Coupling

1 iMOD

Ribasim can also be (online) coupled to other kernels with the help of iMOD Coupler. The corresponding documentation can be found within the iMOD Suite Documentation.

2 Water quality

Ribasim can be offline coupled to Delwaq, the Deltares Water Quality model.

2.1 Setup

Delwaq can calculate the concentration of substances in Basin nodes over time, based on initial concentrations, and of FlowBoundary nodes. Ribasim exposes the Basin / concentration, Basin / concentration_state, FlowBoundary / concentration, and LevelBoundary / concentration tables to setup these substances and concentrations.

When a Ribasim model ran with the above tables, one can use the utilities in the delwaq namespace of the Ribasim Python API to generate the input required for Delwaq to run, as well as to parse the output from Delwaq into a Ribasim compatible format. For more information see the guide.
