Cross-Impact Simulation in Water Resource Planning.
Abstract
The report describes a planning procedure known as KSIM for structuring and analyzing relationships among broadly defined variables in large socio-economic systems. The procedure enables a team of planners, first, to define and structure a set of variables describing a perceived problem and then, using a computer, to calculate and display the changes in the variables over time. By observing the changes and then making modifications and refinements, the team developed a model of the problem situation. With a model planners can test various alternatives and review and improve their understanding of the problem. An example is included in the presentation.
