Goodness-offit measures for numerical modelling in urban water management – a summary to support practical applications

The use of goodness-of-fit measures to quantify the accuracy is controversially discussed in recent publications of modelling in the field of hydrologic and ecological research and practise. In the field of activated sludge modelling however there is neither a standard recommendation for the use of objective evaluations nor is there a discussion ongoing on this issue. This paper summarises the findings of a review that can not presented due to the limiting page count for poster presentations. The work has been prepared within the framework of HSG-Sim (Hochschulgruppe Simulation, http://www.hsgsim.org), a group of researchers from Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Poland, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
