FetchWaterML

This command line tool automates the process of downloading waterML files from CUAHSI WaterOneFlow servers. A waterML file stores a hydrologic time series (one location, one variable, multiple observations).

Installing

No installation is necessary, just download the current version. You may extract the four required files into any directory on your computer.

• FetchWaterML_vX-X.exe – the application where X-X is the version number
• run.bat – batch script for running the program (keeps the command window open after the program has completed)
• WaterOneFlow.dll – dll used by the application to proxy WaterOneFlow web services
• sites.xml – defines the time series to download

Using

• Update the sites.xml to include the time series you would like downloaded.
• Double click run.bat to run the program (running the bat file instead of the exe keeps the command window open so you can read the messages).
• If all works correctly, you should have new WaterML files, one for each time series, appear in your working directory.
