Need some guidance on calibrating a water distribution model? This webinar can give you the tools to solve many calibration issues.
To have confidence in the results of a distribution system model, it is essential to calibrate the model with real world data. Calibration may look easy from a distance but there are many pitfalls that can reduce the value of the calibration effort such as poor quality field data, adjusting the wrong parameters, and having unrealistic expectations of the resulting calibrated model. The calibration subcommittee of AWWA's Engineering Modeling Applications Committee (EMAC) has published a Handbook of Distribution System Model Calibration. Three of the authors of that book will share their insights on the best ways to calibrate a model. The talks will focus on reasons why a model may appear to disagree with field data, identify what needs to be adjusted and determine corrections to make the model behave like the real system.
Attendees will learn to:
— Identify why a model isn't calibrated as well as it could be.
— Set up data collection for calibration.
— Make adjustments to produce a well-calibrated model.
