Hydraulic network simulation models are widely used by planners, water utility personnel, consultants, and others involved in the analysis, design, operation and maintenance of closed-conduit hydraulic systems. Quite possibly the largest application of hydraulic network models lies with the municipal water supply industry. The results of network models have been used to assist in long-range master planning, short-term project design, fire flow studies, daily operations, emergency response, energy management, and rehabilitation, among others. Clearly, multi-million dollar decisions can be based on the results provided by hydraulic network models. Consequently, the results from the model must bear close resemblance to the actual performance of the hydraulic system. In other words, the computer model must be calibrated. The purpose of this paper is to present guidelines for network model calibration. The degree of accuracy needed for model calibration is discussed within the context of the intended use of the model. For example, a higher degree of calibration is necessary for a model that is used to examine daily operations than is needed for a model used in long-range planning studies. The paper also discusses calibration approaches and testing procedures that can be used to aid in the calibration effort. Includes 7 references.
