Issue in running LISFLOOD calibration for the basin reg.

[diksha922]

Hello @StefaniaGrimaldi.

Thank you for guiding me to run the basic LISFLOOD model.

Now, I am trying to run the lisflood calibration for the Tapi basin to calibrate the basin with the observed streamflow at the gauging site.

I am following the steps mentioned on the web to install and run lisflood calibration. However, I am unable to run the calibration tool for the basin.

The steps mentioned in the portal are not clear to me. Even I am not getting the sequence of steps to run the lisflood calibration.

Is there a requirement to create an environment?

Please guide me to understand the step-by-step process.

Thanks & Regards,

Diksha Gupta

Dear @diksha922,

it is great to know that you were able to run OS LISFLOOD for the Tapi catchment!

Regarding the calibration tool, we are working on an extensive revision of the documentation. You might be interested in the working document: calibtool_instructions_working_document.docx

Furthermore, we recommend consulting this issue: https://github.com/ec-jrc/lisflood-calibration/issues/7

We will do our best to reply to specific questions regarding the execution of the various steps.

Kind regards, on behalf of the developers team, Stefania

Hello @StefaniaGrimaldi,

I am working on the calibration of the Tapi basin. I cannot create the "station_data.csv" and "station_link.csv" files for the Tapi basin. Can you please help me with this?

Thanks & Regards,

Hello @StefaniaGrimaldi .

Any updates on the above issue?

Dear @diksha922,

station_link.csv is generate by https://github.com/ec-jrc/lisflood-calibration/blob/master/bin/CAL_3_PREP_MISC.py. You can find an example of station_link.csv here https://github.com/ec-jrc/lisflood-calibration/blob/master/tests/data/stations_links.csv

Please note that in order to run https://github.com/ec-jrc/lisflood-calibration/blob/master/bin/CAL_3_PREP_MISC.py you must first complete the previous steps of the calibration tool.

This issue https://github.com/ec-jrc/lisflood-calibration/issues/7 provides useful information.

Kind regards, Stefania

Hello @StefaniaGrimaldi.

I am still unable to run the model calibration. Till now, I have completed the basic LISFLOOD model.

I am unable to figure out what files are required to be prepared for model calibration for Tapi basin. Can you please help me out with the step-by-step procedure and files required at each step to run the model calibration. I also have the issues that what are different files are used and how they are linked.

It will be good if the clear steps alongwith the needed files with its format/content be provided. Also, it will be good if an example of model calibration of a basin be provided with all the required files for hydrological simulation. The examples available on lisflood-calibration are not clear for generating required files for my basin.

Please help me out.

Thanks & Regards,

Diksha Gupta

Dear @diksha922,

thank you for your kind suggestions on how to improve the documentation and the user guide for the calibration tool. Unfortunately, at the moment we are all busy with operational tasks, we will follow up on your suggestions as early as possible, in 2025. Nevertheless, we are aware that other users successfully completed the calibration for their case study by following the information already available (see my answers above). For instance, the first step is explained into detail here https://github.com/ec-jrc/lisflood-calibration/issues/7#issuecomment-1210445292 : this message explains the input argument to the python code.

Kind regards, Stefania
