Add/Change a Demand

  1. For direct flow demand: Edit the diversion demand file (*.ddm) using the StateDMI commands and either set the monthly demand or read in an external StateMod formatted file (*.stm) with the demand.
  2. For reservoir demand: Edit the reservoir demand file (*.tar) using the TSTool commands and either set the minimum/maximum monthly demands or read in an external StateMod formatted file (*.stm) with the demands.
    • See Section 4 for information on flood control operations (e.g. use of “-1” in the target file)
  3. For instream flow demand: Edit the instream flow demand file (*.ifa/*.ifm) using the TSTool commands and either set the monthly demand or read in an external StateMod formatted file (*.stm) with the demand.
    • Use a monthly instream flow demand file (*.ifm) to input a demand for each month in the simulation period.
    • Use an annual instream flow demand file (*.ifa) to input twelve monthly demands to be used for each year.
    • Set the demand type in the instream flow station file (*.ifs).
  4. Confirm the revised demand files (*.ddm, *.tar, *.ifa/m) are reflected in the response file (*.rsp) and simulate the model.
