In water management planning, model technology has long been of great importance. Hydrological and hydraulic models are used because both the benefits and possible negative consequences of hydraulic engineering measures are not easy to understand due to the often complex interactions. They determine both the short and long-term effects of planned interventions on the water balance. In the process, the structural changes and the increasingly important operational aspects must be reproduced in the model, calculated and the results must be presented clearly. Of particular importance is the consideration of entire river basins, among others due to the new Water Framework Directive.

A simple precipitation-runoff model is often not sufficient to represent an entire river basin with its complex interactions. A river basin model should therefore have the option of also showing the hydraulic engineering infrastructure, such as dams, canals and dividing structures, as well as their operation, i.e. the control and regulation of the structures. The modeling of water quality parameters is also becoming increasingly important.
