Water Resources Management Decision Support System:Review and Prospect
Li Xin · Journal of Glaciology and Geocryology · 2012
In this paper,development process of water resources management decision support system(WRMDSS) is introduced,which includes three phases: model simulation,model simulation + DSS(Decision Support System),scenario analysis + integrated modeling environment + DSS tool.The features of each phase are described in detail.The first phase focused on applying the physical models related with water to decision-making processes of water resources management.With the development of DSS technique,it was the main characteristics of the second phase that the framework of WRMDSS was gradually improved by using the more the better the physical models and the later the techniques including the GIS(Geographical Information System),RS(Remote Sensing),ES(Expert System),et al.In the final phase,the researches on WRMDSS aim to enhance the WRMDSS functions by taking into account flexibility,maneuverability and practicability of DSS by means of integrating the Modeling Environment.The reasons that block the development of WRMDSS also analyzed in this paper,and how to develop the successful WRMDSS is brought forward.Finally,the concepts on integrating multi-source observation system,modeling environment and on-line negotiation environment are proposed.
