Exercise outline

The goal of this exercise is to create a simple hydrological volume model. In the end, it should be possible to run the volume model and inspect some (very simple) spatio-temporal output results.

...

Add to the plugin project a new folder named Models. In this folder, create a new class named DrainageBasin.cs and adapt the contents as shown below:

Note

In order to successfully build the code below, references need to be added to:

  • GeoAPI
  • GeoAPI.Extensions
  • NetTopologySuite.Extensions
  • SharpMap
  • SharpMap.API

These Dlls can all be found in the packages folder of the solution (D:\VolumeModel\packages\DeltaShell.Framework.1.1.1.34867\lib\net40\DeltaShell).
After adding the references be sure to set the copylocal property of the references to false to prevent duplication of dlls in the bin folder.

Now also add VolumeModel.cs to the Models folder and add the following code:

            volume.CoordinateSystem = (GeoAPI.Extensions.CoordinateSystems.ICoordinateSystem) basin.CoordinateSystem;
            // Ensure at least one catchment and one precipitation value is present
            ValidateInputData();
            // Initialize the output feature coverage
            volume.Features.AddRange(basin.Catchments);
            volume.FeatureVariable.FixedSize = basin.Catchments.Count();
            volume.FeatureVariable.AddValues(basin.Catchments);
        }

            {
                // Obtain the precipitation value for the current time
                var p = (double)precipitation[time];
                // Calculate a volume value for every catchment based on catchment area and precipitation value

                volume[time] = volumes;
            }
            Status = ActivityStatus.Done;
        }
        private void ValidateInputData()
        {
            var hasCatchments = basin.Catchments.Any();
            var hasPrecipitationData = precipitation.Time.Values.Any();
            if (!hasCatchments && !hasPrecipitationData)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException("At least one catchment and one precipitation value should be present");
            }
            if (!hasCatchments)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException("At least one catchment should be present");
            }
            if (! basin.Catchments.All(c => c.Geometry is IPolygon || c.Geometry is IMultiPolygon))
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException("All catchment features should be polygons");
            }
            if (!hasPrecipitationData)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException("At least one precipitation value should be present");
            }
        }
    }
} 

...

Register the model in the application plugin by adding the following code to VolumeModelApplicationPlugin.cs:

Code Block
languagec#
public override IEnumerable<ModelInfo> GetModelInfos()
{
    yield return new ModelInfo
        {
            Name = "Volume Model",
            Category = "Volume models",
            CreateModel = o => new Models.VolumeModel()
        };
}

...

We now only need to add a small importer for importing our custom DrainageBasin from a shapefile. Add a new class DrainageBasinImporter in the folder importers Importers and add the following code :

Code Block
languagec#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using DelftTools.Shell.Core;
using DeltaShell.Plugins.VolumeModel.Models;
using GeoAPI.Extensions.Feature;
using NetTopologySuite.Extensions.Features;
using SharpMap.Data.Providers;
namespace DeltaShell.Plugins.VolumeModel.Importers
{
    public class DrainageBasinImporter : IFileImporter
    {
        public string Name { get { return "Shape file importer"; } }
        
        public string Category { get { return "General"; } }
        
        public Bitmap Image { get; private set; }
        public IEnumerable<Type> SupportedItemTypes
        {
            get { yield return typeof(DrainageBasin); }
        }
        public bool CanImportOnRootLevel { get { return false; } }
        public string FileFilter { get { return "Shape file|*.shp"; } }
        public string TargetDataDirectory { get; set; }
        public bool ShouldCancel { get; set; }
        public ImportProgressChangedDelegate ProgressChanged { get; set; }
        public bool OpenViewAfterImport { get { return false; } }
        public bool CanImportOn(object targetObject)
        {
            return targetObject is DrainageBasin;
        }
        public object ImportItem(string path, object target = null)
        {
            var basin = target as DrainageBasin;
            if (basin == null)
            {
                throw new Exception("Can only import on drainage basins");
            }
            
            basin.Catchments.Clear();
            
            var shapeFile = new ShapeFile(path);
            
            foreach (var feature in shapeFile.Features.OfType<IFeature>())
            {
                basin.Catchments.Add(new Feature
                {
                    Geometry = feature.Geometry,
                    Attributes = feature.Attributes
                });
            }
            basin.CoordinateSystem = shapeFile.CoordinateSystem;
            return basin;
        }
    }
}

Also register the importer Important: this importer also needs to be registered at the GetFileImporters method in the VolumeModelApplicationPlugin class. Otherwise, it won't be accessible.

Exercise results

First of all, download the following WaterML2 XML file: WaterML2_precipitation_data.XML, if not done before. Also  Also download and unzip the shape files contained in the following archive: Gemeenten.zip. You will use all these data along the this exercise.

Next, run the application and start creating a new model item (right click on project | Add | New Model ...). Make sure that the new model is selected in the dialog:



If you now click on OK, a new model item should be added to the project with a structure as shown in the following image:Image Removed

Image Added


Try to run the model (right click on the volume model item | Run Model) and check the Messages window. The following error messages will be generated:

Image RemovedImage Added

As indicated in the error messages, some precipitation and catchment input data must be available in order for the model to be successfully run the model.

First, start importing some WaterML2 data on the precipitation time series item (right click the precipitation item | Import...). A file selection dialog automatically pops up. Select the previously downloaded WaterML2 XML file WATERML2_precipitation_data.xml.
After finishing the import, the precipitation item should contain data as shown in the following image (double click the precipitation item in the Project window):



Next, start importing a shape file on the basin Basin item (right click the basin Basin item | Import...)  and select the file Gemeente.shp.
Now, run the model again and notice that, this time, no new error messages have been are sent to the Messages window.
Open the volume output (double click the volume item in the Project window and select the Map view) and check that the model results agree with the ones shown in the following image:
