In this ModuleConfigFile a specific transformation Module is used, PCRaster. PCRaster is used for the following 3 steps:

  1. PCRaster determines the discharge of the tributaries; the flow of the branch rivers is substracted from the total surface water flow.
    only_Q_tributaries = Qflow * branches_grid;
  2. Sums the discharges of all upstream river cells
    sum_Q_tributaries = upstream(stream_directions, only_Q_tributaries);
  3. Make the map with discharges of all upstream river cells at the crossing points of rivers.
    Output = sum_Q_tributaries * cross_points;

The following section provides an explanation of all the columns in the QTRIB sheet which is part ModuleConfigFile generation spreadsheet. In this case most information is specified in the template files:

Column Name

Explanation of contents

NAME

Name of the Modflow model involved

MI_PREFIX

The ModuleInstance prefix is the model abbreviation and is applied to all elements in the configuration files where the model prefix is used (file names, etc)

LOC

This column is referring to the locationID of the data which is input for the PCRaster transformation

TIMESTEP

This is referring to the the TimeStep used. It can either be nonequidistant or DaysOfMonth
