Single vs Multible Rain gages
In PySWMM as long as we have the rain gages set up in the SWMM INP file then PySWMM will run the program with multible rain gages.
[RAINGAGES] - Identifies each rain gage that provides rainfall data for the study area. Rain gages are assigned at the subcatchment level. Multible rain gages will be done at Subcatchment Level.
A Rain gage can have rainfall data in two ways.
- Rainfall timeseries in the INP file.
- Rainfall timeseries in an indepent file.
Currently we are using Rainfall from a timseries in the same file.
Timeseries is one of the sections in the INP file. [Timeseries] The format for the current Timeseries is as follows:
- Name - name of the timeseries
- Date - The date of the data (This is not a reqired section as Example6 Final does not have a date in this section.)
- Time - The in hours and min for the data.
- Value - The rainfall value.
