1. The following metadata entry(ies) must be present in the study area section of the metadata associated with the project directory: nhd_gage_reachcode nhd_gage_measure_pct

Post conditions

1. Will write the following entry(ies) to the manifest section of metadata associated with the project directory: study_area_shapefile [the name of the catchment shapefile]

Usage:

GetCatchmentShapefileForStreamflowGage.py -p /path/to/project_dir

Note

EcoHydroWorkflowLib configuration file must be specified by environmental variable 'ECOHYDROWORKFLOW_CFG', or -i option must be specified.
