It frameworks

Objective

The aim of integrated water management is to develop sustainable policies that reconcile competing demands within catchments. Interactions between processes make this a difficult task. Consequently, managers use models to help foresee the likely outcomes of different options. Models tend to address single issues and to see the wider implications, several models must be linked. Few current models are designed for linking and no generic plug and play mechanism exists that allows models of large multi-national catchments or complex processes spanning many disciplines to be built up. The HarmonIT project is one of a cluster concerned with developing the methodologies and tools required to implement integrated water management as envisaged by the Water Framework Directive. Its objective is to identify the user requirement for model linking and deliver solutions at two levels: file transfer (XML) and an Object Oriented approach.
