Abstract: Models of urban drainage systems are of increasing complexity in terms of detailing of process descriptions. Over the past decade, modelling systems have also become more robust and may produce realistic looking results even if inadequate process descriptions or schematizations have been applied. Detailed checking of results of such models is not possible and even good calibrations do not at all provide a guarantee that such models produce correct results for extreme events with parameter values applied under extrapolated conditions. It is the responsibility of the modeller to judge model results at least on the basis of common sense. Education of urban drainage modellers should address this responsibility.
