Double-Checking Correct Channel Number for Streamflow Calibration

[Martha Ryan]

Dear All,

Hello, my name is Martha Ryan and I am currently calibrating and validating streamflow for several gauges in my watershed. I wanted to double-check that I am using the correct channel IDs for each gauge during the calibration/validation process.

I initially used the Rivs1 file generated by QSWAT+ to determine the GIS IDs/channel names corresponding to the outlets I defined for each streamflow gauge. I then verified that these channel IDs matched the map shown in the Observation tab of SWAT+ Toolbox (v3.0.5).

Next, I checked the Channels table in the Connections tab of SWAT+ Editor (v3.0.8) to confirm that the upstream and downstream channel connections matched the expected stream network. I also performed a quick visual inspection of the channel coordinates, and everything generally appeared to align.

I think I identified the correct channels for each gauge, but I wanted to confirm that I am not missing anything.

Please the me know if your thoughts or if you have any questions. I can attach my project files if necessary. 

Thank you in advance, and have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,
