Interpretation is the third stage in the modeling process. It constitutes the return to Nature space: the Model solution is then evaluated with regard to the biases introduced by the modeling and taking into account the precision of the resolution.

Historically and fundamentally, hydraulics is first and foremost an experimental science. As Leonardo da Vinci put it in the 15th century: "When you deal with the flow of water, don't forget to invoke experience first,...
