RIBASIM is map oriented. A flexible modelling environment has been designed in which the modelling system is made independent of the user’s choice of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It is centred around the network editor: Netter, the Delft-GIS tool. This tool provides the user with features which are not available under conventional GIS software and which are needed to carry out a basin analysis:

• Map viewer.

• Interactive design of a river basin network schematization consisting of nodes and links.

• Editing of attribute data of each node and link.

• Fast visualisation of spatial and temporal data on maps.

• Presentation of data in form of various types of graphs.

• Animation of time series data.

• Optimised processing of very long time series with high speed.
