Development of a decision support system for integrated water resources management in intensively used small watersheds

摘要: ABSTRACT The main objective of the WSM300 project is development a methodology which guides and supports an improved water resources management on level small watersheds (up to 300 km²). developed be implemented into software based tool within framework generic Decision Support System (DSS). (Leichtfuss 2003, Schroter 2004). Core DSS “decision matrix”, has been as web application (www.wsm300.de). objectives are represented by indicators labeling rows. They will result discussion problems in specific sub-basin, supported catalogue indicators. matrix, once labels defined, serves plot for planning process, defining clearly have considered indicator-values calculated. further includes concept tools combination existing components processing model-outputs indicator-values. Filled with indicator-values, matrix allows comparison scenarios provides good basis decision. If desired, multi-criteria decision aid methods can help find optimal scenario mediate between stakeholders. As co-product web-based DSS, “River-Information-System” was established informing public about newest developments their catchment.
