Contents Notes
The River Basin Model is not primarily a water management model. Through human interaction and computer simulation, it and its users represent the major economic, social, and governmental decision-making which causes a regional system to function and change on a year-to-year basis. As part of the functioning of this system, water is demanded by industries and municipal water suppliers and pollution is generated by manufacturing and commercial activities, by people, and by farm activities. A gaming format is employed; model users provide inputs to the computer programs on behalf of business activities in the Economic Sector, groups of people or population units in the Social Sector, and government departments in the Governmental Sector. The Governmental Sector and the model required by its Highway Department are described.
