Résumé : | Environmental science needs to better link to real-world policy application and simulation-based policy-support systems (PSS) are an appropriate way to do so. Policy-support systems (PSS) are an extension of the ubiquitous and highly variable decision-support systems (DSS). These support systems are targeted at making sophisticated descriptions of process, state and change accessible in a dynamic way to support decision-making, or the testing and design of policies. Recent years have seen considerable growth in research at the water-energy-environment-food (WEEF) nexus and there is much interest in scientific policy support for this from the international development, conservation and governmental policy communities. This demand is focused particularly in the areas of water, biofuels and food, water management for urban supply and hydropower and maintaining ecosystem services. WaterWorld is a spatial policy-support system focused on the hydrological baseline of an area and the impact of land use, land management, and climate change. |
