Abstract

This research was carried out as a part of investigations undertaken by the IIASA on the methods and procedures that can assist the design of policies aimed at providing for the rational use of water and related resources taking into account economic, environmental and institutional aspects. One of the case studies which was used for testing these methods is the problem of application of water in agricultural production in the Southern Peel region of the Netherlands. Here we apply to the investigation of water problems of the region under study a new approach -- the generalized reachable sets (GRS) method. This approach makes it possible to present the information contained in a model implicitly in an aggregated explicit form. Within the framework of decision support systems the GRS approach can be applied for analysis of simplified models on screening stage of investigation. The method allows us to describe the set of all indicator values which are reachable (accessible) under feasible alternatives.
