Decision support tools for municipalities and water supply companies

We offer a decision support tool to help municipalities and water supply companies to integrate hydrological models in the decision-making process. The system is tailor-made to cater to the specific requirements of the user. All inputs and outputs from the system are processed such that no prior model knowledge is required.

As the challenges of surface water and groundwater resource management grow, the hydrological models used to address these problems can be quite complex. Nevertheless, hydrological models provide significant added value to the decision-making process. For this, it is essential that model information is accessible to professionals who have little or no specialist knowledge of hydrological modelling.

We offer a solution wherein:

• the model is accessed via the Internet
• different scenarios can be created allowing the user to change certain parts of the model, such as abstraction, weed cutting, precipitation and so on
• different scenarios can be run – the model simulations are run at DHI
• the presentation of results of the model is targeted to the needs of the customer and may be visualised or downloaded
