Ribasim output checks

[rbruijnshkv]

As all relevant teams are now implementing or preparing to run the Ribasim models, it would be efficient to establish a checklist to verify whether the Ribasim model (as generated) meet the expected criteria.

Below is an initial set of checks. These checks are intended as guidelines rather than strict requirements; they serve to flag potential issues. Please feel free to suggest additional checks if necessary.

Water levels

• Q(h) relationship below the specified range
• Q(h) relationship above the specified range
• Water level below the defined profile
• Water level above the defined profile
• Water level deviating more than 20 cm from the target level

Basin volumes

• Maximum storage per basin
• Minimum storage per basin
• Ratio of storage per basin to maximum inflow

Rate of change

• Rate of change water level >10 cm / day
• Rate of change water level < 0.1 cm / day

Pumps

• Pumps operating less than 5% of the time
• Pumps operating more than 50% of the time

Model control

• Water balance error exceeding 1% per basin
• Water balance error exceeding 1% across the entire model area
