Talsim-NG is the right tool for many different tasks:
* Rainfall-runoff simulations (both flood and long-term scenarios)
* River basin modelling and management
* Management of reservoirs, flood control reservoirs, dams or dam systems for various uses (water supply, flood protection, low flow augmentation, energy production, compliance with minimum releases, recreational use)
* Water quality simulations
* Coupling of water quantity and water quality considerations
* Dimensioning of water resource management facilities
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Operationeller Einsatz von Talsim-NG|Operational use of Talsim-NG]] for water management in connection with a monitoring system


Talsim-NG includes the necessary tools for water resource analyses:
* Time series management
* Management of simulations and their results including result comparison
* Long-term simulations / short-term forecasts 
* Request and output of arbitrary state variables
* Calculation of useful parameters such as balance values or probabilities

====Process-based hydrological modelling====

Processes and features:
* Precipitation-runoff component + snow compaction
* Soil moisture and crop water requirements calculation
* Up to 6 soil layers
* Snow simulation
* Hybrid hydrological/hydraulic flood routing
* Non-linear atmosphere-vegetation-soil interface
* Hybrid hydrological/hydraulic flood routing, 
* Hydraulic modelling of weirs, diversions, pipes
* Crop water requirements
* Irrigation
* Reservoir operation
* Water quality
* Hydropower
* Conceptual groundwater modelling
* Nested modelling of sub-basins with high spatial resolution
* Generic rule builder for water management options
* Pre-processing and post-processing
* Multicriteria optimization
* Time series manager 
* Project and scenario manager
* Client-Server architecture

====Gridded or watershed oriented approach====
Talsim-NG can be used for both gridded or watershed oriented concepts

====Atmosphere / Vegetation / Soil Interface for Crop Water Requirements and Irrigation====

====Linkage of flow components====
[[Datei:Linkage of flow components.png|800px|center]]
Surface and sub-surface flow components between elements are interconnected. If soil downstream is saturated, flow from the upstream cell is impeded:
* Backwater effects
* Surface flow accumulates from element to element

====Nested modelling====
A model within a model!

If necessary, sub-basins can be simulated with different resolutions and levels of detail within a large river basin model.

====Participatory modelling / serious gaming====
Talsim-NG as tool for capacity building:<br>

1) Topic: Live interaction between water managers<br>
2) Tool: Put operators in various positions
* upstream perspective, downstream perspective
* exposes stakeholders to different levels of dependencies
* shows effects with/without data sharing
* demonstrates effects with/without cooperation
* mimics flood / drought events
3) Activity: A group of water managers plays at the same time
