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 time series - 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.
