Importance of a well-calibrated model

✏️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.

Why invest significant time and resources into the often-challenging process of model calibration? Is "close enough" good enough? This section reviews deeply the "why," elaborating on the substantial and far-reaching benefits you'll gain from a well-calibrated hydraulic model.

The most immediate benefit is confidence. When your model can accurately replicate known conditions in your system, it builds immense trust among engineers, operators, and decision-makers that its predictions for future scenarios or unmeasured locations are also reliable.
