Abstract
A workshop approach for the rapid development of simulation models is described. The key feature of the approach is intimate involvement of resource specialists in the model building process, so that communication between resource disciplines is greatly enhanced. Two watershed models that have been developed in one-week workshop meetings are described to show thekinds of factors that can be considered. One model is concerned with small coastal watersheds in the Pacific Northwest, and the other deals with part of the James Bay Area, Quebec. Both of these models have helped scientists of Environment Canada identify major information needs that are not being considered in current research and management programs; in particular, little is known about the dynamics of recreational demand.
