  2. Contents • Requirements • Top Level Design • Knowledge Base • DSF User Interface and Tools • Proposed Documentation

  3. Requirements – The Need • Planning tool to: • test development scenarios and assess impacts on environment and socio-economics • assist in rules development

  4. Requirements – Detailed • Captured from: • terms of reference • working papers • workshops/other discussions • feedback on interim DSF releases

  5. MRC Decision Support Framework (DSF) • Knowledge Base • Planning and monitoring data such as: • hydrological records • physical data • socio-economic and environmental data • scenario description data • simulation model input data • simulation model results DSF User Interface and Tools Basin Simulation Modelling Package SWAT IQQM ISIS Impact Analysis Tools Reporting Tools Top Level Design

  6. Top Level Design • Four categories of user: • Managers/planners • DSF Operators • Specialist Modellers • System Administrators

  7. Distributed System

  8. MRC DSF Knowledge Base DSF GUI / Tools Knowledge Base SWAT IQQM ISIS Impacts • Stores data such as: • hydrological records • physical data • socio-economic environmental data • scenario description data • simulation model input data • simulation model results • Data categorised into: • Times series • GIS data sets • Model simulation data sets • Miscellaneous data Reports

  9. Knowledge Base – Data contents • Early 2003: • 51 layers of spatial data • 800 time series records • Further data continues to be added as verified during modelling process

  10. MRC DSF Knowledge Base DSF GUI / Tools DSF User Interface & Tools SWAT IQQM ISIS Impacts • Single user-friendly interface to: • Scenario management (define, review) • Simulation models (edit, run) • Impact analysis tools (time series, spatial) • Reporting tools (maps, tables, graphs) • Administrator functionality Reports

  12. Scenario Management • 3 components: • Climate • System demands • Proposed interventions • Defined by manager/planner

  13. Scenario Management • Operator/modeller selects models (or builds models) to represent the scenario • Editing of model data sets may be required

  14. MRC DSF Knowledge Base DSF GUI / Tools Editing Model Datasets SWAT IQQM ISIS Impacts • New custom-built users interface within DSF for: • SWAT (hydrometeorological time series) • IQQM (selected data) • ISIS (boundary conditions) • Edit, run models, accept results Reports

  15. DSF–SWAT Interface

  16. DSF–IQQM Interface • Enables ‘operator’ to edit: • Hydrometeorological time series • Irrigation nodes (max areas, cropping) • Flow control nodes (demand flows) • Fixed demand nodes (demand flows) • On-river storage nodes (power station efficiencies)

  17. MRC DSF Knowledge Base DSF GUI / Tools Impact Analysis Tools SWAT IQQM ISIS Impacts • Time Series Tools: • Time series plotting • Flood event analysis • Low flow analysis (including Tonle Sap flow reversal) • Probability-exceedence Reports

  18. Impact Analysis Tools – Spatial • Post-processing of hydraulics/salinity: • Flood extent • Flood depth • Flood duration • Maximum salinity (grid and contours) • Maps of duration thresholds exceeded (eg months higher than 1g/l, 4g/l) • Reported on grid or by ‘planning area’ • For area downstream of Kratie including Tonle Sap

  19. MRC DSF Knowledge Base DSF GUI / Tools SWAT IQQM ISIS Impacts Reports Reporting Tools • Tools aimed at planner/manager user: • Text and tabular results (eg time series statistics) • Graphs (using Impact Analysis Tools ‘time series plotter’) • Maps (either from DSF GIS-type view or ArcView format files in external GIS)

  20. Proposed DSF Documentation Final Report - Administrative report covering process and outcomes of WUP-A project DSF Software Documentation - ‘For future programmers use’ DSF Brochure – ‘What the DSF can do’ : 6 page summary of capabilities DSF User Guide – ‘How to do it’: 100 page user guide / software manual for manager/planner and operator. Key reference source for most users. Simulation Software Manuals: Standard user manuals for SWAT, IQQM and ISIS (digital) Reference Reports - ‘Background information for all’ : revised versions of working papers 13-15 DSF Training Material: Training notes and PowerPoint presentations for use during training. Knowledge Base Data Catalogue – ‘What data are in the KB’: Catalogue of the data stored in the Knowledge Base. First version will define data holdings in KB at end of Halcrow project. (digital?)

  21. Remarks • DSF design has evolved following workshops, discussions and feedback • Expect further refinement during ‘scenario testing’ and during further training and future use

  22. Thank you and any questions
