Abstract

Simulation is used to give students of resources management an opportunity to form and evaluate a water resources plan. The focus of the planning problem is a mythical New England city called Aquar ius. In the first stage of the simulation, students work as a planning group and design a fifty-year comprehensive water plan. The students assume dif ferent roles and report to a director as they would in a real planning agency. In the second stage of the simulation, students use a computer model to simulate the operation of the water resources plan. They can observe the impacts of their plan over a period of years and revise the plan as needed.
