Ribasim

Ribasim is a water resources model to simulate the physical behavior of a managed open water system based on a set of control rules and a prioritized water allocation strategy.

Ribasim is written in the Julia programming language and is built on top of the SciML: Open Source Software for Scientific Machine Learning libraries.

The initial version of Ribasim is developed by Deltares as part of a consortium for the Dutch watersystem. This activity is co-funded by TKI Deltatechnology, a Dutch public–private partnership innovation program from the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Ribasim will be used as the surface water module of the Netherlands Hydrologic Instrument (NHI).
