Dual Solution Engines for a Water System Model Require a Flexible API

Abstract

A water system hydraulic model can be viewed from many different perspectives. Often, model users might not concern themselves with how a model produces results, but rather with its ease of use and the legitimacy of the results. Ultimately, though, the legitimacy of the results is dependent on how the model works. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how a model works and how a new feature will allow model users to be more confident in the legitimacy of the results.
