VALUE

The value of this service depends on the complexity of the watercourses and clients’ needs. The value added varies to a large extent on whether the client already has a VanSimTap model of the watercourse(s) or not. The degree of documentation and statistics available for the watercourse(s) is essential for complexity. The pricing of the VanSimTap depends on the following variables: frequencies of running the model, adjustment for snow pack and short term inflow, and chosen data exchange with SKM.
