GSSHA has the ability to simulate sub-grid scale best management practice features. These are considered point features that alter the hydrology of the cell they are in.
5.9.1 Simulating BMPs in GSSHA
Point models of small scale features are simulated in GSSHA as part of a sub-grid BMP Calculator. They are included as a point solution within a grid cell (or other discrete unit). The Point solution is added to the solution at the grid cell to get the total cell response.
Point models affect the volume and timing of flow, sediment, and constituents. The control volume approach allows a wide range of BMPs to be simulated while using a common approach.
Essentially, the computed overland flow volume without BMPs is routed through the BMP, which then modifies the overland flow. The result is returned to the cell. A cell can have multiple BMPs. The outflow from one BMP is routed to the next in series.
5.9.2 Including BMPs in a GSSHA Project
To include BMPs in a project, 1) include the OV_BMP card in the project file and 2) include the BMP table in the mapping table file.
