VGEST

VGEST is software developped in Pascal by Jean-Claude Bader ¹. It serves to calculate water volume limits to be respected in reservoirs set up in parallel on a hydrographic network, to allow the best future satisfaction of a common downstream management objective (low-water support or flood lamination).

Requirements

VGEST has only been tested on Windows XP or superior.

• Download Free Pascal I386 for Windows 32 bits: https://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/win32.html
• Install it by running the downloaded executable

Compilation

At the root folder of this repository type the following command line (Adapt the path of fpc.exe according to your Free Pascal installation path):

C:\FPC\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe src\VGEST.PAS && move /Y src\VGEST.exe .
C:\FPC\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe src\ENDE.PAS && move /Y src\ENDE.exe .
C:\FPC\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe src\REGLAGE.PAS && move /Y src\REGLAGE.exe .

Get started with the example

The example directory contains all the configuration for calculating statistics about respecting a maximum flow of 110 m³/s at Paris. These statistics are calculated from the Seine River Basin naturalised flow database between 1993/01/01 and 2009/12/31 ².

Copy the files contained in the example directory to the root directory and run SURVGEST.bat.

Known issues

If a file MODE.TXT exists and it's content is different that "1", the software runs in interactive mode. In this mode the edition of the date of the study period is bugged.
