Exercises with AQUATOOL
In this section users can download several guided exercises which have been designed to train the learner on the use of AQUATOOL modules and working methods for river basin management analysis.
Some of these exemples may be found in the publication “Ejercicios de sistemas de recursos hídricos resueltos con aquatool” edited by the Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universitat Politècnica de València with reference 2010.181
Next exercises are only available in Spanish, for the time being.
Exercise 1
In this first exercise, the SIMGES, OPTIGES, GESCAL and Aquival modules are worked on in different sections.
Case study's decription
Data
Section 1: SIMGES
Development exercise of a simulation model of the management (SimGes) of a basin. It is an essential introductory course for new users of the program. It includes the use of the graphical interface (AquaTool) for the development of models and basic working criteria for the analysis and calibration of hydrological models.

Section 3: GESCAL
Development exercise of a model of integral simulation of the quality and quantity of water. Here we describe step by step how a water quality simulation model is developed with the GESCAL module. It is also essential for the initiation of the student in the use of this program.

Exercise 7
Below you can see the full modeling with RREA of a real basin. The report describes step by step the collection of data and its preparation to build the model and obtain results. It also includes all the data used, the calculations to be made and the complete model assembled using the two procedures: spreadsheet and graphical user interface.
The scheme worked is a simplification of the case of the Duero basin, although the data does not correspond to the real data. This case is published with the consent of the Planning Office of the Duero basin.
