Indicators to compare robustness and suitability of modeling software for application in the CADSES region Irina Ribarova on behlaf of Floodmed team
Indicators • Original purpose/status and history of the model application (maturity) • Dependencies on previous models (scientific evolution) • Water balance • Spatial resolution and discretisation (horizontal and vertical) • Temporal resolution and discretisation • Input data requirement • Operational experience and skills requirement of users • Participation in previous model comparison studies • Existing sensitivity analysis • Cost indication (based on work load to set up and apply the model) • Applicability • Ability to be used with other models • Availability in the market
Conclusions • In terms of “water balance”, “temporal resolution”, “input data” and “applicability” all models are evaluated positively; • Only HEC-HMS has been evaluated negatively in terms of “spatial resolution”. This model also in the only one, which does not provide sensitivity analyses, but wins in terms of its ability to be used with other models; • Definitely IMGW requires highly qualified personnel; highest cost indication and can not be reach easily in the market; • Three models are free of charge to be downloaded – HEC-HMS, SWAT and HSPF; • The “winners” in the comparison, with less negative evaluations are SWAT and HSPF.
