Crop simulation models are valuable tools for quantifying crop yield response to water, and
for devising strategies to improve agricultural water management. However, applicability of …

Modelling managed resource systems can involve the integration of multiple software
modules into a single codebase. These modules are often written by non-software …

Recent observations show that the river Zenne (Belgium) remains well below the water
quality goals stated by the European Union Water Framework Directive. An interuniversity …

Many simulation models focus on simulating a single physical process and do not constitute
balanced representations of the physical, social and economic components of a system. The …

A geospatial sensor web can be seen as a complex observation system consisting of
distributed nodes with different functions and web-based access interfaces. Because of its …

In environmental research the importance of interfaces between the traditional knowledge
fields in natural and social sciences is increasingly recognized. In coupled component …

Sub-disciplines of the water sector are fractured into specialty domains. So the underlying
modeling tools for flow and water quality are designed based on a pre-determined set of …

Significant economic losses, large affected populations, and serious environmental damage
caused by recurrent natural disaster events (NDE) worldwide indicate insufficiency in …

The paradigm of dynamic data driven application system (DDDAS) has been proposed as a
framework to analyze and predict the character and behavior of complex systems that …

Descriptions of biochemical conversion processes based on QUAL principles have been
used widely. We chose the recently developed IWA RWQM1 principles to model in-stream …
