A simulation interface designed for improved user interaction and learning in water quality modelling software

摘要: Traditional simulation software that supports management decisions is configured and run by experienced scientists. However, it often criticised for its lack of interactivity, not only in the application but also display results. This paper presents interface with strategy evaluation capabilities capacity to enable resource managers learn about water quality as evaluated a workshop setting. The 'MSE Tool' intended produce definitive real-world advice provides test-bed interactively design strategies explore complexities inherent using simple, yet effective, user interface. MSE Tool has been used pilot simulated effects applied catchments their on riverine, estuarine marine South East Queensland, Australia. approach are suitable reuse other projects. We present reusable software.We place context Australia.We discuss importance benefits interactivity differences between decision support allows exploration scenarios.We results from workshops which show an improvement learning use our software.
