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.

So, you've built the initial framework of your hydraulic model, or perhaps you're about to embark on that journey. But how do you ensure that this digital creation truly mirrors the complex, dynamic reality of your water distribution system? The answer lies in field testing. This section defines field testing not just as a task, but as a crucial investigative process — the practical, on-site collection of data that breathes life and accuracy into your model.

We'll establish why field testing is an indispensable part of the hydraulic modeling lifecycle, providing the empirical evidence you need to confidently construct your model, rigorously calibrate its parameters against real-world behavior, and ultimately validate its predictive capabilities.
