Abstract: In recent years there has been a need for more efficient tools, able to suggest management practices of rivers and watercourses. A digital twin in general is a data-driven digital representation of resources, processes, or systems in the built or the natural environment. A digital twin is able to evaluate current performance and suggest alternative management methods that can lead to more efficient system behavior. The aim of the present work is the development of a hydrological model of Aliakmon River in northern Greece, on which a digital twin will be based. The model is formulated in HEC-HMS using only free access data that are available online. The results are very encouraging, proving that the model is extremely effective in adapting to changes in the flow regime of the river under study and concluding that it can be used as the basis of a digital twin, utilizing the new features of HEC-HMS.
