Field data for calibration

✏️Course in Development

Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.

The entire calibration process hinges on comparing your model's outputs to what's actually happening in the field. So, what specific types of field data are most crucial for this, and what considerations do you need to keep in mind regarding its quality and collection?

This section focuses on these foundational elements. We'll discuss the primary measurements you'll rely on, like pressures recorded at various strategic points across your network, and flow rates measured through key pipes or into and out of district metered areas (DMAs). Water levels in your storage tanks over time are also vital, as they reflect the balance between inflow, outflow, and system demands, and provide key insights into tank control operations.
