After a hiatus in dam investment, through the 1990s and the early part of this century, construction of large dams is increasing again. Modern decision support systems can usefully input to this process by guiding the analysis of complicated hydrological, environmental, social and economic factors associated with water allocation and assessing the impact of different, often conflicting, management options both in planning and operation of dams. This publication highlights the constructive role that decision support systems can play in planning and operation of dams.

How do we integrate bio-physical and socio-economic data?

What are the best methods to fill data gaps and move across scales?

How do we select the most appropriate models from the plethora available and transfer these tools and technologies to partners with limited means?

How do we link different models and build feed-back loops...?
