Talsim-NG is a river basin model, which was developed to efficiently support authorities, associations, companies and engineering offices working in the water industry with the planning of water management measures and the operation of water resources facilities.

Talsim-NG is based on an open, generic model architecture. With the available components, the user is able to simulate any water management system and management strategies.

This Wiki contains the official documentation of Talsim-NG.

Compact information about Talsim-NG is available in the following brochure (PDF).

This Wiki is constantly being maintained and expanded. Individual sections are still under construction.
