Summary
This tutorial reviews screens, icons, and basic functions of the SDMProjectBuilder (SDMPB). It
demonstrates how one chooses a 12-digit HUC for analysis, performs an assessment of land-applied
microbes by simulating microbial fate and transport using HSPF, and analyzes and visualizes the results
at multiple locations in the watershed using BASINS. It shows how to
• Initiate the execution of SDMPB.
• Navigate the SDMPB.
• Identify and label a 12-digit HUC.
• Develop the necessary input files to execute HSPF successfully.
• Develop the necessary input file to view results from the SDMPB and HSPF.
• Register the HSPF simulation with BASINS.
• Use HSPF to simulate SDMPB's problem statement.
• View simulation results for flows and microbial densities with BASINS.

Land-applied Microbial Loadings within a 12-Digit HUC
PURPOSE
Automate the data acquisition process for input data requirements of a confederation of models
OBJECTIVE
Preform an assessment of microbial fate and transport within a 12-digit HUC by capturing contextual
data for the watershed model WinHSPF (a.k.a. HSPF) and pre-populate its input data files to account for
• Overland runoff;
• Snow accumulation/melt;
• Hourly simulations;
• NLDAS meteorological data;
• Land-applied microbial loadings; and
• Microbial fate and transport.
DEMONSTRATION
This tutorial reviews screens, icons, and basic functions of how one takes the output from the
SDMProjectBuilder (SDMPB) and performs a microbial fate and transport analysis within a 12-digit
Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC-12). A HUC-12 is a subwatershed between 16 and 63 mi2. Application of the
watershed model HSPF is demonstrated, as well as visualization of results at multiple locations in the
watershed using BASINS. The application demonstrates how to
• Initiate the execution of SDMPB.
• Navigate the SDMPB.
• Identify and label a 12-digit HUC.
• Develop the necessary input files to execute HSPF successfully.
• Develop the necessary input file to view results from the SDMPB and HSPF.
• Register the HSPF simulation with BASINS.
• Use HSPF to simulate SDMPB's problem statement.
• View simulation results for flows and microbial densities with BASINS.

8. Whelan et al. (2015b) explains how a user can find a HUC-8 within the United States by zooming in
on the State and County or directly inputting the HUC-8 identifying Catalog Unit (CU) code. In this
case, catchments in the Manitowoc, Wisconsin County basin will be analyzed, within the HUC-8
04030101 near Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Do not close "Navigation Helper" until instructed.
• Check the "NHD+" and "HUC-12" boxes
• Type "04030101" as the "HUC 8"
• Click "Zoom" to the right of "HUC 8".
Whelan et al. (2015b) explains how one labels the HUC-8s with CU codes.

14. Choose the "Select" button (red circle), then the appropriate HUC-12 (i.e., headwaters Killsnake
River) as illustrated below. In this example, you are identifying a single HUC-12 (i.e., headwaters
Killsnake River) in the Manitowoc Watershed, as highlighted in the figure below; highlight the single
HUC-12 shown. The SDMPB allows the user to choose any HUC-12. Because it does not account for
any upstream inflow to the HUC, it is advisable to choose only headwater HUCs when defining a
single HUC-12. It should be noted that overland flow simulations are not a function of instream flow
simulations, so these computations are not compromised if a non-headwater HUC is chosen. A
future plan will allow the user to specify an upstream boundary condition to address this issue.

Check the "nhdflowline" Map Layer. If it is not at the top of the listing, move it there to ensure it is
the outermost projection, and it will appear on the map. To see where the ponded waters are
located, check the Map Layer titled "nhdwaterbody for 04030101". This provides a full picture of
water sources and their locations.

Table 1 summarizes the metadata associated with the parameters contained within each file, including
definitions and units.
These files must be reviewed by the user to ensure they are applicable to the watershed of interest. For
this example problem, the following modifications will be made:
• Domestic Animals and Wildlife
o Farm locations with domestic animal numbers and types, their production rates along
with production rates in built-up areas, number of animal grazing days, and fraction of
animal-generated manure applied to the soil will remain unchanged, as documented in
the AnimalLL.csv, FCProdRates.csv, GrazingDays.csv, and ManureApplication.csv
example templates, respectively. The farm locations reflect actual farm locations within
the Manitowoc Basin. No changes to any of these files are necessary.
o Different first order die-off rates will be used for land-applied microbes, so
modifications to the MonthlyFirstOrderDieOffRateConstants.csv example template are
necessary.
o Wildlife densities will be changed to reflect the actual number of deer in this area, so
the WildlifeDensities.csv example template will be modified.
• Point Sources
o There will be no point sources. Whelan et al (2015c) describe several ways to exclude
point sources. The two default point source locations defined in PointSourceLL.csv just
happen to randomly fall within our watershed. The user can do any of three things to
remove the use or impacts of a point source: (1) change Latitude-Longitude coordinates
to locations outside of the watershed, (2) reduce the point source loadings to de
minimus levels in PointSourceData.csv, or (3) within HSPF, remove the point source from
the simulation (see Whelan et al., 2015c). In this example, Latitude-Longitude pairs will
be changed to a location outside of the watershed. Because only microbes are
associated with this assessment, the reference to chemicals in PointSourceData.csv will
be removed.

• Septic Systems
o Septic locations and their metadata, represented by SepticsLL.csv and

o The intermediate Latitude-Longitude locations listed in BoundaryPoints.csv and

impact the simulations, their contents will remain unchanged.

WildlifeDensities. csv
The wildlife densities associated with this region of Wisconsin tend to be dominated by deer, with
typical fall and winter densities of 29 and 21 deer/mi2, respectively (WDNR, 2015). 29 deer/mi2 will be

assumed to be associated with agricultural (pasture and cropland) and forest land types. No deer will be
associated with Built areas. Because recreational activities with beaches typically occur during summer
and fall, fall numbers will be used in this analysis.

39. Use the choices and values included in this figure:
• "3" for the "Minimum Catchment Size". During delineation, an attempt will be made to
delineate subwatersheds to at least this sizewhich ensures that modeling very small
subwatersheds is kept to a minimum.
• "3" for the "Minimum Flowline Length". During delineation, an attempt will be made to
delineate subwatersheds so that river segments have at least this length. This ensures that
modeling very small river segments is kept to a minimum.
• "0.1" for the "Ignore Landuse Areas Below Fraction". During delineation, land use types below
this fraction of total land use will be combined. This ensures that modeling de minimus land use
types is minimized.
• "1990" for the "Simulation Start Year" which is the year in which the simulation begins.
• "2000" for the Simulation End Year" which is the year in which the simulation ends.
• "HSPF" for the watershed model.
o "Hourly" for the "Output Interval". Simulations are hourly within HSPF, but the output
can be presented in a number of units such as hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annually,
etc..
o "Degree Day" for the "Snow" calculation. This option determines if snow accumulation
and melt calculations are included. Choices are No Snow, Energy Balance method, or
Degree Day method.
o "Microbes" determines if microbes will be simulated. If not chosen, all microbial data
will be ignored.
o "Land-Applied Chemical" indicates there is a chemical application equally applied to all
agricultural lands within the watershed.
o "Chemical Properties" indicates that if a chemical is applied, this button allows the user
to modify its physicochemical properties.

41. Use the choices and values included in this figure:
• Choose STATSGO which is less detailed than SSURGO for soil options.
• Choose "NLDAS Precipitation". NLDAS is the North American Land Data Assimilation System and
contains automatic quality control (QC), uses hourly gauge station data and modeled
precipitation, provides estimates at hourly intervals with a l/8th-degree resolution, and
provides precipitation time series at specified locations (Kim et al., 2014). This is used in
conjunction with NCDC NOAA meteorological data which supplies information for regional data,
such as air temperature. BASINS uses cached NCDC data up to 2009. For direct access to hourly
NCDC data, choose "NCDC, but the user must obtain a Token ID. Subwatersheds default to the
nearest MET station.
• Choose the "NHDPIus Elevation" for Elevation and "NHDPIus" for Delineation.
• The name of the file should already be identified, but a different name or location can be
selected by choosing the name of the file (e.g., *.mwprj) and where it is saved. The .mwprj file is
a MapWindow (mw) Project (prj) file directly consumed by BASINS. The program will
automatically identify the working folder structure the user originally created. If a special
location and name is chosen, the user may identify a special folder using "Save Project As".
• To allow data retrieval, check "Add Layers To Map During Project Creation".

45. When the SDMPB has finished running, you will see the message below. If the user chooses
• "Ok", SDMPB will exit and close down.
• "Open Folder", the user will be redirected to the working folder location.
• "Open in BASINS", BASINS will automatically open with the SDMPB map layers for this
assessment.
When exiting the SDMPB, the following files are created:
a. BASINS File: *.mwprj, the MapWindow Project file that contains the conceptual layout and
map layers of the assessment.
b. HSPF-related Files pertinent to these examples include the:
i. *.uci file, which is the User Control Input file. It is a flat file containing all non-time
series data. The UCI file is the controlling input file for HSPF. Based on choices of the
user, the SDMPB automatically constructs the HSPF UCI file. Appendix A reviews
some of the contents of the UCI file related to this tutorial to show where data were
captured in this file. It is presented for the more advanced user who is familiar with
HSPF and its UCI file and is not required reading for this tutorial.
ii. *.wdm files, which is the Watershed Data Management files. These binary files
contain time series data (i.e., weather, input, output, calibration, etc.).
iii. *.hbn file, which is the HSPF Binary output file that contains binary output.
Although not recommended at this time due to a potential error in DotSpatial, ways that a user can
view the typical map layers generated by SDMPB are reviewed in Appendix B.

LABEL SUBWATERSHEDS, RIVER REACHES, MET STATIONS
To plot results effectively, the user must identify subwatersheds (i.e., subbasins), stream reaches, and
MET stations, etc. with aunique identifier. This section reviews labeling protocols for subwatersheds,
river reaches, and MET stations.
Increase the NLDAS Symbol Size
63. It is hard to differentiate NLDAS MET stations from the domestic animal/septic locations, so
• uncheck the other map layers since NLDAS symbols may actually be hidden behind other
symbols and
• increase the size of the NLDAS symbol by double-clicking on the NLDAS Grid Center symbol
(see blue arrow):

VIEW SIMULATION RESULTS FOR FLOWS AND MICROBIAL DENSITIES USING BASINS
There are two ways to view HSPF simulation results: create a graph of the output time series or view the
time series in tabular form. The following related topics will be covered:
• Register HSPF Simulation and Data Files
• View Graphical Simulation Results for Hourly Discharges at Multiple Locations
• Modify the Look and Feel of the Graphical Plots
• View Simulation Results for Hourly and Daily Discharges at the Same Location
• View Microbial Simulations: Time Series of Microbial Densities at Multiple Locations
• View Tabular Results Associated with Hourly Discharge and Microbial Density Simulations
Register HSPF Simulation and Data Files
82. Go to the "File", then "Manage Data" menu. The user may see a pre-loaded met.wdm file, as
illustrated below. Time series data sources from the HSPF simulation are needed for viewing
simulation results, so they will be added.

been previously defined as cfs (ft3/s) even though the y-axis does not display the units. This figure
can be modified in the same manner as hourly graphs. NOTE: One curve (HOURLY 04030101 RO) is
plotted with the left y-axis (maximum of 1000) and the other curve (DAILY 04030101 FLOW) is
plotted with the right y-axis (maximum of 500), making it appear that the daily average flows are

A similar example could be constructed for microbial densities, but density fluctuations would be on a
log, not linear, scale. If individual storm events, which could vary hourly, impact exposure levels to
sensitive receptors at recreational areas, then producing daily average values could miss critical peak
exposure events, hence, the reason for using hourly simulations and capturing hourly results.
View Microbial Simulations: Time Series of Microbial Densities at Multiple Locations

APPENDIX B
Typical Map Layers Generated by the SDMPB
This appendix briefly reviews typical map layers captured by the SDMPB. To view them, save the
simulation prior to closing the "Finish Building Project Window". Regardless of whether SDMPB results
are saved, the BASINS MapWindow project (*.mwprj) and HSPF UCI (*.uci) files will be created and
saved for the watershed analysis. The various map layers can be viewed in BASINS. In this alpha version,
it is not recommended to save the results since saving multiple use cases may result in some dotSpatial
instability in later runs. This issue will be investigated.
Typical map layers generated by the SDMPB are as follows:
1. When finished running the SDMPB, you will see a message similar to the one below.
Frames SDM

C:\Users\gwhelan\iemTechnologies\SDMPB\TESTA\TESTA.mwprj
2. Prior to making a choice, go to the SDMPB menu bar, choose "File", then "Save".

4. The SDMPB will automatically close. To inspect results of the data downloads, execute the
SDMProjectBuilder (SDMPB) by clicking on the shortcut icon displayed on the computer screen.

The map displays only checked Map Layers, arranged in the following order:
• NHDPIus Flowline (nhdflowline.shp) Role: Hydrograhy (two of them)
• NHDPIus Waterbody (nhdwaterbody) (nhdwaterbody.shp) Role: Hydrography
• NHDPIus Catchment Polygons (catchment) (catchment.shp) role: SubBasin)
Layers can be interrogated individually by turning various Map Layers "on" and "off" and manipulating
color and opaqueness. For example, the NHDPIus elevations (in cm) for the area can be viewed below
(color gradation represents elevation gradation):

The external sources (EXT SOURCES) block assigns MET data to each subwatershed (subbasin). Since we
only pull precipitation data from NLDAS, the other met constituents are from a BASINS station that has
the full suite of meteorological data (Green Bay).
