Hey team. allow me to introduce myself, I am Shinta studying at a university in Indonesia.
I'm currently doing research on the availability and demand for water in an area, I've followed the steps for making the Raifall Runoff model (soil moisture model) in all series as well as the tutorials and guides that have been provided by the Weap team but currently I'm stuck for a few weeks in the last step. model creation, namely the calibration and model validation sections using the same method, namely the "WEAP Model Inspector Tutorial". There is no significant difference between the tutorial and the model that I made, it's just that there are differences in the name, type, and amount of land cover which has an impact on the naming of the branch, both the demand site and catchment as well as in the key assumption section. In the tutorial given there are 7 branches of land cover types but in my model 8 different types of branches are needed, this makes it difficult for me to do the final part, namely calibration and validation. can the weap team help me with this problem?
thanks for the team's attention
the response and help from the team means a lot to me
Mr. Doug Chalmers

Shinta and for those wondering,
This is a question regarding the Model Inspector Tool, which aids in calibration. It is described in our YouTube video series on hydrology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn6MRbOTVA4&list=PLoJ3pxCzMP1uQRaimYV-wxJRRuIMNzdVU&index=12. The tool can be downloaded within the description of the video on YouTube. In general, do not worry about precisely matching the results of the video. The most important thing is to learn how to use the tool and calibrate a WEAP model.
We have since released a WEAP Tutorial on catchment calibration which has additional insight in calibration.
