# Presentation of the case study
Starting from the network and the calibration set in the vignette
"V02_Calibration_SD_model", we add 2 intake points for irrigation.
## Network configuration
The following code chunk resumes the procedure of the vignette
"V02_Calibration_SD_model":
```{r load_cache}
data(Severn)
nodes <- Severn$BasinsInfo[, c("gauge_id", "downstream_id", "distance_downstream", "area")]
nodes$model <- "RunModel_GR4J"
```
The intake points are located:
- on the Severn at 35 km upstream Bewdley (Gauging station '54001');
- on the Severn at 10 km upstream Saxons Lode (Gauging station '54032').
We have to add this 2 nodes in the network:
```{r updated_nodes}
nodes <- rbind(
nodes,
data.frame(
gauge_id = c("Irrigation1", "Irrigation2"),
downstream_id = c("54001", "54032"),
distance_downstream = c(35, 10),
model = NA,
area = NA
)
)
nodes
```
And we create the `GRiwrm` object from this new network:
```{r griwm}
griwrmV04 <- CreateGRiwrm(nodes, list(id = "gauge_id", down = "downstream_id", length = "distance_downstream"))
plot(griwrmV04)
```
Blue nodes figure upstream basins (rainfall-runoff modeling only) and green
nodes figure intermediate basins, coupling rainfall-runoff and hydraulic routing modeling.
Nodes in red color are direct injection points (positive or negative flow) in the model.
It's important to notice that even if the points "Irrigation1" and "Irrigation2"
are physically located on a single branch of the Severn river as well as gauging
stations "54095", "54001" and "54032", nodes "Irrigation1" and "Irrigation2" are
not represented on the same branch in this conceptual model. Consequently, with
this network configuration, it is not possible to know the value of the flow in
the Severn river at the "Irrigation1" or "Irrigation2" nodes. These values are
only available in nodes "54095", "54001" and "54032" where rainfall-runoff and
hydraulic routing are actually modeled.
## Irrigation objectives and flow demand at intakes
Irrigation1 covers an area of 15 km² and Irrigation2 covers an area of 30 km².
The objective of these irrigation systems is to cover the rainfall deficit
[@burtIrrigationPerformanceMeasures1997] with 80% of success. Below is the
calculation of the 8th decile of monthly water needed given
meteorological data of catchments "54001" and "54032" (unit mm/day) :
```{r monthly_water_need}
# Formatting climatic data for CreateInputsModel (See vignette V01_Structure_SD_model for details)
BasinsObs <- Severn$BasinsObs
DatesR <- BasinsObs[[1]]$DatesR
PrecipTot <- cbind(sapply(BasinsObs, function(x) {x$precipitation}))
PotEvapTot <- cbind(sapply(BasinsObs, function(x) {x$peti}))
Qobs <- cbind(sapply(BasinsObs, function(x) {x$discharge_spec}))
Precip <- ConvertMeteoSD(griwrmV04, PrecipTot)
PotEvap <- ConvertMeteoSD(griwrmV04, PotEvapTot)
# Calculation of the water need at the sub-basin scale
dailyWaterNeed <- PotEvap - Precip
dailyWaterNeed <- cbind(as.data.frame(DatesR), dailyWaterNeed[,c("54001", "54032")])
monthlyWaterNeed <- SeriesAggreg(dailyWaterNeed, "%Y%m", rep("mean",2))
monthlyWaterNeed <- SeriesAggreg(dailyWaterNeed, "%m", rep("q80",2))
monthlyWaterNeed[monthlyWaterNeed < 0] <- 0
monthlyWaterNeed$DatesR <- as.numeric(format(monthlyWaterNeed$DatesR,"%m"))
names(monthlyWaterNeed)[1] <- "month"
monthlyWaterNeed <- monthlyWaterNeed[order(monthlyWaterNeed$month),]
monthlyWaterNeed
```
We restrict the irrigation season between March and September As a consequence, the crop requirement can be expressed in m3/s as follows:
```{r}
irrigationObjective <- monthlyWaterNeed
# Conversion in m3/day
irrigationObjective$"54001" <- monthlyWaterNeed$"54001" * 15 * 1E3
irrigationObjective$"54032" <- monthlyWaterNeed$"54032" * 30 * 1E3
# Irrigation period between March and September
irrigationObjective[-seq(3,9),-1] <- 0
# Conversion in m3/s
irrigationObjective[,c(2,3)] <- round(irrigationObjective[,c(2,3)] / 86400, 1)
irrigationObjective$total <- rowSums(irrigationObjective[,c(2,3)])
irrigationObjective
```
We assume that the efficiency of the irrigation systems is equal to 50% as proposed by @secklerConceptEfficiencyWaterresources2003. as a consequence, the flow demand at intake for each irrigation system is as follows (unit: m3/s):
```{r}
# Application of the 50% irrigation system efficiency on the water demand
irrigationObjective[,seq(2,4)] <- irrigationObjective[,seq(2,4)] / 0.5
# Display result in m3/s
irrigationObjective
```
## Restriction of irrigation in case of water scarcity
### Minimal environmental flow at the intakes
In the UK, abstraction restrictions are driven by Environmental Flow Indicator (EFI) supporting Good Ecological Status (GES) [@klaarDevelopingHydroecologicalModels2014]. Abstraction restriction consists in limiting the proportion of available flow for abstraction in function of the current flow regime (Reference taken for a river that is highly sensitive to abstraction classified "ASB3").
```{r abstraction restriction rule}
restriction_rule <- data.frame(quantile_natural_flow = c(.05, .3, 0.5, 0.7),
abstraction_rate = c(0.1, 0.15, 0.20, 0.24))
```
The control of the abstraction will be done at the gauging station downstream all the abstraction locations (node "54032"). So we need the flow corresponding to the quantiles of natural flow and flow available for abstraction in each case.
```{r}
quant_m3s32 <- quantile(
Qobs[,"54032"] * griwrmV04[griwrmV04$id == "54032", "area"] / 86.4,
restriction_rule$quantile_natural_flow,
na.rm = TRUE
)
restriction_rule_m3s <- data.frame(
threshold_natural_flow = quant_m3s32,
abstraction_rate = restriction_rule$abstraction_rate
)
matplot(restriction_rule$quantile_natural_flow,
cbind(restriction_rule_m3s$threshold_natural_flow,
restriction_rule$abstraction_rate * restriction_rule_m3s$threshold_natural_flow,
max(irrigationObjective$total)),
log = "x", type = "l",
main = "Quantiles of flow on the Severn at Saxons Lode (54032)",
xlab = "quantiles", ylab = "Flow (m3/s)",
lty = 1, col = rainbow(3, rev = TRUE)
)
legend("topleft", legend = c("Natural flow", "Abstraction limit", "Irrigation max. objective"),
col = rainbow(3, rev = TRUE), lty = 1)
```
The water availability or abstraction restriction depending on the natural flow is calculated with the function below:
```{r}
# A function to enclose the parameters in the function (See: http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Functional-programming.html#closures)
getAvailableAbstractionEnclosed <- function(restriction_rule_m3s) {
function(Qnat) approx(restriction_rule_m3s$threshold_natural_flow,
restriction_rule_m3s$abstraction_rate,
Qnat,
rule = 2)
}
# The function with the parameters inside it :)
getAvailableAbstraction <- getAvailableAbstractionEnclosed(restriction_rule_m3s)
# You can check the storage of the parameters in the function with
as.list(environment(getAvailableAbstraction))
```
### Restriction rules
The figure above shows that restrictions will be imposed to the irrigation perimeter if the natural flow at Saxons Lode (`54032`) is under around 20 m3/s.
Applying restriction on the intake on a real field is always challenging since it is difficult to regulate day by day the flow at the intake. Policy makers often decide to close the irrigation abstraction points in turn several days a week based on the mean flow of the previous week.
The number of authorized days per week for irrigation can be calculated as follows. All calculations are based on the mean flow measured the week previous the current time step. First, the naturalized flow $N$ is equal to
$$ N = M + I_l $$
with:
- $M$, the measured flow at the downstream gauging station
- $I_l$, the total abstracted flow for irrigation for the last week
Available flow for abstraction $A$ is:
$$A = f_{a}(N)$$
with $f_a$ the availability function calculated from quantiles of natural flow and related restriction rates.
The flow planned for irrigation $Ip$ is then:
$$ I_p = \min (O, A)$$
with $O$ the irrigation objective flow.
The number of days for irrigation $n$ per week is then equal to:
$$ n = \lfloor \frac{I_p}{O} \times 7 \rfloor$$
with $\lfloor x \rfloor$ the function that returns the largest integers not greater than $x$
The rotation of restriction days between the 2 irrigation perimeters is operated as follows:
```{r}
restriction_rotation <- matrix(c(5,7,6,4,2,1,3,3,1,2,4,6,7,5), ncol = 2)
m <- do.call(
rbind,
lapply(seq(0,7), function(x) {
b <- restriction_rotation <= x
rowSums(b)
})
)
# Display the planning of restriction
image(1:ncol(m), 1:nrow(m), t(m), col = heat.colors(3, rev = TRUE),
axes = FALSE, xlab = "week day", ylab = "number of restriction days",
main = "Number of closed irrigation perimeters")
axis(1, 1:ncol(m), unlist(strsplit("SMTWTFS", "")))
axis(2, 1:nrow(m), seq(0,7))
for (x in 1:ncol(m))
for (y in 1:nrow(m))
text(x, y, m[y,x])
```
# Implementation of the model
As for the previous model, we need to set up an `GRiwrmInputsModel` object containing all the model inputs:
```{r}
# Flow time series are needed for all direct injection nodes in the network
# even if they may be overwritten after by a controller
QinfIrrig <- data.frame(Irrigation1 = rep(0, length(DatesR)),
Irrigation2 = rep(0, length(DatesR)))
# Creation of the GRiwrmInputsModel object
IM_Irrig <- CreateInputsModel(griwrmV04, DatesR, Precip, PotEvap, QinfIrrig)
```
# Implementation of the regulation controller
## The supervisor
The simulation is piloted through a `Supervisor` that can contain one or more `Controller`. This supervisor will work with a cycle of 7 days: the measurement are taken on the last 7 days and decisions are taken for each time step for the next seven days.
```{r}
sv <- CreateSupervisor(IM_Irrig, TimeStep = 7L)
```
## The control logic function
We need a controller that measures the flow at Saxons Lode ("54032") and adapts on a weekly basis the abstracted flow at the two irrigation points. The supervisor will stop the simulation every 7 days and will provide to the controller the last 7 simulated flow values at Saxons Lode ("54032") (measured variables) and the controller should provide "command variables" for the next 7 days for the 2 irrigation points.
A control logic function should be provided to the controller. This control logic function processes the logic of the regulation taking measured flows as input and returning the "command variables". Both measured variables and command variables are of type `matrix` with the variables in columns and the time steps in rows.
In this example, the logic function must do the following tasks:
1. Calculate the objective of irrigation according to the month of the current days of simulation
2. Calculate the naturalized flow from the measured flow and the abstracted flow of the previous week
3. Calculate the number of days of restriction for each irrigation point
4. Return the abstracted flow for the next week taking into account restriction days
```{r}
fIrrigationFactory <- function(supervisor,
irrigationObjective,
restriction_rule_m3s,
restriction_rotation) {
function(Y) {
# Y is in m3/day and the basin's area is in km2
# Calculate the objective of irrigation according to the month of the current days of simulation
month <- as.numeric(format(supervisor$ts.date, "%m"))
U <- irrigationObjective[month, c(2,3)] # m3/s
meanU <- mean(rowSums(U))
if (meanU > 0) {
# calculate the naturalized flow from the measured flow and the abstracted flow of the previous week
lastU <- supervisor$controllers[[supervisor$controller.id]]$U # m3/day
Qnat <- (Y - rowSums(lastU)) / 86400 # m3/s
# Maximum abstracted flow available
Qrestricted <- mean(
approx(restriction_rule_m3s$threshold_natural_flow,
restriction_rule_m3s$abstraction_rate,
Qnat,
rule = 2)$y * Qnat
)
# Total for irrigation
QIrrig <- min(meanU, Qrestricted)
# Number of days of irrigation
n <- floor(7 * (1 - QIrrig / meanU))
# Apply days off
U[restriction_rotation[seq(nrow(U)),] <= n] <- 0
}
return(-U * 86400) # withdrawal is a negative flow in m3/day on an upstream node
}
}
```
You can notice that the data required for processing the control logic are enclosed in the function `fIrrigationFactory`, which takes the required data as arguments and returns the control logic function.
Creating `fIrrigation` by calling `fIrrigationFactory` with the arguments currently in memory saves these variables in the environment of the function:
```{r}
fIrrigation <- fIrrigationFactory(supervisor = sv,
irrigationObjective = irrigationObjective,
restriction_rule_m3s = restriction_rule_m3s,
restriction_rotation = restriction_rotation)
```
You can see what data are available in the environment of the function with:
```{r}
str(as.list(environment(fIrrigation)))
```
The `supervisor` variable is itself an environment which means that the variables contained inside it will be updated during the simulation. Some of them are useful for computing the control logic such as:
- `supervisor$ts.index`: indexes of the current time steps of simulation (In `IndPeriod_Run`)
- `supervisor$ts.date`: date/time of the current time steps of simulation
- `supervisor$controller.id`: identifier of the current controller
- `supervisor$controllers`: the `list` of `Controller`
## The controller
The controller contains:
- the location of the measured flows
- the location of the control commands
- the logic control function
```{r}
CreateController(sv,
ctrl.id = "Irrigation",
Y = "54032",
U = c("Irrigation1", "Irrigation2"),
FUN = fIrrigation)
```
# Running the simulation
First we need to create a `GRiwrmRunOptions` object and load the parameters calibrated in the vignette "V02_Calibration_SD_model":
```{r}
IndPeriod_Run <- seq(
which(DatesR == (DatesR[1] + 365*24*60*60)), # Set aside warm-up period
length(DatesR) # Until the end of the time series
)
IndPeriod_WarmUp = seq(1,IndPeriod_Run[1]-1)
RunOptions <- CreateRunOptions(IM_Irrig,
IndPeriod_WarmUp = IndPeriod_WarmUp,
IndPeriod_Run = IndPeriod_Run)
ParamV02 <- readRDS(system.file("vignettes", "ParamV02.RDS", package = "airGRiwrm"))
```
For running a model with a supervision, you only need to substitute `InputsModel` by a `Supervisor` in the `RunModel` function call.
```{r}
OM_Irrig <- RunModel(sv, RunOptions = RunOptions, Param = ParamV02)
```
Simulated flows during irrigation season can be extracted and plot as follows:
```{r}
Qm3s <- attr(OM_Irrig, "Qm3s")
Qm3s <- Qm3s[Qm3s$DatesR > "2003-02-25" & Qm3s$DatesR < "2003-10-05",]
oldpar <- par(mfrow=c(2,1), mar = c(2.5,4,1,1))
plot(Qm3s[, c("DatesR", "54095", "54001", "54032")], main = "", xlab = "")
plot(Qm3s[, c("DatesR", "Irrigation1", "Irrigation2")], main = "", xlab = "", legend.x = "bottomright")
par(oldpar)
```
We can observe that the irrigation points are alternatively closed some days a week when the flow at node "54032" becomes low.
