+  
+  Mux files containing timeseries of the tsunami wave at points along the 100 m depth contour around Western Australia were obtained from the URSGA model.
+  These timeseries form the seaward boundary condition for the ANUGA inundation model. To run an ANUGA simulation for a different area, tsunami timeseries for points
+  offshore the location of interest must be extracted and reformatted into netCDF (.sts) format from the mux files. This is handled by the <font color="red">build_urs_boundary.py</font> script, which is 
+  called from within <font color="red">run_model.py</font>.
+  The points for which the timeseries are extracted are defined within the file <a href="data/western_australia/geraldton_tsunami_scenario/anuga/boundaries">urs_order.csv</a>. 
+  This file must be modified as follows to run a model for a different area.
+  <p>
+  The file <a href="data/western_australia/geraldton_tsunami_scenario/anuga/boundaries">urs_timeseries_locations.csv</a> contains a list of all the points for which timeseries exist within the mux files. This file can be loaded into a GIS environment and the points within the model selected. 
+  Note that you should only choose approximately every 5th points, keeping the points in as close to a straight line as possible.
+  Choosing points too close to each other can cause problems with fitting the mesh to the model domain.
+  These points should be written into a .csv file in the following format (including header):
+  
+   <pre><font color="brown">
+  index, longitude, latitude</font></pre>
+
+  <p>
+  If the name of this .csv file is changed from urs_order, then this must be updated in <font color="red">project.py</font>
