This is a feature request from Drought Analyzer group, to improve the data import steps. Users have multiple sites (coordinates of all sites are stored in one text file) and users want to be able to quickly import the sites amp corresponding data values, and read the coordinates from the text file instead of manually entering them for each site. See the attached design specification.

Please comment on the proposed design: Order of steps, can the steps be further reduced, explanation text in the steps.

Development will be done on 2 levels:

Class and public Method for data import in HydroDesktop.Data.dll such as: Importer.ImportTimeSeries(fileName, fileFormat, timeColumnName, observationColumnName) The graphical user interface as described in the technical design document. To simplify the steps: If the stations.txt file and the station-001.txt, station-002.txt, station-003.txt ... files are in the same directory, then the files will be automatically recognized by the data import tool (no requirement for user to select each 'observations' file manually)

---- This is a summary of suggestions from meeting with U.S. HydroDesktop team)
