Zusammenfassung

As defined by the Global Water Partnership (GWP) Integrated Water Resources Management refers to the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources for optimising economic and social welfare without compromising the sustainability of vital environmental systems. It is obvious that this is a complex issue where we need new approaches to the assessment, development and management. To assist processes in IWRM socio-technical tools as for instance Decision Support Systems (DSS) can be very helpful. A DSS for IWRM can be understood as a socio-technical instrument which is a machine, a tool and a medium which promotes better understanding and handling of such complex system as river basins in a coherent and transparent management process with mutual learning.
