OpenMI (Open Modeling Interface)

OpenMI (Open Modeling Interface) is a standardized framework that allows different environmental and water management models to communicate and work together seamlessly. It acts like a common language, enabling various software tools—such as hydrology, water quality, or climate models—to exchange data in real-time. This integration improves accuracy and efficiency in environmental simulations and decision-making by allowing complex systems to be modeled collaboratively, rather than in isolated parts. OpenMI promotes interoperability, flexibility, and easier sharing of modeling tools across different systems and organizations.
