TETIS
TETIS is a distributed hydrological and hydraulic model developed by IIAMA-UPV that simulates the water and sediment cycle in river basins of any size, representing physical processes in detail within each grid cell of the territory. It includes automatic calibration and can operate at short time scales (floods and flash floods) and long time scales (water resources and erosion). Its versatility makes it useful for water management, risk prevention, and hydrological planning, and it is used by institutions such as the Basque Water Agency.
TETIS is a distributed hydrological and hydraulic model developed by IIAMA at the Universitat Politècnica de València. Its objective is to realistically simulate the water and sediment cycles in river basins, ranging from small mountainous areas to large river systems. Unlike more simplified approaches, it represents physical processes in detail within each grid cell of the territory, allowing for more accurate and useful results at different points in the basin. The model includes an automatic calibration feature that facilitates its use, and it can operate at both short time scales (for flood and flash-flood prediction) and long time scales (for the study of water resources and erosion). Thanks to its versatility, TETIS is applied in water management, risk prevention, and hydrological planning, and is used by institutions such as the Basque Water Agency in flood forecasting systems.
