Can we learn from computer science to better cater to needs of water system users? (answer: no)

Can we learn from computer • science to better cater to needs of • water system users? • (answer: no) • Nick van de GiesenErik Mostert • Numerical Modelling - Policy Interface1st Workshop - Stuttgart

Outline • What we are doing now • What we would like to be doing • Some ideas…

What we are doing now Computational KERNEL

What we are doing now Computational KERNEL SHELL

What we are doing now Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL

What we are doing now Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS ??? SHELL

What we are doing now Sobek www.wldelft.nl

What we are doing now WEAP www.weap21.org

What we are doing now • Not difficult • Visualize model result • Not used by policy makers

What we would like to do Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL

Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL What we would like to do • Invert design process for (large) Decision Support Systems in Water Resources Management • (Application Science)

Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL What we would like to do • Has been done:Participatory modeling (AEM) • Extensive experience 1980’s - now N.America/Australia

Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL What we would like to do • Has been done: ComSci, Unified Modeling Language

Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL • What we would like to do • Has been done: ComSci, Unified Modeling Language Use cases

Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL • What we would like to do • Has been done: ComSci, Unified Modeling Language Use case  Kernel

Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL • What we would like to do • Has been done: Bidding process Maeslantkering

Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL • What we would like to do • Has been done: Bidding process Maeslantkering n meters close 6 hrs no hindrance

Computational KERNEL MARKET USERS SHELL • What we would like to do • Has been done: Bidding process Maeslantkering • Hennes de Ridder

First ideas • Inverting the design process • Our model: Building processes • Concrete place: Haaglanden

First ideas • Urban & regional planners

First ideas • Urban & regional planners Red Green Blue 15% blue…

First ideas • Urban & regional planners Red Green Blue “OK”

First ideas • Urban & regional planners Red Green Blue “Not OK”

First ideas • Urban & regional planners Red Green Blue “OK again”

First ideas • Urban & regional planners • Engineering challenge: • Add inter-activity

First ideas • In general, stating the obvious, to invert design process: • Enter dialogue… • … move away from generic models
