Mathematical simulation and optimization

models packaged

within interactive computer programs

provide a common way for planners

and managers

to predict the behaviour of any proposed

water resources

system design on

management policy before

it is implemented

INTRODUCTION

Models produce

information.

They do not

produce decisions

.

INTRODUCTION In this chapter:

A brief example to demonstrate the value of modeling.

General thoughts on the major challenges facing water resources system planners and managers, the information they need to meet these challenges , and the role analyst have in helping to provide this information.

Information on the practice of modeling is in a state of transition, and how current research and development in modeling and computing technology are affecting the transition.
