  3. Background Great potential of Decision Support System (DSS): • identification of sustainable water resource management regimes in the Mediterranean basin, where water resource scarcity is a contributing factor to conflict and instability. • DSS tools can help to design management strategies which are flexible enough to accommodate changing political and socio-economic situations as well as technological innovations • strict enough to ensure the ecological sustainability of water uses • Experiences with DSS tools are rare in the Mediterranean countries • Only episodically exploited outside the academia

  4. The Nostrum-DSS project Through the development and dissemination of best practices that represent the main component of the Nostrum-DSS Guidelines (NDG) for the design and implementation of DSS tools for IWRM in the Mediterranean Area. Goals to establish durable links between scientific institutions, governments, NGOs, SMEs and other stakeholders and improve public awareness on water management; to improve scientific knowledge and applied methodologies in IWRM; to promote the development of suitable Dss tools built upon real needs of policy making in IWRM

  5. NDG’s development The guidelines are developed with the active participation of scientists, policy makers and key stakeholders. Through the involvement in - the development of the National Reports, - ad hocquestionnaires, - local meetings policy makers and stakeholders informed the Nostrum-Dss scientific community with their knowledge and needs.

  6. NDG’s development Nostrum-DSS CA adopted a: multi-sectoral approach, by considering possible applications of DSS in various sectors (agriculture, industry, tourism, urban areas) multi-disciplinary approachdifferent aspects that a DSS should take into account for supporting IWRM (technological, environmental and socio-economic aspects). Extended review of documents, manuals, guidelines produced in the context of related EU and international projects and initiatives

  8. Guidelines’ Contents Within the Guidelines DSS refer to a wide range of computer-based tools (simulation models, and/or techniques and methods) developed to support decision analysis and participatory processes in the water management sector. The main problems connected with the use of Dss for policy making in natural resources management could be due to: • a general misunderstanding of the tool, • the lack of a user-friendly interface, • Dss only answers to researchers’ needs, and not to the effective needs of the users.

  9. Guidelines’ Contents • Introduction • Lack of communication between science and policy • Lack of financial resources • Need for capacity building and technology transfers • Need for an Integrated approach Actor and Problem Analysis • DSS: support for participatory decision processes. • DSS to investigate the problem at hand Policy/Decision Design • Water policies, measures and implementation instruments • Need for expert knowledge • Indicators Policy/Decision Choice • Assessment of alternative options • Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, quality assurance • Uptake of the system results

  15. Nostrum-DSS Meta-Guidelines (NDMG) The Guidelines are the most important component of a concept of “meta-guidelines” • interactive 3D web-based tool guiding the user through the available resources: - main project’s outcomes - other sources, data, manuals, approaches… • facilitating access to information available resources with increasing levels of details, META- : avoiding duplications of previous efforts (i.e. previously published guidelines, toolboxes, manuals, etc.), preferring instead to build upon already existing materials.

  16. The NDMG’s Structure GUIDELINES Matrix Web based tool, developed upon a series of layers taking the user to a whole set of final products: • Vertical dimension: the products are displayed on the different levels of the structure according to an increasing degree of detail. • Horizontal dimension: synoptic view of the various relevant items Search Policy Briefs Nostrum-DSS Homepage 2 Deliverables 3 Data / other sources & links 4
