A simulation model is an abstraction of reality. It provides the calculation of system elements and their mutual dependencies at given system loads. Thereby, system behavior is determined by calculating all relevant hydrological and hydraulic processes. If it is a variable system and the model can represent the artificial interventions in the discharge processes, it becomes an operational model. If interventions on the water balance are carried out via reservoirs, the operating model becomes a reservoir operating model. A description of physical processes, such as the outflow from openings - which corresponds to the uncontrolled discharge from a bottom outlet - does not yet constitute a storage operating model.
