StateDMI / Command / ReadBlaneyCriddleFromHydroBase
Overview
The ReadBlaneyCriddleFromHydroBase command (for StateCU)
reads a list of Blaney-Criddle crop coefficients from the HydroBase database.
The crop coefficients can then be manipulated and output with other commands.

Command Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
BlaneyCriddleMethod |
The Blaney-Criddle method that is defined in HydroBase for the crop type and its coefficients. | None – must be specified. |
The crop type (e.g., ALFALFA) is used as the unique identifier.
Any previous crop coefficients objects will be added to (or replaced if identifiers match).
The BlaneyCriddleMethod parameter corresponds to a value in HydroBase and allows regional crop characteristics to be defined.
Examples
See the automated tests.
The following example command file illustrates how to read Blaney-Criddle coefficients from HydroBase, sort the data, create a StateCU file, and check the results:

# History:
#
# 2004-03-16 Steven A. Malers, RTi Initial version using StateDMI.
# 2007-04-23 SAM, RTi Update for Rio Grande Phase 5.
#
# Step 1 - read data from HydroBase
#
# Read the general Blaney-Criddle coefficients first and then override with Rio Grande
# data.
ReadBlaneyCriddleFromHydroBase(BlaneyCriddleMethod="BLANEY-CRIDDLE_TR-21")
ReadBlaneyCriddleFromHydroBase(BlaneyCriddleMethod="BLANEY-CRIDDLE_RIO_GRANDE")
#
# Step 3 - write the file
#
SortBlaneyCriddle(Order=Ascending)
WriteBlaneyCriddleToStateCU(OutputFile="rg2007.kbc")
#
# Check the results
#
CheckBlaneyCriddle(ID="*")
