Welcome to MIP app help section
******Installation******
1. Click on MIP_2016_1.0.exe.
2. To uninstall simply right click over the app in start menu and then click on uninstall.
3. This app is designed to work with standalone winGRASS-GIS 7.2.0. Make sure you have
installed GRASS GIS 7.2.0 before you execute this app. If you have not installed standalone
executable GRASS GIS 7.2.0 then follow this link to download GRASS GIS 7.2.0 Download
GRASS GIS 7.2.0
4. While installing Grass-gis, users will be asked if they want to download and install datasets
such as (North Carolina, South Dakota, etc.) or not. This dataset can be skipped, which means you
can leave the radio button of these options unchecked.
An installer will also ask for installing important C-compiller. Do not skip this. Skipping the
C-compiler might throw different error during its execution.
6. During the installation of MIP_2016, make sure both radio-button of py-launcher and python
package are Checked.

*****Execution******
1. Shortcut icon for MIP app will be in start menu.
2. (*) represents the field is for Essential input (4 items).
i. Date: This is the date of the stream measurement.
ii. Snow-fed or Rain-fed: Select from dropdown box whether the catchment is rain-fed or
snow-fed.
iii. Measured Flow for MIP method (l/s).
iv. Enter East coordinate (longitude) in 6 decimal degree places, Enter North coordinate
(latitude) in 6 decimal degree places.
3. (* *) represents that the field is for Optional input (4 items).
i. Project Name
ii. River Name
iii. Output File Name
iv. Do you want a catchment basin shapefile output (yes/no)
4. (* * *) represents field is System Output (6 items).
i. Catchment Area is calculated directly from the DEM using the coordinates above in 2(iv).
ii. District, VDC is determined from the coordinates above in 2(iv). Note: If the result is
different to expected, check the coordinates for errors and run again.
iii. MIP region, is determined from the coordinates above in 2(iv).
iv. Specific Discharge (l/s/km^2) is calculated from the catchment area determined from
coordinates and measured discharge input in 2(iii) above.
v. Flood Basin is determined from the coordinates above in 2(iv) for the MIP flood basin.
vi. Flood flows are determined from the basin in 3(v) above and the catchment area determined
in 4(i) above, for 2, 25 and 100 year return periods.
***** Output *****
i. Graph results are plotted on log scale of half month (15 day) periods.
ii. A sketch of the catchment is given in lower left corner of the screen.
iii. Tabulated results in half months (15 day) intervals.

Graph tools (Functions briefly outlined below as per successive order)
i. Home: Reset original view
ii. Backward: Back to previous view
iii. Forward: Forward to next view
iv. Pan/zoom: Pan axes with left mouse and zoom with right
v. Zoom: Zoom to rectangle
vi. Configure: Configure subplots (Boarders, Spacing, etc.)
vii. Edit: Customize axes, curve and image parameters
viii. Save: Save the figure
***** Notes *****
1. The unit of catchment area is square-kilometer.
2. Input coordinates must be a decimal degree. It will be converted into meter unit on-the-
fly and will be printed in console as module execution proceed.
3. The screenshot, pngfiles and shapefile will be stored in desktop of the user. These
folders will be named as MIP_screenshots, MIP_pngfiles and MIP_shapefile respectively.
Name of screenshot will be name of "output Basin name field" therefore if this field is left
empty then the screenshot name will be simply: .jpg
4. The completion of catchment area delineation task depends on system configuration.
Greater the RAM size means lesser execution time and vice-versa.
5. The cmd console that opens along with MIP layout is there to let user monitor the
progress of app while executing Grass modules. While exiting make sure you close the
MIP layout first and then cmd console.
6. The label in the x-axis of the plot has been divided into 24 ticks. Each two ticks means a
complete month. Eg. (1st May, 2nd May) means that the first May denotes 15 days and
remaining days (16-30 ) of the month by second May.
7. The app takes comparatively a bit longer time for the first time it is being executed. It is a
time taken for system configuration in the background.
8. To save an information displayed in the interface, click on File menu located at the top
left corner and click on save option or directly use short-cut key "ctrl + s". Regarding the
file-name, users have to enter the file-name without extension in the pop-up box. If same
file-name is given the previous file will be over written. Once file-name is given, the file
will be saved inside MIP_csv_table folder as csv file. The MIP_csv_table can be found
inside the MIP_contents folder in the desktop. Every single time users save the file, two
different csv file with same prefix(Given-name) will be saved. Given-name_information
consist of entire key-value pair as displayed in the interface. Given-name_table consist of
tabulated values along with standard index as shown in interface.
