Abstract

Environmental decision support systems (EDSS) contain three major components: a modelbase containing a number of numerical models, a database containing information from a large number of sites, and an interface to permit the user to access the models and data and to perform “scenario analysis” as an aid to decision making. Software decision support tools are currently promising to supple management support in a wide variety of industries. These are described here in the context of the management of stored water quality and the role of the database component of a typical EDSS is stressed. The use of this data set for model validation is discussed in Part 2 of this paper.
