Wetland Water Budget Modeling Software Support and Tutorials for Version 3.0

  • Wetbud Technical Support forum is available on Google Groups.
  • The most recent User’s Manual is available here and will also be supplied with your download. The information in the User’s Manual is also provided to Wetbud users as context sensitive help.
  • Before you start we suggest that you view these video tutorials. They are broken into short topics to help you use Wetbud to calculate water budgets for created and restored wetlands. For questions, please use our Wetbud Technical Support forum.
    • #1 – Introduction to Wetbud – Learn how to use Wetbud to calculate water budgets for created and restored wetlands. (Also found on YouTube)
    • #2 – Water Budget Basics – Learn how to use the Project Wizard.
    • #3 – Basic Scenarios – Learn how to duplicate a Scenario and change the default values assigned by the Project Wizard to better reflect your site.
    • #4 – A Closer Look at Soils – Learn how to correct the groundwater-out estimate, change storage values and add an impermeable layer.
    • #5 – Open Water Features – Learn how to incorporate a stage storage curve to represent systems with open water features.
    • #6 – Overbank Flow – Learn how to define characteristics of an adjacent stream and add overbank flow as an input to your model.
    • #7 – Hydroperiods – Learn how to compare model outputs to target hydroperiods to determine if you are hitting your design goals.
    • #8 – Reports – Learn how to generate a comprehensive report for use in a plan set or site evaluation documentation.
    • #9 – Effective Monthly Recharge – Learn how Wetbud can calculate groundwater flux for years without monitoring well data using relatively short calibration period.
    • #10 – Making a Weather Station– Learn how to create your own weather station so you can calculate water budgets for sites any where in the world.
    • #11 – Advanced User Features– Learn how to use integrated statistical analyses and to add new data from the Wetbud team.
    • #12 – Advanced Models– Explanation of what the Advanced Models are, identify when it is appropriate to use one, and how Wetbud can be used as a graphical interface for the USGS MODFLOW program.
