Abstract

A software environment for building and simulating complex water networks is presented. The system allows an easy definition of static and dynamic models, which may represent single components of a river or channel system as well as of plants, which control their flow and water quality. Via a completely graphical interface, the user can define the network structure by simply connecting the single constituents. The system extracts and integrates their characteristics to automatically define a compound model which is stored, in the same model format, into a model base. In this way even compound models may be reutilized in a hierarchical way to build more and more complex networks. The connection of numerical and knowledge representation components is one of the main features of the proposed approach, which takes advantage of an object-oriented environment. The system may speed up considerably the process of testing alternatives network and/or control structures freeing the analyst from the necessity of dealing with software and hardware problems.
