We review some important shortcomings of many management and policy models and argue for improved human-computer-model interaction and communication. This interaction can lead to more effective model use which in turn should facilitate the exploration, analysis, and synthesis of alternative designs, plans, and policies by those directly involved in the planning, management, or policy making process. Potential advantages of interactive modeling and model use, as well as some problems and research needs, are discussed. date: 1985 date_type: published publisher: American Geophysical Union id_number: 10.1029/WR021i002p00095 creators_browse_id: 2138 creators_browse_id: 2032 creators_browse_id: 1241 full_text_status: public publication: Water Resources Research volume: 21 number: 2 pagerange: 95-102 refereed: TRUE issn: 00431397 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Loucks, D.P. , Kindler, J. , & Fedra, K.
