Why eWaterCycle

Hydrological modeling is essential for understanding and managing water systems, but it suffers from major challenges: fragmented tools, lack of reproducibility, limited interoperability, and barriers to collaboration. Scientists often struggle to share, compare, or reproduce model-based results. There was a clear need for a modern platform that supports transparent, reproducible, and collaborative hydrological research.

eWaterCycle has been developed to take away programming and compatibility issues within hydrological modelling. It is designed in a FAIR (Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable) way. Many models use different input/outputs formats, making interoperability hard. This is what eWaterCycle changes. It utilizes the Basic Model Interface (BMI) to improve interoperability between all the models.
