If the system elements are now arranged in such a way that they reproduce the flow relationships existing in reality, the water resources system is then ready for a mathematical simulation. This process, also known as structural analysis, determines the geographical relationships and interactions. The result of a structural analysis is the flow network. The interaction between elements takes place via the load and the element outlet, where in most cases, the load corresponds to an inflow and the outlet to an outflow. The outlet of one element may for example correspond to the load (inflow) of the next element downstream. Almost any water resources system can be simulated by using different arrangements of the elements.
