“…Con el ajuste óptimo para la incertidumbre del nuevo software multifuncional para la predicción de riesgo ecotoxicológico, ya es pretendido lo que se desea, en la actualidad, y referido a la medición económica de la calidad ambiental, considerándose no solo el posible bienestar animal, sino además de todo recurso posible a medir (Butler, Corvalan & Koren, 2005), haciendo conexión teórica entre los sistemas ecológicos y los económicos (Volk et al, 2007;Ryzyka, Strat & Beijiang, 2014).…”

“…The Water Director Work Frame established in the year 2000 in the European Union demands an integral focus, in order to achieve a good state of its water resources by the year 2015 (Blind and Gregersen 2005;Volk et al 2007). This has increased the number of research activities, and because of this there exist today several work lines for the development of modelling generic frameworks as well as modular modelling systems Berger et al 2007;Croke et al 2007).…”

Mathematical models are tools that can facilitate the instrumentation of the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The first basin models to be developed were completely hydrological; today, due to the urgent need to plan the sustainable use of water resources, new models are needed that in addition to hydrology also incorporate social, economic, legal, environmental and other aspects. The objective of this work was to identify the characteristics that mathematical basin models must have in order to satisfy the requirements of IWRM. To achieve this, the conclusions of the main international conferences on water and the environment were analyzed; these were conferences in which IWRM was promoted as a strategy to face the challenges of both sectors. IWRM considers social participation as a key element in the decision-making process; consequently, the models must be accepted 722 H. Silva-Hidalgo et al. and applied, and their results interpreted, by those who participate in the process even if they are not modelling experts. This requires a change of perspective in the scientific community for the development of new IWRM models, in government institutions regarding their role as water administrators, and in water stakeholders regarding their role as decision-makers. The results of the analysis indicate that models for IWRM must be accessible to non-expert users, integrate different viewpoints, representing adequately the problem to be solved, in addition be flexible and have a structure focused on practical solutions.

“…A DSS for river basin management enables-for different scenarios-the comparison of river strategies based on the effects on multiple objectives. It can be used to support the planning and implementation of measures (Giupponi 2007;Volk et al 2007) and the communication between the stakeholders and between the researchers involved. The different purposes of a DSS for IRBM include: analysis of different management alternatives, communication, education, and knowledge management (Loucks 1995;Hahn and Engelen 2000;Zhu and Dale 2000;Westmacott 2001;De Kok and Wind 2003;Legris et al 2003;Maurel et al 2007;Giupponi 2007).…”

During the last two decades several integrated tools have been developed to make the existing scientific knowledge available to river managers and assist them with the formulation and evaluation of alternative combinations of measures. Yet, few practical examples of embedding of these instruments in river management organizations can be observed so far. This paper identifies the possible organizational, technical, and scientific factors that may form an obstacle for the design and application of a Decision-Support System (DSS) for river-basin management by analyzing the interaction between the different participants in the Elbe DSS project. In particular attention is paid to the software engineering aspects of the design process. In order to start an integrated approach to deal with conflicting river strategies a project to develop a prototype tool for integrated management of the Elbe catchment was initiated, which includes functionalities related to inland navigation, water quality, flood safety, and vegetation ecology. The problems faced in the German part of the Elbe catchment range from poor navigation conditions and flooding vulnerability to a need to restore and maintain the natural state of the floodplains. Several river engineering works such as large-scale dike shifting, channel dredging, and large-scale retention are in a planning or implementation stage. From the beginning of the project onwards attention was paid to the involvement of potential end-users and key stakeholders in the design process. The experience of the project is that internal consistency of models and data, effective communication, and functional flexibility are essential to warrant a proper balance between scientific standards, the availability of models, and the requirements of users. This facilitates the design process and improves the chance of successful implementation.
