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
