Automating Perennial Network (Internal)

[bangen]

@wally-mac @mhallerud

The automated perennial code is as fine-tuned as I'm going to be able to get it for now. That being said, I think it does a pretty darn good job and I like that it's an objective approach. Here is a video giving an overview of what the script does (...sorry it's not as brief as I originally intended...). Here's a second, much shorter, video with a few items I forgot to mention.

@mhallerud I put the code under the 'SupportingTools' folder. It's not written as a batch script but should be easy enough for you to turn it into one. Holler if you need help.

@wally-mac a few questions for you:

• What are your thoughts about including intermittents as I outlined in the video(s)?
• What are your thoughts on using the code to regenerate the perennial networks for Idaho and TNC? From the 4 basins I worked with on the code the manual networks derived have a lot of canals, etc.

@bangen thanks for the informative videos on your automated perennial coding.

• Here is a link to a video that describes my feedback on including intermittents.
• Because the manual approach includes so many canals I think we should use your automated approach for Idaho and TNC.

@wally-mac The video link isn't working. Is it still uploading? Thanks!

Try it now.

@wally-mac I updated the script based on your feedback. You can check out the changes in this video. Think we're ready to roll this out unless there are any other changes you'd like to see.

@mhallerud Just a quick FYI that I updated the perennial network script based on Wally's feedback. There is now just a single script. So if you previously grabbed it you'll want to pull again before running the code.

Nice work @bangen! I really like the way you have it set-up. No changes needed.
