These upper basins are actually heavily influenced by impoundments and inter-basin transfers [@higgsHydrologicalChangesRiver1988]. So, to cope with these influences, in this vignette, we use direct injection of observed influenced flows instead of modeling natural flow with an hydrological model. We use observation on the Avon at Evesham (Gauging station '54002') and we choose to do the same on the Severn at Bewdley (Gauging station '54001') as if the observed flow at these locations would be the observed release of a dam. Please note that the flow on the Severn at Buildwas (Gauging station '54095') is still simulated but its flows is no longer routed to downstream. ## Conversion of a gauging station into a release spot ### Modification of the GRiwrm object The creation of the `GRiwrm` object is detailed in the vignette "V01_Structure_SD_model" of the package. The following code chunk resumes all the necessary steps: ```{r} data(Severn) nodes <- Severn$BasinsInfo[, c("gauge_id", "downstream_id", "distance_downstream", "area")] nodes$model <- "RunModel_GR4J" ``` To notify the SD model that the provided flows on a node should be directly used instead of an hydrological model, one only needs to declare its model as `NA`: ```{r} nodes$model[nodes$gauge_id == "54002"] <- NA nodes$model[nodes$gauge_id == "54001"] <- NA griwrmV03 <- CreateGRiwrm(nodes, list(id = "gauge_id", down = "downstream_id", length = "distance_downstream")) griwrmV03 ``` Here, we keep the area of this basin which means that the discharge will be provided in mm per time step. If the discharge is provided in m3/s, then the area should be set to `NA` and downstream basin areas should be modified subsequently. The diagram of the network structure is represented below with: * in blue, the upstream nodes with a GR4J model * in green, the intermediate nodes with an SD (GR4J + LAG) model * in red, the node with direct flow injection (no hydrological model) ```{r diagram} plot(griwrmV03) ``` ### Generation of the GRiwrmInputsModel object The formatting of the input data is described in the vignette "V01_Structure_SD_model". The following code chunk resumes this formatting procedure: ```{r} BasinsObs <- Severn$BasinsObs DatesR <- BasinsObs[[1]]$DatesR PrecipTot <- cbind(sapply(BasinsObs, function(x) {x$precipitation})) PotEvapTot <- cbind(sapply(BasinsObs, function(x) {x$peti})) Precip <- ConvertMeteoSD(griwrmV03, PrecipTot) PotEvap <- ConvertMeteoSD(griwrmV03, PotEvapTot) Qobs <- cbind(sapply(BasinsObs, function(x) {x$discharge_spec})) ``` This time, we need to provide observed flows as inputs for the nodes '54002' and '54095': ```{r} QobsInputs <- Qobs[, c("54001", "54002")] ``` Then, the `GRiwrmInputsModel` object can be generated taking into account the new `GRiwrm` object: ```{r} IM_OL <- CreateInputsModel(griwrmV03, DatesR, Precip, PotEvap, QobsInputs) ``` ## Calibration of the new model Calibration options is detailed in vignette "V02_Calibration_SD_model". We also apply a parameter regularization here but only where an upstream simulated catchment is available. The following code chunk resumes this procedure: ```{r} IndPeriod_Run <- seq( which(DatesR == (DatesR[1] + 365*24*60*60)), # Set aside warm-up period length(DatesR) # Until the end of the time series ) IndPeriod_WarmUp = seq(1,IndPeriod_Run[1]-1) RunOptions <- CreateRunOptions(IM_OL, IndPeriod_WarmUp = IndPeriod_WarmUp, IndPeriod_Run = IndPeriod_Run) InputsCrit <- CreateInputsCrit(IM_OL, FUN_CRIT = ErrorCrit_KGE2, RunOptions = RunOptions, Obs = Qobs[IndPeriod_Run,], AprioriIds = c("54057" = "54032", "54032" = "54029"), transfo = "sqrt", k = 0.15 ) CalibOptions <- CreateCalibOptions(IM_OL) ``` The **airGR** calibration process is applied on each hydrological node of the `GRiwrm` network from upstream nodes to downstream nodes. ```{r Calibration} OC_OL <- suppressWarnings( Calibration(IM_OL, RunOptions, InputsCrit, CalibOptions)) ParamV03 <- sapply(griwrmV03$id, function(x) {OC_OL[[x]]$Param}) ``` ## Run of the model with this newly calibrated parameters ```{r RunModel} OM_OL <- RunModel( IM_OL, RunOptions = RunOptions, Param = ParamV03 ) ``` ## Plotting of the results As can be seen below, compared to results of vignette "V02_Calibration_SD_model", the use of measured flows on upstream influenced basins largely improves the model performance at downstream stations (better low-flow simulations). ```{r, fig.height = 5, fig.width = 8} plot(OM_OL, Qobs = Qobs[IndPeriod_Run, ], which = "Regime") ``` The resulting flows of each node in m3/s are directly available and can be plotted with these commands: ```{r} Qm3s <- attr(OM_OL, "Qm3s") plot(Qm3s[1:150, ]) ``` # References
