In this last section the sections of validation, calibration, and sensitivity analysis will be developed using various tools that SWAT+ Toolbox has. The hydrological and sediment balances of a calibrated model will also be evaluated and then graphs will be made by connecting the database of a model with Python and SQlite.
Trainer
Saul Montoya M.Sc.
Saul Montoya M.Sc. is a Hydrogeologist and Numerical Modeler. Mr. Montoya is a Civil Engineer graduated from the Catholic University in Lima with postgraduate studies in Management and Engineering of Water Resources (WAREM Program) from Stuttgart University – Germany with mention in Groundwater Engineering and Hydroinformatics. Mr Montoya has a strong analytical capacity for the interpretation, conceptualization and modeling of the surface and underground water cycle and their interaction.
He is in charge of numerical modeling for contaminant transport and remediation systems of contaminated sites. Inside his hydrological and hydrogeological investigations Mr. Montoya has developed a holistic comprehension of the water cycle, understanding and quantifying the main hydrological dynamic process of precipitation, runoff, evaporation and recharge to the groundwater system.
Over the last 9 years Saul has developed 2 websites for knowledge sharing in water resources: www.gidahatari.com (Spanish) and www.hatarilabs.com (English) that have become relevant due to its applied tutorials on groundwater modeling, spatial analysis and computational fluid mechanics.
The requirements to develop this module are to have an internet connection via wifi or network cable with a bandwidth of at least 4 Mbps and use a PC or Laptop with a Windows 64-bit operating system with speakers or headphones
The sensitivity analysis of a model that allows evaluating the effect produced by certain SWAT+ parameters on a measured variable such as flow will be developed.
For this session, the main technical aspects about validation in a model using SWAT+ compatible tools will be completed and the optimal calibration parameters for the validation of the results will be configured.
With the calibrated model, the outflows and the sediment production provided by the basin under study will be analyzed based on the pre-established parameters of the software, the scope of the main parameters will be provided.
In this session we will learn to connect the SQLite database from Python and the hydrological simulation of a SWAT+ model will be carried out in an automated way in order to generate interactive graphics
