Model based decision support (and the joy of interactive modeling) Dr Elgard van Leeuwen Deltares

• About Modeling • Interactive and together • The instrument • Why does it work?

Modeling “I don’t need models to make a desicion in 10 seconds” “and nature is unpredictable”

Modeling 𝜐 𝑥𝑗𝑜𝑒 𝑞 𝜖𝑣 𝜖𝑢 + 𝑣 𝜖𝑣 𝜖𝑡 = −𝑕𝐼 𝜖𝜂 𝜖𝑡 − 𝑑 𝑔 𝒗 𝑣 + 𝜓 𝜍 “But models may lead to better 𝑅 = 𝑣𝐵 decisions” 𝜖𝑣 𝜖𝑢 = −𝑕𝐼 𝜖𝜂 𝜖𝑡 − 𝑑 𝑔 𝒗 𝑣 𝑅 = 𝑣𝐵 “therefore we make nature as predictable as possible”

Interactive • Use the best possible hydraulic calculations • Make the model together (in the final stage…) • Joint fact finding

Speed and / or accuracy

Devil in the details

Together

People of Breukelen

Why does it work? • Level of modeling detail is sufficient • Visualization techniques appropriate • People can be convinced rationally • Bad ideas are easily rejected • You built public support ‘on the fly’

Better, not easier… • Decision maker confronted with full complexity of water system analysis

The joy of interactive modeling • Decision maker in control – Takes important modeling decisions (affect the outcome) – Is confronted with the consequences of policy choices and principles (i.e. every area self sufficient) – Is aware of other promising solutions (measures) and their impact • Uses the modeling process to built public support
