Check average annual water balance simulations at the HRU level

Source: R/check_hru_waterbalance.R
check_hru_waterbalance.Rd

This function applies check rules which were proposed by White et al. (2014) and which are implemented in SWATCheck for average annual water balance output variables. Different to SWATCheck the checks here are performed for all or only selected HRUs

Usage

check_hru_waterbalance(
  sim_verify,
  check = c("precip", "et", "runoff", "sw", "cn"),
  ignore_lum = NULL,
  add_values = TRUE
)

Arguments

sim_verify

Simulation output of the function run_swat_verification(). To plot the heat units at least the output option outputs = 'mgt' must be set in run_swat_verification()

check

Character vector to indicate which water balance components should be checked. Options are 'precip' to check precipitation, 'et' to check evapotranspiration and components of ET, 'runoff' to check runoff components such as 'wyld' (water yield), surq (surface runoff), or 'perc' (percolation), 'sw' to check the soil water content, and 'cn' to check curve number values.

ignore_lum

Character vector to define land uses which should be ignored in the water balance checks.

add_values

Boolean, to define wether to only show the checks (FALSE), or to also include the respective average annual water balance values.

Value

Returns a table of HRUs for which at least one of the selected checks identified a potential issue.
