Create New Project

Input of default values

A new project can be created at Start Page via clicking the Create New Project. See "Create Projects" in the General Kalypso manual.

In the case of KalypsoHydrology, additional information about the structure of the project can be obtained when the project is made and the basic model elements from the shape file are imported. After naming the project, the number of modelled soil layers and the number of the identified discharges (number of Kalinin-Miljukov parameter) is set Definition of Preconditions). The maximum number of different soil layers is currently limited to 10 and the number of the Kalinin-Miljukov parameter is set to 5. Afterwards, the wizard performs the import of shape files of sub-catchments, strands, nodes and possibly hydrotope (see Hydrotope). The following tables show an overview of the elements which must be present in the model as shape files.

When entering the content, the procedure is as follows: If you want to import sub-catchments, strands, nodes, and hydrotope, you must first activate the box for e.g. Importing sub-catchments to activate the dialog box for the import. By using the button the shape file can be selected for the import. In the further process, the four shape files for sub-catchments, strands, nodes and hydrotopes are read one after the other. To do this, select the required file with the file browser and undertake a mapping of the columns of the shape file to the elements of the model. The associated coordinate system must be selected when importing the respective shape files (E.g. for Hamburg: DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Krüger zone 3). The files of the sub-catchments, strands, nodes and hydrotopes (optional)are processed one after the other. After assignment of the hydrotopes, the wizard is completed by clicking on button.

Procedure Overview

To create a new project, it is recommended to start on the Welcome Page of KalypsoHydrology.

1. First click on to create a New Project.(A new project template opens.)

2. In the Project Wizard: The New RRM model is named

3. Specify project-specific preconditions

3.1 Sub-division of soil horizons (number of soil layers)

3.2 Kalinin-Miljukov strands (number of the discharges, which were determined by the hydraulic model)

4. Import the GIS-Data. The assigned elements are:

Mapping of the properties of the sub-catchment	Meaning
Co-ordinatensystem	Specification of the co- ordination system
Name	sub-catchment number with 4 digits

Properties of Hydrotopes	Description
Co-ordinate system	Specifications of the coordinate system
Name	Name of the Hydrotope
Land use Key	Abbreviation of land use (Allocation to the globally defined usage parameters )
Soil profile	Abbreviation of soil profile. (Allocation to the globally defined soil parameters)
Correction factor of Sealing rate	Correction of the sealing rate of the defined land use (Allocation to the globally defined land use parameter )
Max. Percolation rate [m/s]	Hydraulic conductivity, with which the percolation from the last layer of soil can penetrate into the GW.
Ground water inflow	Part of groundwater, which remains in the upper aquifer. The differential portion is cut off in the deep aquifer.

5. The new project will be displayed in the project overview.

There is the possibility of finishing the import-wizard after importing the strands (keyword: hydrotope intersection in KalypsoHydrology).
