Good modelling practice Sample Clauses

Good modelling practice. Recent guidelines on developing and applying models to support water managers in making adequate decisions to restore the chemical and ecological status of rivers and lakes and to promote sustainable use of the water resources, emphasise the importance of integrated approaches and collaboration between modellers and stakeholders (Xxx xxx Xxxxx, 1999; Xxx Xxxxxxxx, 1999; Xxxxxxxxx et al, 2005, 2007). In general, the interactions between the modelling process and the water management process are clear in the beginning of the modelling process, where the modeller receives the specifications of objectives and requirements for the modelling study from the water management process, and towards to end of the modelling study, where the modelling results are provided as input to the water management process. According to Xxxxxxxxx et al. (2007), the modelling process consists of five major steps (Figure 19): § STEP1 (model study plan). This step aims to agree on a Model Study Plan comprising answers to the questions: Why is modelling required for this particular model study? What is the overall modelling approach and which work should be carried out? Who will do the modelling work? Who should do the technical reviews? Which stakeholders/ public should be involved and to what degree? What are the resources available for the project? The water manager needs to describe the problem and its context as well as the available data. A very important (but often overlooked) task is then to analyse and determine what are the various requirements of the modelling study in terms of the expected accuracy of modelling results. The acceptable level of accuracy will vary from case to case and must be seen in a socio-economic context. It should, therefore, be defined through a dialogue between the modeller, water manager and stakeholders/public. In this respect an a priori analysis of the key sources of uncertainty is crucial in order to focus the study on the elements that produce most information of relevance to the problem at hand. § STEP 2 (data and conceptualisation). In this step the modeller should gather all the relevant knowledge about the study basin and develop an overview of the processes and their interactions in order to conceptualise how the system should be modelled in sufficient detail to meet the requirements specified in the model study plan. Consideration must be given to the spatial and temporal detail required of a model, to the system dynamics, to the bounda...
