Interpreting results & basic model limitations
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.
Running a water quality simulation is one thing; effectively interpreting the results and understanding what they truly mean (and what they don't) is another skill entirely. This section will focus on common methods for visualizing and analyzing the outputs from your water quality model.
We'll look at how to use features like color-coded network maps to clearly show the spatial distribution of constituent concentrations (like chlorine or a tracer) or water age throughout your system at different times. Generating time-series plots for specific, critical locations (like the entry to a sensitive industrial customer or the far reaches of a zone) allows you to see how water quality parameters change over an operational cycle.
