)

Groundwater inputs

  • Initial groundwater
  • Groundwater boundary file
  • Hydraulic conductivity (m/d) file
  • Specific yield (-) file
  • Recharge rate (% rainfall 0-1)

Water Partitioning

  • Start date
  • HOST file(?)
  • Landuse file
  • Potential Evaporation location file
  • Potential Evaporation table file
  • Initial soil moisture deficit file

There is a test case for both GW and SLiM in the CAESAR_GW folder

The key functions to look at are:

  • wpgw_water_input()
  • water_partitioning(rain_data_time_step)
  • Groundwater_Flow(1440)

Key data structures:

  • dailyBF[][]
  • wp_added_water_daily[][]
