The simulation of the behaviour of surface water is a complicated activity, dealing with waves, water flow, transport of substances, water quality, ecology and morphology. These processes have their own characteristic time scales from seconds for surface waves through years for ecology and decades for morphology. These processes also have their own spatial scales and requirements for local refinement and solvers. Increasingly more specialised models become available that can describe part of this system. Furthermore, the surface water system is increasingly considered jointly with ground water systems, the atmosphere and human influences from the land. Component Software Technology is a powerful technique to cope with these demands as will be illustrated with the Delft3D system of WL | Delft Hydraulics as example. The design and functioning from the top level down to the detail level will be illustrated going down to the tiny components of the water quality processes.
