SITES IN SERIES

SITES 14 & 15 LOWER SITE 17 (B-1) There are 17 sites in this watershed under consideration. Site 14 is above 15. There are 16 sites above 17.

Sites 14 & 15 Lower Site 17

Elements are added by default in the upstream direction. Recall that sites 14 and 15 are a portion of the previous schematic.

TOOL BAR FOR FIRST SITE STARTING THE WATERSHED SCHEMATIC

NEXT ADD THE REACH ABOVE THE LOWER SITE

NOW ADD UPPER SITE The upper site is considered built or in place for the design of the lower site.

Upper Site (designed and considered in place before the start of series routing for design of Lower Site) Reach 3500’ - with cross-section #200 Lower Site (to be designed) Sites in Series Example

On the first screen, either start a new project or open an existing project (created earlier using the interface).

The last 5 projects worked on will show up on the file menu. Click to load one of these projects. Last 5

Right clicking in the peach colored area brings up the GoTo Block

Right clicking on an element causes a menu to appear. Selecting “edit element” allows data entry or revision.

After the file is “Built” the output data can be displayed. Below the hydrographs with 200’ wide spillway is highlighted.

Zoom capabilities

Note change in graph scales from previous slide. Before zoom

Below we have selected output for the BW: 200’ spillway.

Selecting “output” from the menu gives text output. For the lower site it will look like the output from the.out file. Note the edit is not available.
