Input data is related specifically to the component models and methods selected in setting up a WaterCAST scenario. Typically, input data consists of climate, topography, land use and management practices.

More information about file formats for WaterCAST can be found in the Toolkit Data Files guide.

The predictions produced by an WaterCAST integrated catchment model depend on the component models selected for that project.

Example outputs include flow and constituent loads, as time series charts for particular sub-catchments, nodes or links, or catchment maps of load.

There are a broad range of choices, and sub-sets of outputs, such as for a single sub-catchment, can be selected if required.

WaterCAST V1.0 release

Users need to be aware that outputs generated by WaterCAST are NOT automatically saved when the overall project is saved. Users need to save each output manually to their computer. This means that every time a project is opened the outputs need to be generated again by running each scenario in WaterCAST.
