  1. Integrated water management and the role of the Open Modelling Interface and Environment(OpenMI) Roger V. Moore Centre for Ecology and Hydrology UK

  2. Evaporation Precipitation Evaporation River Surface runoff Coast Estuary Summary The OpenMI – what is it? • Not a framework • Not an integrated modelling system • It is an interface standard that allows the run time exchange of data between models Rainfall runoff model How ? Hydraulic model For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 2

  3. This is about … • The Users of the OpenMI • Catchment decision support • Delivering the OpenMI For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 3

  4. Who is the OpenMI for? OpenMI users: For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 4

  5. Who is the OpenMI for? OpenMI users: • Model coders • Tool coders • End-user application builders (including DSS) • Model builders • Model integrators • Specialist end-users • Non-specialist end-users (DSS users) • Government departments, regulators, local government For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 5

  6. What does the OpenMI do? For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 6

  7. Driving forces Competition for scarce resources Need for integrated water management Complexity leads to need for decision support Need for whole catchment models – process interaction Need for model linking € Tourism Reservoir Flow Ecology Fish Groundwater For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 7

  8. User interface User interface Input data Input data River Rainfall runoff GetValues Output data Output data OpenMI objectives • To provide a model linking mechanism for: • run time data exchange between models, databases & tools • In order to: • improve ability to model complex scenarios Climate change Reservoir yield Planning Floods Ecology Droughts Aquifer yield • Water quality For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 8

Data Model linking issues addressed- technical • Linking models of different processes • Linking different spatial representations - 1D, 2D, 3D • Linking different temporal resolutions • Iteration over time • Linking models based on different concepts For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 9

  10. Model linking issues addressed- technical Linear chain (uni-directional) Linear chain (bi-directional) D C Trigger Trigger C B B A A A requests B, B requests C, C requests B B returns a best guess to C. C does its work and returns data to B. B does its work and returns data to A.. A requests B, B requests C, C requests D. D does its work and returns data to C, C does its work and returns data to B, etc. Request for data (.GetValues) What Where When Reply with data The .GetValues method must always return a value. If necessary, it must interpolate or extrapolate For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 10

  11. Model linking issues addressed- technical The OpenMI allows: • integration across distributed computing systems • (but we leave you to solve the problems) • integration across operating systems For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 11

  12. Model linking issues – human and commercial • Cost benefit of migration • Maximising the modeller’s freedom • Ease of migration • Legacy models • Future models • Ease of use For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 12

  13. User interface User interface Input data Rainfall runoff Output data Ease of migration Input data River GetValues(..) Output data For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 13

  14. Increasing freedom The OpenMI is a standard – it allows: • models from different groups across the world to be integrated • DSS builders to use the most suitable models The OpenMI creates: • opportunites for: • Universities • SME’s • The OpenMI leaves all the decisions with the modeller For further information go to: www.HarmonIT.org or email: rvm@ceh.ac.uk 14
