6. Barcelona meeting – March 2001 LISC – IRMO – UR3S Orb : the basin issues n Objective of FIRMA in Orb : u Support water council for mediation n Issues : 1. Floods : big issue, but risky business 2. Irrigation & scarcity : not a big deal 3. Water quality :  bathing issue, fish 4. + Tourism & Agriculture BUT : Integrative objective for policy makers = local development…  Objective : keep together population & environment (W) in a touristic region

10. Barcelona meeting – March 2001 LISC – IRMO – UR3S Possible models and usage choices  role playing games and models for collective management  prospective simulation of the basin, with population dynamics  negotiation models for flooded area TRY : Design a representation of the evolution of the Orb basin, unders various scenarios (weather, economy, migrations, water strategies), with outputs as water issues, economy & demography. Have this evaluated and modified by actors. Start actual process… TRY : Design a representation of the evolution of the Orb basin, unders various scenarios (weather, economy, migrations, water strategies), with outputs as water issues, economy & demography.

Barcelona meeting – March 2001 LISC – IRMO – UR3S Model’s structure (extended Thursday WP3)  Water environment + population (+ economy)  Time horizon : + 15 years (back  40 years)  Time step : ~ season (cf tourism)  Main processes : Migrations (housing & tourism) Migrations (housing & tourism) Land use evolution Land use evolution Water use changes (demand & wastes) Water use changes (demand & wastes) Tourism dynamics Tourism dynamics !!! A common model but different possible approaches of model use and degrees of realism of representations

12. Barcelona meeting – March 2001 LISC – IRMO – UR3S Model participative design Objective : design models structure & content with actors, to facilitate appropriation  ask for :  model focus  known environmental and social dynamics  main inputs and leverages  interesting descriptors  scenarios  past observed processes  validation of what’s done and results  Requires preliminary education ???
