INSTRUCTION

1. Prerequisites

   SWAT2Cycles script requires Python 3.x with Pandas and Numpy packages.

2. Prepare your SWAT management file

   Please save your SWAT scheduled management operations into a comma delimited file. A sample scheduled management operation file (mgt2.csv) can be found in the data directory.

   The code requires SWAT plant, tillage, and fertilizer databases (plant.dat, till.dat, and fert.dat), which are provided.

3. Convert management file

   You can specify multiple HRUs using an HRU list file:

   python3 ./swat2cycles.py [-l HRU_LIST_FILE] [-f SWAT_MGT_FILE]

   or specify one HRU using:

   python3 ./swat2cycles.py [-s SUBBASIN] [-u HRU] [-f SWAT_MGT_FILE]

   Note that the script will look for the SWAT management file in the data directory.

   An example HRU list file (list.txt) is provided.

   The converted Cycles operation files are named as SBxHRUy[LANDUSE], where x is the sub-basin index, y is the HRU index, and LANDUSE is the name of land use in the chosen HRU.
