Background (continued)
Major
revision in late 1998
- WinTR-20 team was formed.

- WinTR-20 team charge was to:
1. Modernize and revise the TR-20 computer software.
2. Upgrade the source code to Visual Basic.
3. Change the philosophy of data input.
4. Provide plots.
5. Windows interface and output post-processor.
- First version of Windows based WinTR-20 was

released in late September 2004.

Sub-area/Reach Concepts
Watershed
Sub-areas
- system of sub-areas and reaches
- watersheds that generate runoff - feed into
the upstream end of reaches

Reaches
or Routing Elements- represent watershed
stream flow paths or structures

Channel Routing elements - Stream Reaches
Structure Routing elements - Reservoir/Structure
Reaches
Watershed Outlet -final reach (required for all
watersheds)

Minimum Data Requirements

Data
required for a single sub-area run can be

entered on the WinTR-20 System Controller/Editor
Main Window.
These data include:

WinTR-20 Identifier Input and Output Units Code,
Minimum Hydrograph Value, and Watershed Description
Storm Analysis Identifier Gage Rain Table (Type NO_A,
etc.), Gage Antecedent Runoff Condition, and Rainfall Data
Sub-Area Identifier Receiving Reach Outlet, Drainage
Area, Weighted Curve Number, Time of Concentration (Tc)
Global Output (at least one sub-area output item selected).

User Responsibility
Results
from the model can be

sensitive to the input data.
It
is the users responsibility to ensure

that all the input data (whether it is
actually entered or implied through
default values for blank data fields) is
appropriate.
