The next step in creating a usable copy of OpenBasin is adding the appropriate data into the database. In OpenBasin, most data is owned by a paticular station. For example, if we had a reservoir named "Storage" we would first have to create a station in OpenBasin called "storage" before adding that reservoir's data into the database. Through this method, OpenBasin can keep track of what data belongs where. There is also such a thing as shared data where multiple stations can share data from one location; however, discussion of that topic is beyond the scope of this tutorial.
Thus, the process of adding data to the database is divided into two steps. Adding the associated station into OpenBasin and adding data to that station. The next two sections will deal with those two topics. Additionally, the topic of automating data insertion will be discussed.
