1. PyWaPOR set up

To set up pyWaPOR for your own case study you require the following information to configure the set up:

  • bounding box of the study area
  • start and end of the cropping season

The bounding box of your study area can be found from a shapefile. Open the shapefile in QGIS and look in the 'properties' for the 'extent'. Copy this to the python script (check that it is presented as [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]). 

As we are running the script on a regular laptop, we can only download and process 1 month of pyWaPOR data, select a month in the middle of your cropping season and select 5 days before and 5 days after to run pyWaPOR. 

Note: Even if you dont have a high end computer, you could create the seasonal data, one month at a time.
