Abstract:
The aim of the FIRMA project is to improve water resource plan
ning through the use of multi-agent models that integrate hydrological, social
and economic aspects of water resource management. The models will be applied
in five participatory integrated assesments. Specific objectives are:
- To further cooperation between water resource decision makers, experts in
water resource management and experts in agent-based social simulation.
- To analyse hydrosocial issues of waster water treatment, water scarcity
and integrated catchment planning in selected regions.
- To develop agent-based models for application to issues of water
treatment, scarcity and planning, including representing stakeholders'
decision making.
- To carry out participatory integrated assessments in five regions.
- To develop a methodology for the modelling of warter resource issues in
Europe applicable to policy formulation.
