GCAM-USA is setup by default to have water markets. If you want to run GCAM-USA with unconstrained water (e.g., an unlimited amount of water available for any uses with no resource constraints) you need to make two changes:
Comment out or delete this line in the configuration.xml:
<Value name = "water_supply">../input/gcamdata/xml/water_supply_constrained.xml</Value>
Make a copy of this input file:
../input/gcamdata/xml/water_td_USA.xml
and delete all the resource sectors at the end of this file that start with
<resource name=...
.Use this edited file as an input instead the original
water_td_USA.xml
.What is happening is that this section of the input is deleting energy inputs from sectors that don't exist in GCAM-USA, but as a result this ends up creating an empty resource object, which causes a crash. (Thanks @pkyle for the tip!).
