Line 1:
=What are the reasons whyfor models to vary widely in their accuracy?=
* The level of uncertainty/inaccuracy in the input data, especially uncertainties in hydrological inflows (which can be considerable) and topography.
* Whether the model is calibrated, and if calibrated, the range of calibration events and quantity/quality/type of calibration data. A model well calibrated to a range of flood events will be much more accurate than an uncalibrated model. More information on calibration can be found in <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/Download/Publications/October2016_FMA_Newsletter_HuxleyRyan.pdf Flood Modelling: How Accurate is Your Model?]</u> or an Australian Water School webinar <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/library/webinars/#maximise_accuracy Maximising Hydraulic Model Accuracy]</u>.
