Abstract
The article aims to present a step-by-step procedure of distributed modelling of river flow by contrasting two commonly used modelling tools: MIKE 11 and HEC-RAS. The middle River Vistula reach constitutes the case study for the ‘debate’. Although different in form, level of complexity and price, both models lead to similar results for flood modelling, including the uncertainty of the simulated flow. The slight superiority of the MIKE 11 model stems from the automatic estimation of its parameters.
