1.1
Settingup a DischargeGage
STEP 1: Open HEC-HMS 3.1.0 STEP 2: Open the HEC-HMS file saved from WMS STEP 3: Click Components Time-Series Data Manager STEP 4: Choose Discharge Gages under the Data Type drop down menu STEP 5: Click New STEP 6: Give the new gage a name STEP 7: Click Create STEP 8: Close the Time-Series Data Manager dialogue box STEP 9: Expand the Time-Series Data tree STEP 10: Expand the Discharge Gages Data tree STEP 11: Expand the Gage 2 Data tree STEP 12: Choose the gage listed under Gage 2 STEP 13: Under the Time Window tab, enter the correct starting and ending dates and time. NOTE: The starting dates and times must match the dates and time entered for the simulation STEP 14: Under the Table tab, enter the correct discharge data with units of m3/s STEP 15: Expand the Basin Models tree (if it wasnt already) STEP 16: Expand the WMS Watershed tree (if it wasnt already) STEP 17: Select your basin STEP 18: Under the Options tab, select your discharge gage under the Observed flow drop down menu STEP 19: STEP 20: STEP 21: STEP 22: STEP 23: Click Compute Create Simulation Run Click Next > three times Click Finish Under the Compute tab, right click on the Run you just created and click Compute At this point, you can check the result of the computed run by looking under the Results tab

Optimization
Click Compute Create Optimization Trial Click Next Choose the correct run and click Next Click Finish Under the Compute tab, expand the Optimization Trials tree Expand the Trial tree Right click on the trial you just created and click Add Parameter (repeat this step until you have as many parameters as needed) STEP 8: Click on Parameter 1 STEP 9: Under the Parameter 1 tab, choose your basin under the element drop down menu. STEP 10: Under the Parameter 1 tab, choose the parameter you want to optimize under the Parameter drop down menu STEP 11: Under the Parameter 1 tab, choose No under the Locked drop down menu, and choose appropriate values for the Initial Value, Minimum, and Maximum STEP 12: Repeat Steps 8-11 for all the parameters added STEP 13: Right click on the trial and click Compute
