NUMERICAL MODELS AS DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS IN COASTAL AREAS

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO Security through Science Series ((NASTC))

Abstract

Whenever policy decisions are to be made affecting the natural resource Water—arguably the most precious natural resource—an implacable scrutiny is to be expected. Legal demands are huge as the large number of EU directives targeting water testifies, from which stand out the Nitrates Directive, the Urban Wastewater Directive, the Drinking Water Directive, the Bathing Water Directive and the Water Framework Directive. Media and public opinion at large are continuously exerting a strong pressure over these policies. Decisions need to be thoroughly supported and documented and this is where computers come into play. Modelling tools, in the form of Decision Support Tools, are extensively used both to detect and select the “best” solution and to prove that the best solution was chosen.
