Talsim-NG is a hybrid hydrologic/hydraulic river basin model. It is designed to capture all hydrological situations from flood to drought. The software concept is modular and scalable, meaning that a water resources system can be tailored according to the actual needs. Talsim-NG does not imply any limits for the spatial resolution of hydrological systems. The temporal resolution as simulation time step can vary from one minute to one month. Talsim-NG was applied for watersheds < 10 km² up to river basins > 3,000,000 km² (e.g. entire Nile system).
The main features of Talsim-NG are:
- Precipitation-Runoff modelling, including snow simulation / - Flood routing and hydraulic simulation of weirs, diversions, pipes / - Complex atmosphere-vegetation-soil module / - unlimited configuration of operation rules, reservoir operation / - conceptual groundwater model / - Nested modelling (high spatial resolution models are embedded in coarser model environments) / - Wetland modelling / - Crop water requirements and irrigation / - Watertemperature and water quality / - Time series manager / - Project and Scenario manager / - Client-Server Architecture.
