To begin the installation, close all other programs. Insert the first CD (labeled Disk 1). If the installation does not start within a few moments, double-click on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop. In the window that appears, double-click the CD-ROM drive. This should start the installation. The following screen will appear once installation has successfully started: 278 279 280 Installing the WRIA-1 DSS 2 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 .NET Framework Installation The next step is to install the .NET Application Framework. Much of the WRIA-1 DSS is based upon this component. This next step may not be necessary if your computer already has this component installed. If the installation determines this step to be necessary, you will see the screen below. If you see a different screen, skip to the section labeled Installation Welcome. At this screen, browse through the License Agreement if you wish, then ensure that “I Agree” is selected. Press the Install button. 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 3 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 After pressing the Install button, the .NET Framework will begin to install. You will see the following screen as this is happening: When the installation of the .NET Framework has completed, you’ll see the notification window below.

For the Standard edition of the DSS, clicking Next on the previous window will have started the installation process (see Installing). If you’re installing the Administrative edition of the WRIA-1 DSS, you will see the window below. This gives you the opportunity to select which components you would like to install. Choosing “Typical” will install the same software as the Standard edition, except that you will have access to the administrative tools in the DBMS (also known as LaunchPad). Choosing “Complete” will install everything from “Typical” as well as the source code to the DSS components and the Technical Documentation. After selecting which setup type you would like, click the Next button. 349 Installing the WRIA-1 DSS 6 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 Installing At this point, the installer will begin to actually install the software. This step may take some time, given the sheer volume of software and data being installed. You will see a meter in the center of the window; this does not indicate overall progress, but indicates the progress of the current step. The window you will see during the actual installation is shown below. You will probably be prompted during this step to insert the next CD. When this appears, insert the next CD and click OK on the message window. 362 WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 7 363 364 365 366 367 InstallShield Portion Complete When the InstallShield portion of the installation has finished, you’ll see the screen below. Click the Finish button to proceed to the next step. 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Edition Installation Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Edition is the database server utilized by the WRIA-1 DSS. This stores the main databases used by the Time Series Analyst and other plug-ins. When you click Finish on the screen above, you’ll see the window below, which informs you that the Microsoft SQL Server installation is beginning. 377 378 Installing the WRIA-1 DSS 8 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 If the database server is already installed on your computer, you will receive the error message below. This message may be ignored. Simply click OK on the message box and proceed to the next step, Reboot.

Please log in as the same user who began the installation (i.e., don’t log in as “Bob” to start the installation, then after rebooting, log in as “Joe”.) When your computer starts back up, you will not immediately see your familiar Windows desktop. First, you’ll see a small black window, as shown below. Inside this window, you’ll see “Restoring Database FlowData…” followed by “Restoring Database ClimateData…” and so on, for four databases. No action is required on your part here; simply wait for the process to complete. These databases are very large, so this step may take a few minutes. 416 417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 Installation Complete After the window above finishes, you’ll be returned to your Windows desktop. Now the installation is complete – you may use the DSS. The following sections contain detailed descriptions of the functions used within the DSS.

The WIS can be used for data visualization and analysis associated with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development/analysis, source water protection programs, and to aid watershed council members or other stakeholder groups in better understanding the data and information gathered by government agencies and other organizations. The base system includes an interactive map and legend, including typical GIS application functions, as well as a core set of plug-ins for analyzing water quality and quantity data, and digital photography. Because the base tool is inherently extensible, it allows for the implementation of custom plug-ins to address significant concerns in a specific area, and the inclusion of models and other data analyses that may be required. This allows users to create their own WIS to aid decision making for their area of interest.

The map is the window in which roads, rivers, cities, county boundaries, water quality stations, habitat locations, and other spatial data are displayed. The legend displays layer groups, each of which consists of one or more layers. A layer is a coverage of spatially located points, lines or polygons that represent geographical information or site locations. Each layer may have attribute data associated with it; for example, a river reach layer may contain attribute information regarding the length, average flow, elevation, and reach geometry for each feature. Each layer in the legend can be displayed in the Map view. WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 13 498 499 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 516 517 518 519 In the legend, you can turn ‘on’ and/or ‘activate’ layers. A layer is ‘on’ if it has a check mark in its corresponding box. A layer is ‘active’ if it has a box surrounding it and is gray. In the following example, the Water QualitySampling Sites, Temperature Probes, and Streamflow Sampling Locations layers are ‘on,’ but only theStreamflow Sampling Locations layer is ‘active’ (there can be only one ‘active’ layer at a time). You can turn an entire group of layers ‘on’ by checking the box beside the layer group name. Similarly, you can turn an entire group of layers ‘off’ by un-checking the box beside the layer group name. If you want to display some layers in a layer group, but not others, you can turn ‘on’ and ‘off’ individual layers within each layer group. To check or un-check a layer, simply click in its corresponding box. When a layer is checked, it is displayed in the map. Legend Editor The Legend Editor is a tool that allows you to change the way a layer is displayed. To open the layer editor, double click on the layer of interest in the legend.

WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 19 624 625 626 Feature Identifier and Shape Labeler Plug-in 627 628 629 630 631 632 633 Feature Identifier The Feature Identifier tool allows you to click on a feature in the selected layer and view attribute information for the given feature. To use the Feature Identifier tool, first you must turn ‘on’ and activate the layer for which you would like information (recall that a theme is ‘active’ when it is gray and a box surrounds it and ‘on’ when it is checked): 634 635 636 637 638 639 640 641 . The Feature After you have activated a layer, click the Feature Identifier button, Identifier window will open. This window contains a table with two columns: Field Name and Field Value. The items listed in “Field Name” correspond with the field names in the active layer’s underlying attribute table. For the example above, the Feature Identifier table would look like the following: MapWindow Watershed Information System 20 642 643 644 645 646 647 648 649 650 651 652 653 654 655 656 657 658 659 The values in the Field Value column will remain blank until you click on a feature within the selected layer. Note: When the MapWindow WIS is in the Feature Identify mode, the cursor will + appear as an “i” with cross bars in the upper left corner: i P P After you have clicked the Feature Identifier button, you can select a feature by either: (1) clicking on a point, line, polygon, etc. after positioning the crossbars of the cursor directly over the feature, or (2) clicking and drawing a box surrounding the feature or surrounding part of the feature(s). The selected feature will change color. The Feature Identifier table will become populated with data that corresponds to the feature you selected: WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 21 660 661 662 663 664 665 666 In the example above, we clicked on a feature in the map and then viewed its attribute information in the Feature Identifier window. This tool can also locate features on a map based on user-defined specifications. The user can activate a layer, click the Feature Identifier tool, and then select several features of the layer: 667 668 669 670 671 672 673 674 675 676 677 678 When more than one feature is selected with the Feature Identifier tool, only one feature’s attributes will appear in the Feature Identifier table. The feature that appears in the table will change color in the Map View. The other selected features will remain unchanged. The Feature Identifier table includes two fields at the top of the window in which you can perform queries on the selected features. In the right box, you can select an attribute. In the left, you can select a corresponding attribute value: MapWindow Watershed Information System 22 679 680 681 682 683 684 685 686 687 688 In the example above, the Water Quality Sampling Site gage(s) that has a “Shape Index” of “857” will turn red in the Map view. Shape Labeler The Shape Labeler allows you to add customized labels to the Map view. To open the T tool, click the Shape Labeler button, 689 690 .

The “Label by Field” menu will become populated with the layer’s corresponding attributes: T T After you select an attribute by which the layer will be layered (for example, station name, ID number, or constituent type), you can customize the label’s appearance by changing the text font, color, and alignment using the Label Properties fields: To apply your labels to the Map view, click Apply. The labels will appear in the Map view whenever the corresponding layer is displayed. To remove a layer’s labels, click the Shape Labeler button, select the corresponding layer in the “Shapefile Labeler” list, and select None in the “Label by Field” list. The Label Zoom Extents option allows you to set a map zoom level at which the labels will turn on. This is useful when labels on the map become too cluttered to read. You can set the label extents such that the labels do not turn on until you zoom in to a certain level on the map. To do this, click the Enable Label Extents check box. This will activate the label zoom extents option. Next, using the Zoom Tools, zoom the Map View to the desired zoom level at which you wish your labels to appear and then click on the Set Current Map Extents as Label Extents button.

This will open the WRIA-1 DSS Launch Pad window as shown below. Press Launch DSS to begin. 774 775 776 777 778 779 780 781 782 783 784 785 786 787 788 789 This will bring up a MapWindow and the Nooksack project. One of the menus in MapWindow will be labeled DSS, as shown below: Select the Scenario Builder option to start the Model Manager. Note that this tool goes by three different names, which are used interchangeably throughout all literature and software: Model Manager, Scenario Builder, and DSS. This last term is best avoided, since the term is also used to refer to the complete package of software and data. If this menu does not appear, select the Plug-ins menu instead. You will see an option labeled Scenario Builder / DSS. If there is no check mark next to this item, click the item as shown below.

Creating a New Scenario When the scenario builder is first started, you will be presented with an empty screen as shown below. In order to create a new scenario, click the white paper icon or select the File menu, then the New option. After creating a new project, you will see the screen below. WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 27 804 805 806 807 808 809 810 811 812 813 814 815 816 817 818 819 820 821 822 Adding Elements Next, you may select any of the tabs to the left (the “Element Toolbox”). Here, you will see model elements (also called scenario elements) listed. You may add one of these to your project either by double-clicking on the scenario element, or by dragging it from the toolbox into the scenario (the window with the Go and Stop icons). You may add the same element to the scenario more than once, if your particular scenario requires this. As you add elements to the scenario, it is a good idea to rearrange them so that they fall in a logical place on the screen. You may move a model element by simply clicking on it and holding down the mouse key to drag it. The screen below shows what the Scenario Builder looks like after adding the Land Cover Data Editor. Note that this example shows the mechanics of setting up a scenario without including all the various specific configuration parameters necessary to run a real scenario. Scenario Builder/Model Manager 28 823 824 825 826 827 828 829 830 831 832 833 834 835 836 837 838 839 840 841 842 843 844 845 846 847 848 849 850 Connecting Elements Once all of the model elements you wish to use in your scenario have been added, they will need to be connected. This is done by clicking once on the first element to be connected – a box will appear in the very center of the element. Click and hold the mouse button down on this box and drag the mouse (while holding the mouse button down), and you will see a line come from the model element to your cursor – continue dragging the mouse pointer to the destination element and release the mouse. The elements will be connected by one directional arrow. All model elements must be connected to form a path from the Start Location to the Finish Location. When the model is executed, the Scenario Builder will start at the “Go” icon and follow the arrow from it to the first element, which will then be executed. The Scenario Builder will follow the arrow from that element to the next element, process it, and so on until the Scenario Builder reaches the “Stop” icon. Since elements are executed in sequence, the order in which elements are connected in a scenario matters. In this example, the changes to land cover will be applied before the land cover is summarized. Therefore, the land cover data editor must run before the land cover summarizer. There could be additional elements between the two, but since the edit takes place before the summary, that’s all that really matters in the positioning of elements. As a rule of thumb, elements that produce input for another element must run before that element. The screen below shows a scenario with the Land Cover Data Editor and the Land Cover Summarizer properly connected: WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 29 851 852 853 854 855 856 857 858 859 860 861 862 863 Viewing Properties and the Scenario Tab Each scenario has properties associated with it such as the scenario author, title and notes or descriptions. The scenario properties may be viewed and edited by either doubleclicking on the tab above the scenario, or by selecting the View menu, then Scenario Properties. A Scenario Properties screen is shown below. Any of the fields may be edited here, and the scenario can be password-protected. Click to continue, or to abandon any changes. 864 865 Scenario Builder/Model Manager 30 866 867 868 869 870 871 872 873 874 875 876 The tab that displays the name of the scenario will often have an asterisk (*) after the scenario name; this signifies that the scenario has not yet been saved or has been modified since it was last saved. Several scenarios may be open at once; each open scenario will have its own tab. Switching between scenarios is done by clicking the tab with the desired scenario’s name. Each element inside a scenario has properties associated with it, but these properties cannot be edited. The properties for an element can be viewed by selecting the element in the scenario (click on it once). Next, click on the View menu and select Element Properties. An example Element Properties screen is shown below. 877 878 879 880 881 882 883 884 885 886 887 888 889 890 891 892 893 894 895 896 Configuring Elements Many of the scenario elements must be configured before the scenario can be executed. Every scenario element will differ in what needs to be configured and how this is accomplished. A scenario element is configured by double-clicking on the element’s icon in the scenario window (the window with the “Go” and “Stop” icons). Double-clicking on a scenario element brings up the configuration screen for that particular element. Any configuration needed to run the selected element can be done using this configuration screen. For more specific configuration information, refer to the section in this document describing the particular element of interest. Once data and configuration parameters have been entered for an element, the information will be saved as a part of the scenario. The various parameters available for each scenario element allows for multiple instances of that scenario element in the same scenario: each element is configured independently, so, for instance, a scenario could have several land cover summarizer elements, each configured to summarize from a different land cover grid. WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 31 897 898 899 900 901 902 903 904 905 906 907 908 909 910 911 912 Setting the Date Range Some model elements will require a date range for processing, for example, a model analyzing stream flow data may need to know what date range of samples should be examined. Not all scenario elements use this; those that don’t use this information will simply ignore it. Setting the scenario date range is done by clicking on the date values and typing in new values as shown below. Also, the date ranges can be modified by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the text fields with dates in them as shown in the image below (circled in red). The leftmost date is the starting date, and the rightmost date is the ending date. Clicking on the arrow will cause the calendar to appear, which can be used to select a new date. 913 914 915 916 917 918 919 920 921 922 923 Saving the Scenario Scenarios are not saved to a file on disk, but rather are saved to the Scenario Builder’s internal database. A scenario can be saved by clicking on the floppy disk icon, circled in red below: The scenario is also saved automatically whenever it is executed. Scenario Builder/Model Manager 32 924 925 926 A scenario can be opened again by choosing the File menu, then Open, or alternatively by clicking the yellow folder icon located to the left of the save button, circled in red below. 927 928 Running the Scenario 929 930 931 932 A scenario may be executed in one of two ways; selecting the Run menu, then select Run All Elements, or by clicking the “Play” icon, circled in red below: 933 934 935 936 937 938 939 940 941 942 943 Notice that there is also a Selected option in the Run menu; this will run the currently selected scenario element only, ignoring all other elements in the scenario. This option should be used with caution, as scenario elements often rely on data produced by other elements in the scenario. Once a scenario has started running, the screen will appear as shown below. Notice the outline around the element that is currently running, and the progress message and progress bar at the bottom of the screen. 944 945 WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 33 946 947 948 If there are any errors in the configuration of the scenario, it will not run properly and an error message will appear. 949 950 951 952 953 954 955 Errors 956 957 958 959 960 961 962 963 964 965 966 967 968 When running a scenario, one or more of the scenario elements may report errors during execution. This is often due to the user forgetting to configure an element, or improperly configuring an element (i.e., asking an element to use a nonexistent database). The error message which appears, though not visually appealing, is quite informative: Reading this error message, it is visible that the error was caused by the Land Cover Data Editor. Scanning through the error message, notice the Results Summary, which says “Failed to identify polygon shapefile layer”. This suggests the need to check the configuration of the model element (by double-clicking the element in the scenario builder) to ensure that all of the selected polygon shapefiles actually exist and are the proper files. Scenario Run Log When a scenario has finished running the following window will appear. Scenario Builder/Model Manager 34 969 970 971 972 973 974 975 976 977 978 The scenario run log is saved for each individual execution of the scenario. The log contains information about the user running the scenario, the computer used to run the scenario, and the elements involved in the scenario. Each element run contributes a segment to the run log, including details about input and output files, and what actions the element took. An example scenario log viewer is shown below. 979 980 981 982 983 984 985 986 987 Exporting Scenario Run Log U The scenario run log may be exported, which is useful for archiving scenario results. Exporting the log is done by clicking the “Export to File” button in the scenario log viewer (above). A Save As dialog box will appear, as shown below, allowing the user to select the output location and provide a file name for the log. WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 35 988 989 990 991 The output file will be textual (ASCII text), and will contain exactly what the scenario log viewer shows. 992 993 994 995 996 997 998 999 1000 1001 1002 Importing and Exporting Scenarios 1003 1004 1005 1006 1007 1008 1009 1010 1011 1012 1013 1014 1015 1016 1017 Import Scenario. Select the file to be imported, and click Entire scenarios can be imported and exported using the DSS. Exporting a scenario is accomplished by first opening the scenario, then selecting the File menu, and then choosing Export Scenario. The user will be asked where to save the file. The output file will be a proprietary binary format, which is unreadable by anything except the Model Manager / Scenario Builder. Importing a scenario is accomplished in much the same way – start with an empty scenario builder screen, or with a scenario loaded. Click on the File menu and select . The scenario will immediately open in the scenario builder, under a separate tab if another scenario is already open. The scenario will also be added to the database of scenarios automatically. If a scenario with the same name as the scenario being imported already exists in the database a warning message will appear and the scenario will not be imported. An exported scenario file may be given to another user who has the Scenario Builder installed. As long as that user has all of the model elements that exist in the exported scenario and any input data that the model elements of that scenario require, the user can run the scenario. If a user imports a scenario and doesn’t have one of the scenario elements, the missing element will show up in the Model Manager as a question mark in the scenario window. Scenario Builder/Model Manager 36 1018 1019 1020 1021 1022 1023 1024 1025 1026 1027 1028 1029 1030 1031 1032 1033 1034 1035 1036 It is useful to export a scenario run log as well, and keep it with the exported scenario– this is a useful way to tell what data the scenario requires. Each model element will list the data files it accesses as a part of the scenario log. (Custom elements not made by USU may not follow this guideline.) Editing the Base Data Part of the Scenario Builder database is a table listing all of the base data available to model elements. This table contains the data type, name and location. This data may be edited by clicking on the File menu, then selecting Edit Base Data. The following screen will appear. To change the location of an existing data item, click on the row to highlight it, click as shown below. 1037 1038 1039 1040 1041 1042 1043 1044 1045 1046 Navigate to the desired location and press . The new location will appear in the table on the screen. The FileID (data name) or DataType can be edited by clicking in the field and directly editing. New data items can be added by clicking the button. To delete a data item, click in the grey area to the left of the record, highlighting the row, then press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete it. WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 37 1047 1048 button is pressed, at which time None of these changes will be saved until the all changes that have been made will be saved permanently. 1049 1050 1051 1052 1053 1054 1055 Configuring the DSS Database 1056 1057 1058 1059 1060 1061 1062 1063 The Scenario Builder uses an internal database to store scenarios and base data information. The location of the database that the Scenario Builder is using may be changed by clicking on the File menu, then selecting Database Configuration. The screen will appear as shown below. The database can be either an SQL Server database or a Microsoft Access database. Enter the server information if it is an SQL Server, or click the folder icon to browse for the Access database. When you have filled in the proper information, click the Test Connection(s) button. You will see the message below. 1064 1065 1066 Press and then to continue. 1067 1068 Placing a Scenario Inside of another Scenario Scenario Builder/Model Manager 38 1069 1070 1071 An entire scenario can placed within another scenario. This is best illustrated by example, as below: 1072 1073 1074 1075 1076 1077 1078 1079 1080 When the scenario shown above runs, the Land Cover Summarizer will run first, then the scenario “Test Scenario” will run, starting with the “Go” icon and ending at the “Stop” icon within that scenario. The scenario will then continue to the “Stop” icon in the window above. Additional elements could be placed between the “Scenario: Test Scenario” icon and the “Stop” icon if desired. 1081 The Loop Control Node 1082 1083 1084 1085 Another advanced scenario element is the loop control node. This facilitates running an element multiple times. This is also best illustrated by example: This may be useful to encapsulate often-used functions. WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 39 1086 1087 1088 1089 1090 1091 1092 1093 1094 1095 1096 1097 1098 1099 1100 1101 1102 In the scenario shown above, the execution flows from “Go” to “Loop Control Node”. The loop control node has been configured to run four times. Since the loop control node is connected to the node “Scenario: Test Scenario”, it will be run four times before execution flows to “Stop”. The Loop Control Node must have a connection leading to a valid scenario element (not “Stop”), and a connection coming back into it. In this example, there is a line between “Loop Control Node” and “Scenario: Test Scenario” which has an arrowhead on both ends: this line is serving both roles. The Loop Control Node should then have a second connection leaving it, which in this example leads to “Stop”. The Loop Control Node is configured like any other element, simply double-click it. Double-clicking the Loop Control Node will produce the window below. Scenario Builder/Model Manager 40 1103 1104 1105 1106 1107 1108 1109 1110 1111 1112 1113 1114 1115 1116 1117 1118 1119 1120 As this window shows, the loop control node will run for 4 time steps. Another example is given below: The Loop Control Node here has been set to run twice; so, execution will flow thusly: 1. (go icon) 2. (loop control node iteration 1) 3. Scenario: Scenario 1 4. Scenario: Scenario 2 5. (loop control node iteration 2) 6. Scenario: Scenario 1 7. Scenario: Scenario 2 8. (loop control node finished) 9.

The water quantity model requires the following input information: - Drainages Shapefile - TopNet Input Directory - Land Cover Summary Database - Water Management Database The drainage shapefile used should be bsnwria1_v7.shp. Only the drainage identifier (BSNWRIA1A) and drainage name (DRAIN_NAME) are used from this shapefile. Other inputs have been created using the drainage identifiers in this shapefile. Use of another shapefile would result in incorrect names being associated with drainage identifiers. The TopNet input directory is the folder comprising input files required to run the water quantity model. Three such folders are provided, one each for historic, existing and full build out conditions. When the model is run this entire set of files is copied to the specified output working directory. The model is then run in the output working directory which serves as a record of the inputs and outputs for a specific model run scenario. The land cover summary database contains the area of each land cover type summarized for each drainage. This is created by the land cover summarizer tool. The initial land cover summary database provided includes land covers for each scenario: - Scenario 1 = Historic conditions - Scenario 2 = Existing conditions - Scenario 3 = Full build out conditions The water management database is a Microsoft Access database contains the information needed to populate the water quantity model water management input files. This database is changed when water management options are edited. Three initial water management databases are provided, one for each scenario.

To select the species to compare, select the first species from the Species 1 dropdown combo-box. Then select the second species for comparison from the Species 2 dropdown combo-box. The X-axis values are the Predicted Flow values in cubic feet per second (cfs). The Yaxis is the Effective Habitat values for the given predicted flow. The line colors and meanings are shown in the Legend on the right of the graph. The red line represents where the habitat suitability for Species 1 is greater than the habitat suitability of Species 2. The green line shows where the habitat suitability for Species 2 is greater than the habitat suitability of Species 1. The blue line shows where the habitat suitability for both species is equal. The magenta line shows the habitat suitability for Species 2 only, and the tan line shows the habitat suitability for Species 1 only. Note that if the same species is selected for Species 1 and Species 2, only the blue line (equal) will appear. The example below shows Chinook Juvenile compared to Coho Juvenile at cross section 1 at Bell Creek. 4755 1D Habitat Viewer Plug-in 222 4756 4757 4758 4759 4760 4761 4762 4763 4764 4765 4766 4767 4768 Discharge Comparison The Discharge Comparison tab plots the Effective habitat for the selected species starting at the predicted discharge (flow) value is changed to the selected “Starting Discharge” value. The black vertical line represents the selected flow. The available flows for comparison are the same as the Predicted Flows. The X-axis shows the entire range of Predicted Flows in cfs. The Y-axis value is the Effective Habitat value in square feet per 100 feet (ft^2/100ft). The example below shows the entire effective habitat curve since the starting flow is so near the end flow value. As the starting flow value is decreased, the chart will automatically update itself to show only that portion of the curve. 4769 4770 4771 4772 4773 4774 4775 4776 4777 4778 Surface Plot T T The Surface Plot is a 3-Dimensional wire-frame visualization of all of the available flows in the Flow Comparison tab stacked up next to each other for the selected species from the Species dropdown combo-box.

The first method is to double click the plot. This will cause the graph to begin to rotate. It will continue to do so until it is double clicked again, at which point it will stop. The number in the top-left corner of the plot indicates the current degree of rotation. The second method is to use the scroll bars located at the bottom of the plot. When the scrollbar is at its left-most position, the degree of rotation is 0.0. As you move it to the right, it rotates the picture. The degree of rotation is updated in the top-left corner of the plot. When the scrollbar is at its right-most position, the degree of rotation is 359.0. The default position for the scrollbar is the left-most position or 0.0 degrees of rotation. The scrollbar, located on the right-hand side of the plot, is to change the perspective of the graph. As the scrollbar is moved upward, the user will see the plot from the underside of the wire-frame (looking up from the bottom on the plot). If the scrollbar is at its top-most position, the user will see the “underside” of the wire-frame plot. As the scrollbar is moved downward, the user will see the plot from the top of the wire-frame (looking down on the plot). If the scrollbar is at its bottom-most position, the user will see the “top-side” of the wire-frame plot. 4798 4799 4800 4801 4802 4803 1D Habitat Viewer Plug-in 224 4804 4805 2D Habitat Viewer Plug-in 4806 4807 4808 4809 The 2D Habitat Viewer plug-in allows you to view and query information on the effects to fish habitat of different stream flow regimes.

Output reports can be written to Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Rich Text formats. The datasets that the generator uses to gather and generate data are predefined for each watershed the report generator is used with; data comes from the MapWindow project that is currently loaded. Therefore, in order to use the Watershed Characterization report, a specific project file with the proper data must be loaded into MapWindow. Once the Watershed Characterization generator has loaded, the user may select which drainages should be included in this report. Maps generated will cover only the selected regions, and data will be collected only for these drainages. Once the desired drainages have been selected, the user needs only to click "Launch Report" and wait while the report is created. Opening a MapWindow Project Since the Report Generator relies on GIS data defined in a specific project file, first ensure that the proper project file has been opened. Do this by clicking the File menu, then Open as shown below. 5279 5280 5281 5282 5283 You may also open a project by clicking on the open button located on the toolbar.

When the process completes, the Import window will show the number of records imported below the progress bar, and the window shown below will appear: H) If an error is found in the file, an error message will appear. The system will do its best to help describe the error, or at least what line in the file the error occurs at. Common things to check are that all required values (keys, etc) are supplied, ensure that all fields, even blank fields, are present (ie, for value3 to be blank: value1,value2,,value4). Also check that data types are correct, for example don’t try to use “Hello there” as a sample value if sample value is a numeric field. I) If an error does occur, NO data will be imported; the entire process will be aborted. Data is only written to the database upon successful completion of the entire file. J) An example of an error during import appears below. In this case, no data was imported to the database because an error occurred. To cause this error, I placed an ‘x’ where there was a ‘30’, trying to place data of type text into a field of type float.

The file should be comma delimited and should have 8 columns: Node, DrainId, Cluster, Subcluster, MAF_cfs, 60%exeed_cfs, Source _Site, Site_Type and 338 rows (337 node records and a header). The file provided with the program is “Source-Target_337nodes.csv”. Figure 1 shows the first few records of the file. General guidelines when extrapolating IFR or WUA curves: 1. Choose a USU intensive study site over a Rapid Assessment study site; 2. Choose a USU study site located geographically closer to the site of interest (e.g., Hutchinson USU intensive study site should be used for extrapolation within subcluster 3 (Hydro Cluster 7); however, Deer Creek rapid assessment site should be used for extrapolation within drainage 180); or 3. Choose a USU study site with MAF closer to that of the site of interest; 4. Caution should be exercised when extrapolating IFRs or WUA curves from the study sites that were not modeled over the entire range of flows (10% to 90% exceedence flows) due to modeling constraints (Maple Creek, Kendall Creek, Lynden, Bell Creek, Canyon Lake Creek, Lower Ruth Creek, Porter Creek), since no detailed information is available on the behavior of the curves at higher flows. A more detailed description of the method can be found in Saraeva (2006; http://www.engineering.usu.edu/uwrl/inse/nooksack/Saraeva/Dissertation.pdf), chapter 2 (p.9). H205T TH Intensive IFIM study sites should have “Intensive Site” in the Site_Type column; rapid assessment study sites should have “1D Site” in the Site_Type column.

The detailed description of the table and the database is given in the “Technical Documentation: The Habitat Time Series Model”. HabitatTimeSeriesInput.mdb database is provided with the program. 6125 6126 6127 6128 Extrapolate to a Single Node If the user chooses to extrapolate to a single node, the next window will request the user to either enter the node number or will offer to show a map (Figure 8). 6129 6130 6131 6132 If the user chooses the first option (.csv files) the extrapolated WUA will be saved into separate comma delimited files for each node in the “ExtrapolatedWUA_output” directory in the same folder where the executable program is located. If such folder already exists the user will be asked to replace it or to enter a new folder name. If the user chooses to save the output in the Habitat database, the user will be prompted to open the database. It should be noted that even though both extrapolated WUA in sq.feet/1000ft and percent of maximum habitat are written into the database, only percent of maximum habitat values that show the shape of the WUA curves have been proven to provide meaningful results.

Choosing the target site node number. “Enter the Node Number” Option If the first option is chosen (“Enter the node number”) the user will be prompted to enter the node number. If the user enters an invalid node number a message will be displayed asking to reenter the node number. Extrapolation can only be carried out to the nodes other than USU study sites. If the entered node corresponds to one of the USU study sites the user will get a message asking to enter another node number (Figure 9). Figure 9. The message the user gets if the entered node number is one of the USU study sites. The user will be asked if they would like to use the default source site for extrapolation or choose a new source site (Figure 10). If the user chooses to use the default extrapolation site they will be prompted to enter the file name to save the output. If the user chooses to select another source site for extrapolation the next window will show a list of USU study sites belonging to the same hydro group as the target site (Figure 11). If the chosen target and source sites have significantly different flow magnitude (e.g., one site is a small creek and the other site is a river) the user will get a message showing flow magnitudes for both sites (Figure 12). The user has a choice to either continue with the selected source site or choose another source site for the extrapolation.

The next steps are the same as described in the “Enter the Node Number” Option. (Figures 9 to 12). If extrapolating WUA curves, the user will be asked whether to output extrapolated values into a single .csv file or into the Habitat database (Figure 7) as described in “Extrapolate to All 300 nodes / Extrapolation of the WUA curves” section. Other Extrapolation Options If the user would like to extrapolate WUA curves to a number of nodes and use different source sites from those provided in the “Source-Target_337nodes.csv” file, the user can do it by either running the model for each node separately or by making corresponding changes in the ‘Source_Site’ column of the “Source-Target” file (replacing existing source sites with the new source sites).

In general, a stream where the proposed technique is expected to work well for all fish and life stages should not experience dramatic changes in substrate and/or cover availability from low to high flows. The more substrate/cover becomes available with increasing flows compared to low flow conditions the more the two approaches are expected to deviate. For more information on limitations of this approach see Appendix A. For complete description of the technique see Saraeva (2006; http://www.engineering.usu.edu/uwrl/inse/nooksack/ Saraeva/Dissertation.pdf ), chapter 3 (p.42) 6229 Program Setup 6230 6231 6232 Folder “Pictures” has to be in the same folder as the program itself.

The file should have 338 rows: 337 nodes and a header. Flow_Area_10and90exceedences.csv file is provided with the program. Figure 2 shows an example of the file. Figure 8. Example of the input file. Figure 9. First few records of the Master_WRIAHSC.txt Next, the user is asked to open a text file (.txt) containing habitat values (Figure 3). Master_WRIA1HSC.txt is provided with the program. If the user chooses to predict habitat at a number of nodes the program will ask for a comma delimited (.csv) file containing a list of nodes later in the run (Figure 5). The file provided with the program Nodes.csv contains a list of 253 nodes. To avoid selecting nodes with MAF higher than 130 cfs, any subset of the target nodes should be chosen from this file.

The user is given a choice to output predicted habitat values into individual comma delimited file(s) or the "tblWUA_MethodC" table in the database used as an input in the Habitat Time Series Model (within DSS) – Figure 4. Detailed description of the table and the database in given in the Technical Documentation: The Habitat Time Series Model. HabitatTimeSeriesInput.mdb database is provided with the program. If the user chooses to output habitat values into individual .csv files, separate for each node comma delimited files with predicted habitat values will be saved in the ‘PredictedHabitat_Nodes’ folder. If the folder already exists the user will be asked to either replace the folder or to enter a different folder name. If the user chooses to output habitat values into the database, the user will be prompted to open the database. If the user chooses to predict habitat at a single node, the program will display a window with the choice to either enter the node number or to see the map (Figure 7). If the entered number is not a valid node number the user will be asked the reenter the node number. If the entered node has a MAF of more than 130 cfs the user gets a message (Figure 8) and is asked to enter another node number. Figure 10. Predicted habitat output choice.

Results indicated that in most cases the two sets of habitat availability curves were very similar in shape (Figure C1-1) but differences were noted depending on the specific life stage being compared and attributed to the fundamental differences between frequency-based approach versus using the two-dimensional habitat model that incorporated substrate and cover for fry and juvenile life stages. Available habitat for fry and juvenile life stages depends greatly on substrate conditions and availability of cover, which are not taken into consideration when calculating available habitat using the frequency equations. Figure C1-2 shows a comparison of the habitat curves for fry for Squalicum Creek. The frequency based predictions of available habitat for fry fit quite well at the lower flows; while deviating more at higher flows where substrate and cover become important factors contributing to estimated habitat using the two-dimensional habitat model. The main channel usually serves as good habitat for these life stages at low to medium flows. When the flows increase further, velocities within the main channel become too high for fry and juvenile use; at the same time, shallow waters over gravel bars or vegetation outside of the main channel become available, which is highly suitable for these two life stages. These results show that when substrate and/or cover represent an important component of habitat availability, greater caution and expert judgment should be exercised when interpreting the frequency-derived estimates of available habitat. Figure C1-3 shows the RMSEs calculated by comparison of the two-dimensional habitat model and frequency based results for all small study sites for spawning, fry, juvenile, and adult life stages of selected fish species. Spawning and adult habitat relationships based on the frequency based approach are usually predicted with the lowest error (average RMSE 15.13% and 15.1%, respectively), whereas juvenile and fry habitat relationships derived from the frequency based approach have somewhat higher prediction errors (18.1% and 21.65%, respectively). Substrate was a contributing factor in misrepresenting available habitat for rainbow and kokanee spawning at Whatcom creek at high flows (the two higher points – Figure C1-3). The shapes of available habitat versus discharge curves were similar to those shown in Figure C1-2 for both approaches. The Hutchinson Creek site was treated as an outlier throughout the analysis. The stream is characterized by a very distinctive main channel and adjacent relatively flat gravel WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 299 6377 6378 6379 6380 6381 6382 6383 6384 6385 bars. The water begins to overtop the gravel bars in some places starting with relatively low flows, and then spreads out more with increasing flows, gradually.

Comparison of habitat vs. discharge relationships for chinook salmon (Bertrand Creek). These results show that when substrate and/or cover represent an important component of habitat availability, greater caution and expert judgment should be exercised when interpreting the frequency-derived estimates of available habitat. Figure C1-3 shows the RMSEs calculated by comparison of the two-dimensional habitat model and frequency based results for all small study sites for spawning, fry, juvenile, and adult life stages of selected fish species. Spawning and adult habitat relationships based on the frequency based approach are usually predicted with the lowest error (average RMSE 15.13% and 15.1%, respectively), whereas juvenile and fry habitat relationships derived from the frequency based approach have somewhat higher prediction errors (18.1% and 21.65%, respectively). Substrate was a contributing factor in misrepresenting available habitat for rainbow and kokanee spawning at Whatcom creek at high flows (the two higher points – Figure C1-3). The shapes of available habitat versus discharge curves were similar to those shown in Figure C1-2 for both approaches. The Hutchinson Creek site was treated as an outlier throughout the analysis. The stream is characterized by a very distinctive main channel and adjacent relatively flat gravel bars. The water begins to overtop the gravel bars in some places starting with relatively low flows, and then spreads out more with increasing flows, gradually providing more and more areas with depth and velocity suitable for all life stages of fish, so the available habitat for all target fish at this site increases with increasing flows. The frequency equations for depth work well for a regular shaped channel, but they are not able to reflect additional lower depths when the river overflows its active channel and inundates large flat areas. As a result, RMSEs for the majority of fish species and life stages for Hutchinson Creek were in the range between 35% and 45% (Figure C1-3). The hydraulic and habitat modeling were performed for flows ranging from 0.17 to 6.2 m3/s, while the MAF at this site was 2.45 m3/s. When a comparison of the habitat versus flow relationships are confined to flows ranging from 0.17 to 2.45 m3/s an average for the site RMSE was 15% (median RMSE – 18%). P P P P P P Tenmile Creek was another site that differed significantly from the rest of the intensively studied sites. The low flow channel of the stream is covered with sand (poor quality substrate/cover) while the margins are extensively covered with vegetation. When the flows increase the amount of high quality cover starts to increase significantly on both river banks (100% of additionally inundated area is high quality cover) highlighting the importance that substrate and cover can play in calculating available habitat. This leads to a misrepresentation of habitat curves for fry of all fish species (Figure C1-4), along with spawning and juvenile life stages of some species that are more sensitive to substrate when calculating habitat using the frequency equations. In general, a stream where the proposed technique is expected to work well for all fish and life stages should not experience dramatic changes in substrate and/or cover WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual 301 6437 6438 6439 6440 6441 6442 6443 availability from low to high flows. The more substrate/cover becomes available with increasing flows compared to low flow conditions the more the two approaches are expected to deviate. Tenmile Creek is an example of an extreme case: high quality cover increased from none to about 40% of the entire wetted area as the flow increased from the 90% to about the 10% exceedence flow, and all of the additional area represented favorable substrate/cover for target life stages (fry, juvenile, spawning).

In this instance, the frequency based approach gave a good approximation of available habitat for fry at flows below 0.7 m3/s (Figure CA2) where no significant P WRIA-1 DSS User’s Manual P 303 6462 6463 6464 6465 6466 6467 6468 6469 6470 6471 6472 6473 6474 6475 6476 6477 6478 6479 changes in substrate/cover conditions occurred, and misrepresented available habitat at higher flows where significantly more favorable conditions for fry substrate and cover became available. The most sensitive life stages to preferred substrate and cover availability used in our analyses are listed in Table C1-1 (RMSE higher than 10%). Another factor affecting the results is the shape of suitability curves. As a rule, life stages that are characterized by very narrow ranges of optimum values on the suitability curves of at least one parameter (velocity or depth) but especially both parameters are expected to have higher prediction errors. Table C1-2 lists life stages that have higher prediction errors due to the shape of suitability index curves (RMSE above 10%). Table C1-3 lists target fish and life stages with corresponding RMSEs averaged between small study sites. Since Hutchinson Creek had a unique shape of the riverbed and Tenmile Creek was characterized by significantly different substrate/cover conditions, they were omitted from these results. Most of the frequency based curves were predicted within a RMSE of 15% overall, and only two life stage curves were predicted with a RMSE of more than 20%.

Figure C1-5 shows prediction error residuals between WUA curves derived using the habitat model and calculated using the frequency-based approach for each modeled flow normalized by the MAF at the study site (Tenmile and Hutchinson creeks were excluded from this analysis). Available habitat for spawning was over predicted at low flows and had low prediction errors at high flows for all fish species except kokanee salmon and rainbow trout; for these two fish species prediction errors were extremely high at Whatcom and Squalicum Creeks at higher flows due to reasons discussed above. Available habitat for the fry life stages were on average over predicted at low flows and under predicted at high flows. Habitat for juvenile and adult life stages was on average over predicted at all flows. Steelhead fry, coho juvenile, and rainbow winter were the life stages predicted with the highest error (also shown in Table C1-3).
