CSDP Network Summary Report

The CSDP Network Summary Report is created by the CSDP. It helps identify issues and potential problems with cross-sections in the currently loaded network file. It also contains comparisons of DSM2 Virtual Cross-Section volume with GIS-calculated volumes.

Input Files

  1. Channels.inp file: Used to get existing channel lengths for comparison and determine channel connectivity.
  2. Network file: The currently loaded network file.
  3. DSM2 output (.hof) file: Created by running DSM2-Hydro with geometry from the network file.
  4. 2m DEM CutFill validity file: Created based on visual inspection of channel polygon coverage in the 2m DEM files.
  5. CutFill results files: Contain results from CutFill operations for a given DEM.
  6. Optional channel groups list: Default is the list of groups for which polygons were created and used in CutFill operations.

Report Contents

  1. Channel: DSM2 channel name/number or group of channels.
  2. Length Comparison:
  3. Channels.inp length: Length specified in the DSM2 channels file.
  4. CSDP length: Length calculated by the CSDP.
  5. % Change: Difference between CSDP and Channels.inp lengths.
  6. CSDP Average Width: Used for GIS volume estimate validity.
  7. Volume Comparison:
  8. CSDP Volume: Channel volume calculated by CSDP.
  9. DSM2 Volume: Volume from DSM2 output.

Creating the Report

  1. Load a bathymetry file.
  2. Load or create a network file.
  3. Select Network > Reports > Network Summary Report.
  4. Fill in the dialog and save the results to a tab-delimited .txt file.
  5. Import the file into Excel for further analysis.
