Within FEWS, and thus NGMS, locations are essential as they are the placeholder to all model inputs and output.
The locations concept and the application within NGMS is described in a seperate page.
One of the most time consuming and error prone parts of the system is setting up those locations and ensuring that the Ids of observation data and model data, as defined in the WEL and STR files, match the licences and or gauging stations. To assist in this process, a standard data template has been produced, as well as an locations-generator spreadsheet which automates the process of sorting, IdMapping and XML-file generation.
Locations are essential to hold the model data and to relate licences and observation boreholes to the modelsneed to be predefined.
