Abstract
IMPETUS has developed decision support tools for evaluating management options to address water-related problems for different scenarios of Global Change. The tools consist of Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSSs), Information Systems (ISs), and Monitoring Tools (MTs). The so-called SMILE (Scientific Model Integration pipeLine Engine) framework has been developed, which integrates these components (see chap. II-2). The overall system is intended to be used by decision makers and stakeholders and is available to everyone interested scientifically or involved in water management (see the end of sect. II-2.3). This book was not intended as an instruction manual for the decision support tools. Rather, its purpose is to elucidate scientific results linked to these tools.
