Abstract	As water quality models and their implementation have become increasingly diverse, complex and proprietary, a need for more thorough understanding of the differences between each alternative arises. The work presented here proposes a novel visualization paradigm for water quality applications which can be used to understand difference between implementations of identical and different conceptual models. A proof-of-concept visualization tool was developed and tested again three scenarios for four different conceptual models of biochemical kinetics. Results show representative figures illustrating how the approach can communicate differences in model complexity and dynamic behaviour. The proposed tool should help ensure more suitable application of water quality models in varied contexts. A discussion of quantifying model complexity in a single metric is also presented, and recommendations are made on the selection of various representational forms for communicating and exploring specific model characteristics.
